I am fairly new to vaping and ordered an istick 30w and a nautilus mini which arrived to me this last Friday. I read all the instructions and loaded it up, used it all evening Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday...however this morning I went to use it on the way to work and all the juice was leaking out of the air hole? I of course had no extra supplies on me so I had to wait until I got home to mess with it. I just put a different coil in, put juice in, finger tightened it, primed it and then set it upright for about 30 minutes. Same thing all the juice is leaking out of the air hole...what am I doing wrong here?

Are you sure your coil is screwed in the base good and tight? I've used Nauti's for over a year now and never had this problem. Maybe someone will come along with some help for you.
You can't really over tighten the coil itself I don't think. You could definitely over tighten the base though.

The o ring is there and looks to be ok. I have another question? Is it possible that its clogged because I use 100% VG?
My Minis have leaked a grand total of twice.
Once was me loosening the bottom to the tank when trying to turn the air hole dial. Lost half a tanks before I figured it out.
The other time I left it in the car 3 weeks back in the July heat. The 70/30 juice was verrrrry thin from hours of 120F inside the car. It seeped from the air holes.

I would not use 100 VG in the Mini, 50/50 at the most. It may not be the cause but sure can make it appear clogged, too thick to get proper airflow.
No... you'd have exactly the opposite problem... dry hit city.
Do you have the new cotton coils for the Nautilus? If not, the older coils ARE prone to poorer taste, less ability to handle VG, and flooding issues... snap a photo of the coil and post it.
I will have to take a photo when I get home...I finally put it back together last night and used it, and used it again early this morning and it was completely fine...as soon as I got in my car to leave for work it leaked all over me so I left it at home
I use 70 to 80 VG in my Minis and they don't leak and it vapes just fine.
Hmm... that's the new cotton coil. They wick lots better than the older coils. Have you tried a juice with more VG? Your liquid might be thin enough to flood the coil. Once that happens the juice has no place to go except down in the afc ring and out the air holes.
If you're doing everything right it won't leak could be a defective top part maybe? Just to make sure read your instructions again and fill like they say. Make sure the top part is snug but don't tighten hard. Screw the coil tight until it won't turn. Fill from the bottom, put a little juice on the seal and screw the bottom on but don't snug it hard. When removing the bottom wrap your hand around the glass if you hold it by the top cap it will loosen as you unscrew the bottom and you don't want that. I would also try a new coil.
