I started this in the hopes that others would post ones they found that were virtually LEAK proof. I am talking carry in your pocket or lunch box. Lay it down flat on the truck seat or your desk and not a drop of liquid comes out.
I will kick it off with one that @Rob62 recently turned me onto. The Sentinel
While it fits the bill for leak proof it is by far not my favorite atty. My favorite to date is the recurve for vape experience but the only way it is leak proof for traveling is this.
The vape band over the air holes works but is a real hassle to keep taking off so this is just my example on what I don’t want even though I love the vape on this thing.
Interested to see the replies on this. I didn’t think it was possible with the wide-open nature of the general RDA design concept. No tank, just an open deck with a mouth hole and air flow holes. Aside from closing the AF and putting a cap on the drip tip, I can’t see how it would work. But, I’ve had misconceptions on many things and it’s always a nice surprise to have my mind opened.
I guess I actually should have explained the Sentinel a little more. It is what I am looking for by closing the air flow ring off when not in use. There are no leaks unless you turn it upside down and get liquid out of the drip tip. My only real issue with it is the design of the build deck itself. The vape is OK but re-wicking is more difficult than any other atty I have.
I can however lay both of the set ups pictured above on the seat of my truck like this.
Check out the Basic RDA. It doesn’t leak (unless you turn it upside down after a fresh squonk), has great flavor, smooth airflow, and the build deck is very easy to build on. Only $7.67 with the MAP code at FT for the SXK version.
wow you really have to squonk hard to get the juice that high in the DR 24 or DR SQ. Those are my go to travelers since they ride in the console change pocket in my car (top of the pic below) that has the mod on a 45 degree angle. My Athena RDA is another top airflow squonk setup that is nearly impossible to make leak, though it does sometimes weep a little around the bottom lip of the deck (might need to try replacing the bottom o-rings on the deck). My Pulse 22 is fairly leak proof as well thanks to the bottom deck ring but the Pulse 24 was a weeping POS on the top of my mods.
My Recurves tend to leak out the airflow holes if I over squonk while holding them on angle but they do OK if I travel with it in my rx200s vape holster set in my cup holder:
