Welcome to the world of Smok...leaks like this have plagued Smok tanks since the TFV4 years ago...there is some alleged "fixes" but I found a realistic fix that worked for me personally. I don't buy Smok products. I could write pages about the negatives of Smok products, but you're already learning that, so I won't bore you with it.

A different brand of device, preferably from somewhere that won't sell you junk.

I'm sorry if that sounds mean but Smok doesn't have a good track record. They're good for getting your feet wet (no pun intended) but they're terrible products that are known to fail. Some people have had good luck with them but they are probably the most frowned upon brand in vaping. For good reason.

Problems with your device could be too thin of a liquid, defective coil, o-ring out of placement or just terrible tolerances in the machining of the device.

that's his fix.... Idk honestly I had the tfv 7 (I think it was the 7) the coils leaked... the smok tc 150 mini mod broke after a few weeks..... Smok has not been my friend. I kept the tank but the only way to kill the leak was to buy the rda and close the airflow when filling. However I would not recommend the rba to a beginner... Maybe drain the juice deassemble the tank make sure the gasket didn't get kinked. Put it back together close airflow and fill...

Try changing all the seals and o-rings. Especially the top fill seal pad. I have had good luck with my Smok tanks. Occasionally one will leak even right out of the box and it has always been the top fill seal pad causing the problem. Good luck. I hope it helps.

BUMP.

Inclined to agree with the above speculation.

Have you changed out the o-rings?

Are you making sure your o-rings are fitting properly? Any of them broken?

Do you close your air flow control to fill the tank? Do you open your air flow control before using the tank?

Does the coil have enough wick? Too much wick?

All we are capable of here is asking you the device user questions, then possibly provide you with a little guidance or advice. Eventually, I will get around to making the transporter you see in Star Trek. Then, you can transport a device into a veteran vaper's hands, they can fix the issue, transport it back. Until then, here is what we got.

If we direct you to do something we normally have good reason to do that. It's nice too if you let us know what you're doing to help yourself solve the problem/s. I see you say you changed the coil but are still getting leaks. So, I had to ask if you've changed out o-rings. I had to ask about your air flow control. I had to ask your wick. You didn't say anything about these.

Not trying to sound mean to you. The problems you're having frustrate us as well. We want you to enjoy vaping. If though you're not helping yourself a bit, it makes it difficult for us to help you. We obviously cannot be there with you and fix the device, or use that transporter I need to build. So, you have to help yourself by trying what we suggest, keeping us informed of that. I think you can do it too. :)
 
I changed everything...
Video i was used to set up my device:
TBH dont know what "wick" is since this is my first device since i didint have luck with ego-t vape pen

Everybody needs to read a little closer. It's a subohm tank, stop asking about wicking.

I have 4 Smok tanks and currently use rba decks on 3 of them. But prior to building my own decks I used store bought coils. I have 3 out of the 4 leak out of the air vents, one tank leaked right out of the box. In all cases the cause of the leak was a worn or faulty top fill seal pad. If everything is fitting well the source of the leak is the seals. I stated this previously top fill seal pad. It is also the easiest one to replace. Again top fill seal pad. Lets in the air and juice runs out.
