One tidbit of advice regarding preventing (or at least reducing) leaks with this RTA is to keep the coil at least about 2mm above the top of the airflow "hole" below the deck - otherwise juice will too easily leach (not sure if that is the right word) off the the coil to that hole, and then that juice will just keep slowly dripping down that path.
Don't allow your wick to touch your posts either, of course, or juice will makes it's way down your posts to the deck, and then eventually make its way down through the air hole below your coil as well.
Also, and this is very important, you have to use enough wick. This is tough when using 2.5mm inner diameter coil builds, but do-able. Anything smaller would just not allow for enough wick. You are better off with a 3mm ID coil build, or even larger (though that then can cause other problems). With too much wick it becomes difficult to keep the wick off your positive and negative posts - which in itself would then lead to leaking.
Also, you don't want your wick too tight in the coil, or the capillary action of your wick will be partially cutoff - squeezing juice out where you don't want it, and reducing the flow of juice to your coil. How much wick to use is a bit tricky with this tank, and maybe requires a bit of experimentation to get right.
I think I was lucky when I first wicked this tank. I used more than I feel I should have (for good, unrestricted juice flow), but I had no real leak issues whatsoever - yet vapor and flavor delivery were still pretty good. I thought I could improve on that by using less wick, to improve juice flow, but that is when I started having leak problems.
