Hello Padrenator and welcome.. Don't bother holding back, there are so many ridiculously experienced vapers here I'm sure you won't have any problems getting some answers!
Welcome to ECF and congrats on switching from tobacco. If you're having a leaking issue it has to do with the tank on top of the Coolfire IV.
Which tank is it?
Leaks are usually due to a missing seal, burnt hits that have burnt away some cotton which allows juice to seep through or just plain drawing/sucking too hard which causes flooding.
There's a start for you. Cheers.

My main issue is that If I should draw it directly into lungs or just into mouth..because when I try sucking it just into mouth I can do it for just 1,5-2 seconds and thats it..and also after a while it feels overheated and it burns a little on the tongue..and the taste is also not goot at all..I recently changed te coil to a KAL-BVC type and set it for 30W. The tank is iSub V
Nex issue is that when I drawed it into lungs i heard a cracking noise and felt some liquid on tongue but that might be because i sucked too hard
Thanks and sorry for my english

It depends on the coil that is installed.
If it is a subohm coil you will want wide open airflow and do a direct to lung inhale.
If the coil resistance is over 1 ohm the airflow will be more restricted and require a mouth to lung draw.
Always start at a low power setting with a new coil and work the power up slowly every few puffs. Always prime the coil with liquid and do primer puffs before applying any power to the new coil.
Take your time, you'll figure it all out and find what works best for you. Cheers.
I prefer direct to lung inhale and this coil is 0.5 ohm so it should be OK..also i inhale with the airflow wide opened but this way I almost always get some liquid into mouth and when I try sucking more slowly it brings me coughing and sore lungs
Welcome and glad you joined.

okay... is it gurgling(watery bubbling noise)? I always suggest this, because it does work with tanks that have the room to do it... grab a q-tip and run it all the way in through the mouth piece, it will soak up the excess fluid, that will help in the short term.
flooding, gurgling, spitback have a few causes...
the most common is too low wattage with sub-ohm... so after you q-tip it, raise it a few wats and try again, until it stops doing that. if it tastes burnt, lower it a few watts.
liquid that is too watery/thin can be an issue
cotton in the wrong position, not enough etc as well.
if it's still having problems, it could be loss of vacuum and the O-rings(seals)

Thanks a lot! very useful informations
I'm looking for a different liquid for sure and the problem was because I drawed too quickly..but when i draw slowly i cough like crazy and my lungs hurt...I will try liquid with less nicotine next time. Can you please reccomend me brands of liquid that are not so thin? Or how can I tell the difference and what to look for. Thanks a lot
I couldn't recommend a brand, unless you live in Ontario Canada... but buy the juices you like, and look to see if they say max VG or 80/20 or 75/25 - VG/PG ratio etc. you're looking for high VG juices if you want thicker.
since you are a subohmer, what is your nic strength? for most, 6mg is good to start, because the nic is more intense that way. that could definitely be your coughing.

Yes I've had 6mg and it was less harsh but I wanted to try 9mg and I just can't handle it so I'm buying 3 mg next time for sure...
Another question I want to ask is if I can buy coils with more resistance for my device and if I should or just stay with sub ohm vaping and adapt to It. Because I've read that it consumes more battery and so on but I just love the big clouds of vapor it produces

Yeah 9mg on a subohm device sounds like it might be harsh to me, lol.. The local shop that's right by me has pretty good house liquid, its all 85/15 and they don't even offer anything stronger than 6mg... I know I personally seem to still need the 6. I was like a pack and a half a day smoker up until maybe 6 weeks ago now and the one time I tried to go all day on a 3mg juice I felt like I was dieing for a cig for the first time in weeks. Just go with what feels good for ya.. Good luck!
I was using 18 mg (used to smoke about 1 PAD of 8 mg) to actually quit but that wore thin about 1 to 2 weeks in and soon found myself back to 6 mg and now starting to appreciate the taste with 3 mg (I also quite cigs about 6 weeks ago) but none of the nic decrease was a planned or active attempt by me to lower the nic. I simply found I no longer needed the high nic and didn't like the pepper afterburn taste you get from it.
And what is your opinion of making your own liquids from base and aroma? I found pretty good base with desired PG\VG ratio and I'm curious if there are any advantages of it
it's generally cheaper and you can flavour it to taste. changing the ohms is subjective.. I've tried from .2 to 1.5 (I'm dtl)... for me above .8 felt like I was trying to vape through a straw and less flavour, my hubby who is mtl actually doesn't like the higher ohms either, with a similar complaint. I'd try it and see if you like it or not.
Ok I have purchased 3mg liqua liquid and a new coil which is also 0,5 ohm but only 20-35W and I's the best vaping experience so far...Thank you all for support and if I will have futher questions I will definitely catch up on you guys
Ok I have another question..everytime I pour liquid into my tank somehow a little bit leaks out of the bottom and it's really messy..that way I need to disassemble everything and wipe it off..after that everything is ok...what am I doing wrong?
