Shop accidentally sold me a Ni200 coil 0.2 for my arctic tank instead of BTDC 0.2 coil. I have X Cube 2. I have never used TC before. I indicated NEW coil, I set it on TC, nickel coil, 0.006, double coil, and I think I like around 500+ F. Not sure if I set this up right, but I know coil is screwed in tight. Juice is leaking into air vent part. Can anyone troubleshoot why?

Perhaps you over primed the coil, or you over filled the tank. A o-ring could be displaced or worn out.

Possibility of over priming and/or over filling tank, but it has actually leaked almost all of the juice from the tand now leading me to believe there is an actual leak somewhere. I don't know where an o ring is on this tank :/

Well the only thing I can tell you, check that it is screwed together tight, if yes and it still leaks, the coil could be the culprit check the o-ring at the base of the coil. Unscrew the coil from the base and check the o-ring at the base of the coil, it is easy the loose that little thing. If you still get leaks, replace the coil.

Okay thanks. I will completely disassemble and clean and see if I can stop it. The shop may just give me a new one because it was their fault selling me the wrong one haha

I've had the same issue with the Crown Ni200 coils. Crank up your power, to decrease ramp up, and turn up the temp to 560-570. I found that I wasn't burning off the juice fast enough to keep up with the wicking, also I had to not leave any room for air in my tank, so that the wicking was slower.
