I just got the aspire plato a few days ago and it started leaking before i could even use it. I then realized it wasn't screwed in completely. It still leaks when i refill. Could it be because i screw the coil in too tight? PLEASE HELP. Its a nice product, just want it to stop leaking so f-ing much

The coil might be flooding when you fill it. Air needs to be able to escape from the tank as your filling. Someone said they switched to a smaller tip dropper that didnt completely cover the hole as they were filling it and it fixed it for them.
Also the coil needs to be screwed in far enough that the chimney piece is about flush with the top of the mod but really just a hair below the top of the mod is where I like it. If the chimney sticks out above the top of the mod then the coil isnt screwed in all the way and that could cause it to leak. Also the glass tank isnt sealed good either if the chimney isnt sitting slightly below the top of the mod.
Another thing you could do is if you detect the the coil is starting to flood ( and not caused by not screwing it in all the way) you can
1 holding it upright remove the magnetic cover and open the filling tab
2 remove the drip tip and put your thumb/finger over the chimney sealing it so air/eliquid cant escape that way
3 keeping it upright lift it up, take a deep breath and blow upward through the air flow control all while keeping your finger pressed over the chimney opening at the top. This will clear the coil of the excess liquid and it should end up in your tank and not in the chamber. The fix should be noticeable on your very next hit.
4 if your tank is already full you cant do this because the eliquid will come out the filling tab as it needs be be left open for this to work.
Ive done this a couple times and it fixed it and the flooding didnt return for the duration of that tank.
This is only for the coil flooding/excess liquid in the coil chamber. I have not experienced any leaking, but make sure once your done installing the coil the top of the chimney is just a hair below the top of the mod.
