Could be a wicking issue, but it's probably a leaky or missing o-ring at the coil. They have to go in just right. Too loose, it will bypass. Too tight, it will deform.
I've noticed with any coil/tank I've owned that all seem to leak when it's time to change the coil. Even with my Smok triple coil, it tends to leak after 100 ml of juice (sometimes I get more ml).
Check your o-rings. You have one on the bottom of the coil, one at top and bottom of the glass in the metal parts, and one around the chimney. I have found that putting a little juice on all of them helps keep them in place when assembling the tank...a little bit inside the top and bottom of the glass. Like @suprtrkr they tend to snag and deform pretty easily.
And welcome to the forum! Lots of great folks here with some good knowledge they love to share!
there are a couple of things that could go wrong
1 o rings (losing/misplacing one in cleaning ...) imprtant ones to check are the one on the chimney where the coil connects to the top and the one on the bottom of the coil
2 the silicone disc on the topfill
if that one dousnt close decently air gets in liquid goos out
check it if it looks damaged replace, if the little lip sticking up is damaged apparently you can cut that off with a sharp knife and it should work again to (its on youtube somewhere)
3 especially for the first assembly, withouth lubrication (some ejuice) the treading/ base and top orings can be stiff as hell making for a bad assembly
my first assembly leaked 2, i had the topfil open once in pocket guess the mess, and i had a wicking issue on the rba with some leaking
for the rest it has been rock solid for me on both the tripple as the quad cores and the rba
