I just bought this vape, I have never really owned one before but I'm trying to quit the cigs some. Well the v8 was recommnded to me for easy use and yes while it is easy to use all my juice is leaking out of the air holes. I don't know really how to work on this. I thought maybe it had something to do with how I was holding it or possibly a low batter but it' on the charger now and is still leaking. I don't want to end up breaking it on accident to fix it, but I als9 don't want to bother the guy at the vape shop if it's just a easy fix I can do on my own. Can anyone help me out please?

Take the tank apart and clean it. Don't clean the coil, save it if not used much. The tank and coil both have sealing o-rings so inspect those closely for a blemish. If found replace the ring or if on coil replace it. Put it all back together being sure that all the threading matches and nothing is crossed including the coil. Go slow and make sure it's going on smoothly and very hand tight. If replacing the coil make sure it's primed up good inside and out, after its installed. Juice the tank about 1/3 full and let it soak 5-15 mins. Give it a couple easy pulls before firing it.
"Easy" is subjective. Is it hard to push a button till it says 15w? Or another button till it says 12w? < I'm being facetious.
They probably just sold you the stick without explaining some options.

I used to have a lot of problems with leaking on many different tanks, and finally figured out that I was just drawing too hard for the way my airflow was set. Try to ease up on your draw a little and see if that helps.
I agree with Vape Fan and I would try both of these options, but have one thing to add. Those V8 stick tanks are alot like the baby beast tanks (only smaller). I have a baby beast tank that would stop leaking no matter what I did (it was my first set-up too); I thought it was poor quality of SMOK. I bought got a new baby beast tank and havn't had it leak once. My point is that it may be the tank, no matter what you do.
