Going from the basic vaping lifestyle to A Mod Vape!!! Big difference!! About 3 years ago I started on stick batteries and plastic tanks! Now I have purchased 2 brand new SMOK mod ProColor kits for both myself and my husband. In a attempt to try and get him to quit smoking also!! It came with a TFV8 Smok Big Baby Tank....
I have been vaping for awhile now I just have never had a mod. Well the tank came assembled so I assumed that it was good to go! How wrong I was, I ended up losing approximately 10-15 ml of
e-Juice in between both tanks before I figured it out. The 1st was easy only because it was not a faulty coil. So even if it comes assembled I suggest that you take the actual coil out and re secure it before putting any juice in your 1st time. On my Husband’s it worked out the first time no further issues. But in my situation I actually had a faulty cool! Which definitely surprised me but there’s always a chance of a bad coil no matter what.... Luckily it came with a second coil and even though the one it started with had .4 ohms, The back up coil it came with was actually a .15 ohm one and turns out I actually like it better than the other one because I vape around 40-50 watts and this one does best from 60-80 watts goes from 50-110 watts it is specifically the:
V8 Baby-T8 (0.15 ohm) coil!!!
The V8 Baby Q2 is to strong for myself!! Just depends on how powerful you want it. Personally I lowered my temperature and everything and I am vaping now on 400* degrees and 50 watts with fruity 70/30 e-liquid!!! I have to say that even though it took me awhile to learn how to use the mod itself and finally getting the leaking issues under control it was worth it!!!!

Welcome Aboard
All your questions will be answered here so much info available and so many good people, have fun. Do your research and ask questions is the best advice I can give and the only stupid questions are the ones not asked:)

As far as I remember the V8 is well know for leaking issues and I personally don't use Smok products but there are plenty that do.

Have Fun

Welcome yes, no temp control for Smok coils. You may be able to put other coils in there successfully and see how you do with TC.

My inclination is to tell you to buy another tank but I don't want to hate too much on your equipment right off the bat. Leaky is just never good though..... It's like RIGHT under "explosive" as far as negative tank adjectives in my book. Welcome.

Most leaking comes from either A. Chain vaping and the thermal expansion really doesn't get along with the gaskets that seal the tank. or B. storing the vape on its side, NEVER store your tanks laying on the side unless you want a pocket full of juice when you pick it up and get on the move.

You might want to take those extra O-rings that came with your TFV8 Baby and re-gasket the tank and try to stay away from these 2 situations.
