Liquid escaping from a pod or tank. Often caused by temperature changes, overfilling, damaged seals, or wrong orientation.
Flying, hot cars, and loose magnets are common leak triggers. Replace damaged pods instead of running them sideways in a bag.
When this matters
Travel with pods upright and slightly underfilled if your airline allows carry-on devices.

Leak questions
Why do pods leak in hot cars?
Liquid expands with heat and air pressure changes. Keep devices upright and avoid leaving full pods in extreme heat.
Should I keep vaping a leaking pod?
Fix the seal or replace the pod. Leaks waste liquid and can soak contacts, causing inconsistent firing.
