Ok so i know there have been a few threads regarding what you can and can't travel with, but there is something I haven't seen mentioned (but I might have missed it) and that is...... Leaking atties on flights. Now we all know airline cabins are pressurised and this can cause cartos to flood and clearomisers to leak. This exact issue got me last Monday. 2ml of blackcurrent all in my rucksack! But it smelt nice ;-) Now I was thinking about this all week ahead of flying back Friday and what I could do to prevent it and this was my epiphany I use a protank so I made sure it was only halffull, the then made sure it was upside down, the logic being if the liquid can't reach the wicks it can't be pushed out. Cunning or what! As extra insurance I did push some tissue down the mouthpiece and wrapped the whole thing in a napkin. But there was no leakage at all. So have I found a solution? I flying twice again this week and will try it again and let you know the results, but I think logically it's correct, Please share if you have any other cunning plans to counter this nuisance!

An atty with juice control has always worked for me like an oddy (clone) or a Mister. Close it off before the flight, open after.
The cabin is low pressure compared to what we have on the ground so the internal 'normal' pressure in your atty will be higher than the cabin and that will push the juice out unless you can normalise it somehow or turn it in a way that the juice has no way to escape.

Last holiday I used an Evod on all the flights and never had any leaking. I think to be extra sure I'd use either a cartomiser or a Spheroid.
