I have tried three different brands and types of vaping devices (the first one was smok, the second one I can't remember the name, and the third was a Voopoo nano drag) so far that have all ended up leaking when not sitting upright, even when I'm positive everything was put together and working correctly. I'm looking for a recommendation of something small that I can just toss in my pocket or purse when on-the-go without having to worry about leakage, and was hoping you guys would know of some that would suit this?

I'm just looking for something small and simple as I'm not really into doing mods or messing with settings or anything like that, and would need something I can fill myself as I have a few big bottles of juice that I haven't been able to use due to this recurring problem.

I've used and still use the following, that IMO "fit" what you've described wanting, without leaking happening when they're on their sides, or in a purse or pocket. They vary in type and shape.

Eleaf iStick Pico Baby Kit (very small mod with a GS Baby tank that sits mostly down in the mod, has no adjustable settings, tank is easy to fill, easy to replace the GS Air coil, has a unique fire button and locking mechanism so there's no way it can accidently "fire" while in your purse or pocket)

Eleaf iStick Basic Kit (another small mod, has really nice handfeel, a single button for "on","off", and "fire", has no settings to mess with, comes with GS Air 2 tank that fits down in the mod and takes readily available GS Air coils, is also really great for purse or pocket carry

Both of the above mods in the kits have an internal battery. So you just recharge it with the included cable that comes in the kit. The iStick Basic battery is more than twice the capacity of the Pico Baby battery, so it will definitely last longer before needing to be charged.

JustFog Minifit Pod Set-Up - Very small, provides great vapor and flavor, charges in less than 30 minutes, pods are readily available and can be rebuilt (coil & wick can be replaced) if you want to, pods last a long time (I've put about 150mL of eliquid through my first one and it's still working great). My first 2 Minifits are more than 8 months old and both batteries are still taking a charge and working fine! They aren't my all-day-every-day only set-ups I use though. I'm sure with constant every day use they might not last that long.

I have other ideas, too, but those 3 came immediately to mind as ones that fit every criteria you had.

Somewhere out there
They all leak :(.

Am I extraordinary lucky that none of my gear leaks?

I mean, I do have to be careful how I build some RTAs to avoid leaking, but my pods don't leak and my drop in tanks don't leak.

I have nothing to reccommend to the OP, since all my gear is somewhat older and getting hard to find these days.

If you're looking for a pod system, the Justfog Minifit has been in pockets and purses for over a year and my wife hasn't had one leak. We use a 2/3 PG mix that's pretty thin too. Another vote for the Minifit here and good luck with your search!

Interesting. But can you please clarify...are you saying you should or shout not leave air space?
Leave air space. If you fill to the top (and the liquid is somewhat cool) then put it in your pocket it gets warm the liquid expands... air acts as a "cushion". I have a small pod that never leaks except the one time I did that.

And no one told you from the get-go that you just can't lay your tank or rda on its side, and what would happen?
Two of the three devices (the second one was given to me by a friend) I was told specifically would not leak prior to purchasing, but then figured out the hard way later that this was not the case, at least for me; I even did a ton of troubleshooting from youtube videos and tutorials from others online but still with the same results.


What VG/PG ratio are your juices? Two things that can contribute to leaking: 1. warm temps (pocket, hot car) 2. filling all the way (leave some airspace) These combined with thin juice can cause issues.
These are the juices I have been trying to use currently: IMG_2091.JPG

Um I am in search of a more achievable goal, a wallet that never runs out of money.

To be fair my tanks like leak and BREAK a LOT less than they used to but inevitably sometimes things will happen.

IDK you may wish for like a mod carrying case in this instance with like foam to soak up the leaks? A holster if it suits your fashion, or a widow's purse or whatever they were called those leather purses that hung from a lowly widow's belt and she had all the keys to the castle in it and she was paid in like table scraps and like, she never one time thought, "I have ALL the keys right in here, I am going to take some stuff and Get Out" or whatnot but well, societal expectations what can you do?
