You sure you're not overfilling it? It's very easy to get juice down the chimney if you're not filling with a needle bottle, or if you fill it up too close to the juice holes in the bell that goes over the top of the coil. I always wipe out the drip tip and chimney with a Q-Tip after filling just in case, and rarely have that problem.

What wattage are you vaping at?

Vaping at anywhere from 40 to 70 watts the higher i go the worse it gets it seems
I wasn't very impressed with the .6 ohm dual parallel coil that it came with. I didn't like having to vape at that high of wattage, couldn't get much out of it below 50 watts, and didn't like how hot the tank got. I switched over to a .5 ohm Atlantis coil, and it's much better, and doesn't sputter/spit nearly as bad. You might want to give that a shot.

I got what I think was a counterfeit coil at my local shop so I tried a .4 ohm Triton coil. I have to play with the wattage depending on the ratio of the juice but I like it so far. MUCH more airflow than the Herakles coils.

My herakles tank used to spit when I first got it. Now I never wasted too much juice with it spiting, it was very annoying. I stopped using the 0.2 coil, and switched to the 0.6. Also things like; just getting used to the tank, how to tighten it, how to fill it, how to clean it, etc. I no longer longer have that problem, but I do vape on a jellyfish. So I don't know if that is the difference or not.

Also I've never put any other coils in my tank, but the real coils will come in a foil package that says "sense herakles" on the back side

I have the same tank, only time I had issues was trying to get an RBA for another tank to work.. If your not over filling, I would guess you have a bad coil. Make sure it is snug, if it is, it's probably bad. If anyone has found an RBA that works, I would love to know.

That's what I'm saying , once I got used to the tank and how it fit together, I never had issues. And no, sorry I don't do RBAs
