Hi, I am new to this, i just got my afs v3 today. I tried to assemble it and fills it with liquid. It keeps leaking from the bottom when i released my finger from the bottom part after it is fully assembled. I tried to reassemble 3 times but getting the same result. I tried to change atty but cant seems to make it work. Please help.

Is it leaking from the hole in the bottom of the atty connector or from around the threads?
first thing, remove the connector and the atty from it, use a pair of pliers to tighten the pin with the hole in the bottom of it, don't tighten too much, but you want it good and snug. That sounds like your problem.
You don't want to do this with the atty installed because it might cause a short in it by applying to much pressure on it's positive terminal.
I notice that I am unable to screw the atty completely due to center pin is blocking as I screwed it in 3/4 way. Should I try to remove the center pin, screw the atty completely then put the center pin juz enough for it to make a contact?
No, just the opposite, make sure the pin is tight then screw the atty til it makes contact
It wont matter that the atty doesn't screw all the way down. If your using the 510 connector after the atty gets screwed on until contact then screw the ring up tight to the atty and back it off about 1/8 - 1/4 of a turn depending on how thick your juice is (less for thin 1/8 and more for thick 1/4) and you should be good to go
If your using 100% VG you can back the ring all the way off or even remove it. Once you get the hang of setting it up your on easy street from then on

Just saw this. Go read the post troubleshooting the afs v3. I addressed the leaking issues with mine.
Here is how i solve my problem. After i assemble and put the liquid in, it still leaks from the bottom pin. I found out that, when i unscrew the top cap a little and re-tightened it then tightened atty connector to tank, it stops leaking. I think maybe the pressure needs to be re-adjusted that fix this problem. I am still trying to figure out the real problem though.

Tried to refill yesterday, and I found out that it still leaking, the fix is as Darth mentioned, it's the small oring between top cap and mouth piece which is not able to retain the air pressure, putting some vaseline on this solve this problem. Overall, fantastic device.
