Welcome to the forums, and you chose a decent PV to start with. Leaking happens with the Ego tanks, I try to keep my juices between 70/30 and 60/40 (pg/vg) to keep from leaking (a problem I don't have too often anymore), and to keep the wick working well. I personally don't care for the soft rubber caps that you can get for the tanks, I found that they didn't allow for good wicking, and have heard that over time they wear out and leak anyway. I usually use the hard plastic caps that came with my tanks, and once I've punched them with the cone spike I like to take an Xacto and cut the plastic that was punched through off, I found that also works for better wicking.
You should check around for a video on how to fully clean your atty via a dry burn, when I start to notice poor flavor/vapor (and blowing the cone out doesn't fix it) I pull the atty apart and do a full clean followed by a dry burn, think it's under the maintenance forums here.
Honestly though the Ego-t's are known to leak a little, not bad, and the wicking issues are probably a matter of learning curve. If you don't pull hard enough when vaping you'll dry out the wick, and if you pull too hard you're likely to flood the atty. Give it some time, and if you keep having problems feel free to post them here, we all love to talk lol.
Hope you enjoy the forums, vaping, and everything that comes with them.
