Tired of leakage

Thanks Mongo 74. This has been a longstanding problem with many coil changes. I have tried replacing with different coills and yet the problem persists. I will check into the Arctic tank.
Maybe also check that the coil is screwed firmly into the base and that the chimney is straight up and down over the coil. Sometimes, the threads get off a tiny bit, causing more juice to get in.
OHHHH.. and highly important... close the airflow when you fill the tank and when not using it. With the top tank, this is usually the most common cause of juice out the vent holes.

Thanks guys! I always do close the airflow when filling it. It goes beyond a little leakage. It literally runs downy hand at times.
Mongo I ordered the Artic tank! I liked everything I read about it. Great reviews too. Coils are a bit pricy but hopefully will be worth it. Thanks for the suggestion.

All I can think of then, is take the entire unit apart, clean everything, reset the rubber O rings and put it carefully back together. Something is causing the negative pressure to be lost in the tank, which means air is getting in from someplace.
Been vaping for 2 years now and still can't work up the nerve to try a rebuild. 
There are so many videos on youtube that can help ease you into it. Believe me, the reward is well worth the effort. And as long as you're using a protected mod, a simple build error won't go TOO awry. I'd suggest building on an ohm reader initially as you try your hand at building. You're also in the right place as there are dozens of people always around to lend a helping hand.
I may give it a try but not on that Arctic lol. That looks a bit complex. I have watched some videos. It doesn't look too hard I guess. What are the benefits besides saving money, if any?
i have 3 of the mods, 5 of the tanks... and 2 of their pro tank 4s(dual coil rba you should check those out too)... none of mine leak, and i never bother to close the air vents.
leaking is caused like they said by:
the coil not being in properly
overfilling
loss of vacuum - the o-rings not being proper or torn, top or bottom not being screwed on tightly enough
badly wicked coil

it's stupid easy.Been vaping for 2 years now and still can't work up the nerve to try a rebuild.
Then just mount the coil to the deck and fire at a low wattage and compress it until it glows evenly from the center. Or just leave it spaced. I prefer compressed. Then...
I used this thing for about my first 3 months of vaping.
Quite literally.. if you can wrap a string around a nail, you can build a coil. lol
If you go to your regular vape shop, ask if they have a couple feet of wire you could have to try coil building with. Usually they are happy to part with like 10 feet or so, in consideration of future sales.
I find it hilarious, that 2nd vid has over 400 views, 1 down vote, and no comments.

Mostly saving money. $15 for a 5 pack of coils vs $16 for 30 feet of wire and a pouch of cotton bacon = about 60 coils.
and then you can get fancy.. like twist 3 strands together on a drill and make a coil for extra flavor, or use slightly thicker wire for extra cloud, and eventually, you will be confident enough to make clapton wire.. although it is much easier to just buy it already claptoned and make your coils from that.
