I have a problem with the aspire atlantis leaking and its going in the drip tip and i see some of it coming out the air flow holes ived taken apart everything and cleaned and dried it for 2 days and it happened again. I made sure the coil was securely twisted on the bottom piece. Anyone know how to fix this?
Aspire Atlantis leaking through airflow holes and in drip tip!

It sounds like it's flooded badly or leaking around the coil. Check the oring on the coil and don't overtighten anything. What is the PG/VG ratio of the juice you're using? What opening is the airflow set at? If the eliquid is thin (Lot of PG) or the airflow is really tight (Tight draw, lots of vacuum) it might flood.
Have you tried changing the coil, that's fixed mine the few times it was flooding.

+1 for this
Also...
It sounds really simple but it worked for me on my Kanger SubTank. I was having the same problem with the liquid coming from the airflow. i took it to the B&M and the guy pointed out the really obvious. The coil is just a tiny sponge, once its full its going to leak and take the path of least resistance (the airflow holes) all i started to do was take the tank off when i wanst going to be using it a while and i sit it upside down on a tissue. Then assemble when im ready to Vape
Just an idea
Hope you get sorted & Happy Vaping.
You live in Vancouver. Any chance you're driving up and down mountains? The air pressure changes will force juice through the coils and cause leaking. You go up in altitude and the air pressure drops which is makes the air pressure inside the tank higher than outside. Tanks work by creating a vacuum effect inside the tank, and when the pressure inside the tank is higher than outside it's going to force liquid through the coils until the pressure is equalized.
The only way to prevent that is to take puffs on it every couple of minutes to equalize the pressure in the tank.
I've run into this a lot while driving through the mountains.

I tried the second coil and tightened it and I tried the paper towel trick too and no I don't go up and down mountains I saw somewhere to put the Watt up higher and the air flow bigger but I see the juice residue in the drip tip still I have it set at 35w and the biggest airflow
Simple test
Remove the base and separate the coil
Wipe both clean of e-liquid - wet wick is okay
Clear the Tip and tube with q-tip/etc.
Assemble and set upright on a paper towel for 1/2 hour
If it leaks it is not sealing
If it does not leak the problem may be thin e-liquid or simply you draw technique.
Thousands of people use Nautilus(similar) but my son has (2) and cannot use either without them flooding. His draw creates to much suction. Now all he uses are RDA's

I get fluid in all my drip tips, I think it's just caused by the vapor since it's heated liquid vapor. My friend had 4 nautilus' and he hadn't had a flooding problem with any of them. I'm still learning towards a vacuum leak from a bad gasket or something. Maybe a chip in the glass?
