I am new to this but did alot of homework ..30 year smoker as of this post 27 days smoke free..my son told me to try and as i studied got really into to the rebuildables side..started with kangertechs squonk with a velocity clone as my first...love it love the flavor..then the flavor went out and got dry hits at work...got the avocado 24 really loved it! Same thing..i realized then i work in a very dusty enviroment the dust was getting to my wicks and clogging them..i have had some experience with tanks and never had luck with leaks..i have a ijoy limitless xl and a goblin v3 for starters..my question is what are all the tips you guys can give me them when i start?

A bottom coil tank will be less probe to collecting the dust. But i really don't think there is an atty that will solve your issue.... maybe you should concentrate on preventing the dust from entering whatever atty you use.... close off the air and find a cap or plug for the drip tip....

Thanks honda.. but the tank has solved my problem.. my main problem is leaking.. i need tips on priming the coil?...best way to fill?..and refill?..how long after the first fill do wait to fire?..things that i shouldnt do? There is 1000s of vids do this do that..the kids at all my local vape shops use disposable coils.. they have no idea what im talking bout and then try and sell me cotton and wire..lol..A bottom coil tank will be less probe to collecting the dust.

The answer is trial and error. The answers to almost all of your question will be different for each atty and nearly every Build you do.
i need tips on priming the coil?...best way to fill?..and refill? Depends on the tank. FWIW priming is much more important when using disposable coil, IMO. I always prime the wifes Nautilus and my Mello 3.
Top fill tanks are easier I guess. I am using 2 tanks types right now. My Kayfuns and I just got a Avocado 22m. I prefer single coil builds. One Kayfun is a 3.1 and side fill the others are bottom fill. The Avocado fills though through the wick holes. Not sure how I would fill it in dual coil mode. Needle through the wick, I guess. I use needle nosed type dropper bottle due to the 3.1 and Avocado requires it. I don't bother priming the avocado. I do prime the Kayfuns. Basically I do a few drops in each juice well. Trial and error has taught me, with the droppers I use to do 5 drop on each side. I want to see a little juice leak out into the tank but not flow out, a seepage. Now I don't have to prime the kayfuns.. I could wick it fill it and wait. Priming make that wait a minute or 2, not priming means I wait a minimum of 15 minutes, before firing. The avocado I'll wait till it's saturates itself, 5 minutes or less. Top filling with the Kayfuns is possible, and self priming. But can also result in a mess, flooding and leakage if done, wrong.
The Kayfuns are pretty dust free.. But dust and dirt and lint will get into the air intake holes, which I seal with a rubber band. On the avocado I close the air. For The drip tip, I either use a silicone cap or plugs.... The caps are harder to find, Mostly I just cut up o-rings to make plugs. Or the corner torn off a napkin will work. Never fails I will loose the o ring plug soon after removing it the first time.
So far the Avocado have been leak free. Only done a couple builds far, success may just be beginners luck. It seems to use juice at a rate that I keep checking for leaks. I just make sure the cotton is good and fluffy where it goes through the deck. I know from my old Genesis tanks to fill the wick hole but don't plug it up.. Just like with the coil, really. Although the wick need to be a lot looser in the wick hole than the coil. Also the coil id dictate how much wick you have available to seal the deck. Too small, leakage, too big could lead to juice starvation.

Had a great afternoon of high notes that ended with a low..first bought a smok tfv8 clone a couple months ago when i started building..played around with the ready to go coils.. every time ended with my juice spewing out the air holes ..been surfing this and other forums finding a thousand and one reasons.... finally took all that ive learned from youtube and the things i have seen on here..built a .4 ohm deck ..wicked it like ive seen so many times and followed every step..worked like a champ no leaking..but no taste and killed my lungs..hated it..oh yea if i wanted i could crank up the watts and make the room become a cloud but no flavor whats so ever...back in the box!...o.k.. confidence up..lets tackle the goblin v3..watched 4 vids .. wicked 4 different ways..listen to the young english accent go that said i just cut the wick at the diameter of the base and stuff it..also said screw it im adding the extra top to boot..no leaks! Refilled once already... victory at last!.. my old go to atomizer has been the avocado 24 since ive started this..i lost my first (silver one's)under the top deck little insulater ..no big deal ill get a clone from dh gate and get that one for spare parts ..so bought another authentic one in black....im cleaning it up (took apart carefully on a rag away from the sink)..little bastard stuck to my hand twice but always sit down away...now i go to towel dry all the parts and rebuild a just for home atomizer..go to transfer as i dry parts to another paper towel..ive been crawling and looking in every dark corner cant find this engineering fail anywhere...ive got one clone coming but have two with this insulator missing! Screw u geek vape! Im new to this but this little part probably doesnt cost you 25 cents for a hundred..all i know next time i take one apart .. im running wire through that tiny damn thing then tying it to a concrete blok!
