need quick help

Hey guys so I need help with my protank 3 ive heard a lot about the tank flooding/leaking on people so I was wondering how should I fix this? I was also wondering if it does flood would it ruin my mechanical mod or damage my battery causing a short? And lastly would you guys recommend a protank 3 on a mech mod?
Thanks in advance for the answers!

Here is my current set up
Stainless steel nemesis clone
protank 3 with 5 extra 1.8 ohm coils
smoktec kick 5-12 watts
Volt meter for battery & ohm reader
Stillare Infinite SXK Cartel V2 SS Brass Copper clone with organic cotton as the wicking
Sony vtc3 18650 1600 mah 30 a battery with 18650 battery case
Lightning vapes 26 gauge kanthal wire
nitecore i2 charger

On a stock protank you will want to keep the wattage down a bit on the kick. My wife likes those coils around 6-8 watts. Adding a airflow control valve will allow you to use more power due to the increased airflow. As far as leaking I have seen it happen for three reasons. Using incorrect coils, drawing to hard causing excess liquid to flow in the coil area, improperly filling. I tend to flood my wifes kanger gear as im use to my wide open airflow rda which I typically do lung pulls. With her gear I have to draw into my mouth first then into my lungs or I pull too hard.

Add a AFC (air flow control) base to replace the pt3 stock base. This will eliminate the leaking and provide needed air flow. And yes I have used a PT2 with AFC on a mech without problems. Not a mech fan so my experience is limited.

Thanks for the answers guys! EBates i took your advice and got the protank air controller. Just wanted to make sure there was no way this could drip im sure that it wont but just want to be safe.

The 510 connector of the AFC is sealed. This prevents the atomizer head 'ooze' from ending up on top of your mod. The 'ooze' will collect in the AFC and can easily be rinsed away during atty head replacement.
Adjusting the AFC can also give you control over flooding and dry hits. Increasing the airflow helps with flooding issues, while decreasing airflow will help with dry hit issues.
I think my wife and I have 15-20 PT/PT2/Puritanks that all have AFCs installed. Needless to say, I love 'em.
