Smok TFV4 Overheating & Leaking

I need help. Just got in a Smok TFV4, not the mini, and its overheating so badly that its leaking outa the airholes at the bottom. So far not at all impressed with this unit.

More info
How long have you had it?
Did you replace the coil?

Leaking with stock coils? Never heard of that. You might be missing an o ring somewhere.

It's going to get hot. It takes some wattage to push the thing.

The leaking? Can't help you there. I've had no issues.

My V4 does get warm chain vaping at 80w with the triple coil but not hot... No leaks at all.... yours shouldn't be leaking or getting hot either...I would make sure all gaskets are in place and the coil is tight in the base... really like this tank, but I too only have had it for a few days...

If it's getting hot you are seriously chain vaping and need to slow it down.
The reason it's leaking is because the massive heat is probably caused a o-ring to warp.
Stop vaping it for a while then readjust it and make sure it's all nice and tight.Finger tight is fine you ain't got to ratchet it down.It's a clearomizer not a spaceship.

Too hot means your chain vaping which is normal and it should shut off when it reaches a concernable temperature. Are you using quad coils? don't prime them, use max VG and fire it right up at 75 watts or higher and keep fingers crossed the 1st tank or 2. They seem prone to flood upon breaking in. Try the triple coils. The airflow isnt much different.

Do you have o rings installed? Try not filling up to the chimney. It's easy to refill anyway. Let me know how it goes.
