I guess you'd call these vertical coils. The wicks go straight down into them. Would wicking it differently help with the leaking? Thanks

At the end of the day....
You will be AMAZED at the increase in performance if you get a device... Ultimately the decision is yours, and the ultimate goal is stay off cigs... Do you need a more powerful device to stay off cigs?? Probably not... Will it take you into the amazingness of the vape world? YES!
I had a vamo v5 as my first mod. It was 15 watts regulated. So a little bit more powerful than your itaste. My vaping experience sky rocketed once I moved on from that device... First I went to mechs then to high powered regulated mods. It really just depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go.

I run a catterpillar RDA on am MVP 2 daily.
It seems to work the best at 1.6-1.8 ohms with all the air holes open. Single micro coil works the best with a 70 vg 30 pg juice. 50/50 gives decent vape but the 70/30 works the best.

don't forget to YouTube some of them..PBusardo's one of our favorites when I was getting one...
Finally, is it normal for attys to leak profusely? Did I just get a crap device?
Depends on the atty; it's a simple matter of gravity.
My magma holds a lot and can't leak if it's upright.
My igo-w3 will leak if the wicks are soaked because it has air slots in the juice well sides.
Ok please bear with me. How much is too much? It seems that if I drip any in the well that's not on the wicks, it leaks.
Put lots of cotton.
The cotton acts as the reservoir for the juice; the well is not a tank, it's more like a form/shaper for the cotton.
-oh - if you are using silica I guess you can just stuff some of that in there.
It's kinda as if you're making up your own carto instead of buying cartos.
Thank you. That worked well. I just stuffed rayon alongside the vertical coils. Good enough until a rebuild.
UPDATE. I went on my own to do this outside of the B&M. Bought a Tugboat clone and some Kanthol 28 from eBay. I built the Tugboat to a single 1.8 and rebuilt the Atty to a dual 1.3. Both work acceptably on the MVP and VTR. No huge clouds, but an improvement over clearomizers. These weren't pretty builds, but somewhat functional. Ready to learn!
One of the problems that you face using an MVP (or other "low power" regulated mod) is that when trying to do dual coil builds you bump into the current limit of the battery. The Innoken stuff will try to fire just about anything that isn't a dead short (as will many other devices), but the gotcha is that they do it at the limit of their capability, not what you told it to fire at. Some other mods (like the iStick) will refuse to fire or will not allow you to choose a setting beyond what they can deliver.
When it comes to dual coils the trick is that you want to duplicate a single coil build that you like. This is fine and dandy until you realize that this puts you in sub-ohm territory if you like using single coils at less than 2 ohms.
To deal with this on these devices, you are forced to use much larger coils than you would like to get a reasonable total resistance. The new problem is that your device will not put out a high enough voltage to drive a 3+ ohm coil hard enough to produce the vapor we want.
With devices like the MVP that have a rather low amp limit, the only solution is a more powerful mod, sorry, but this is dictated by electrical law.
If you have a bit more power (more than about 15 watts and 3.5 amps) you can try with 2 ohm per coil duals, but with something like the iStick it won't fire if you're even a hair too low with your build. Here again peak voltage is a limit to the individual coil resistance.
If you want the flavor and vapor from multiple coils, the only real options are sub-ohming with a mech, or buying a higher powered regulated mod.

I got my first rda on Friday.
Its been good so far early days both the device and my building.
Just doing single coils have one at 1.2Ω 50/50 liquid and its going ok. Not really going for huge vapour just got it to change liquids more frequently.
Gets more vapour when i use this chuff style wide drip tip / top cap combo though sometimes it can be rather strong. If I use a normal 510 drip tip its still good but less vapour. This particular model has a Delrin drip tip insulator built in. Which I don't really know what that does but its some plastic thing that narrows the gap but when putting in the wide drip tip/top cap it replaces that so its more open , yet can be stronger.
I'm only playing around at 12 - 15 watts.
