Adversarious1

Welcome!  You are in luck.  This one of the friendliest forums I've stumbled into.  Lots of folks here with a lot of great experience.  Quick note, I'm not one of those folks.  I just started one month earlier than you.  But like every enthusiastic newbee, I still like to share what I think I know, lol.  
Regardless, great choice and again welcome!

Leakage is actually an issue that can arise with any tank, not just the "Beast" line.  Atmospheric conditions, drastic altitude changes, VG/PG ratio, coil priming method...all of these can lead to leaking.  I have Baby Beasts and Cloud Beasts in my daily rotation and, with the exception of the occasional extra warm day or trip to the mountains, I don't have any leaking issues with any of my tanks.  They both have their advantages and disadvantages over each other.  The Cloud Beast has a larger capacity, but the Baby Beast is slightly more convenient due to its more compact size.  They are both workhorses and I really wouldn't rate one better than the other.

Give me a minute to pick my jaw up from the floor.  It immediately dropped upon learning @Tamis pulling the trigger on a Baby Beast.
The only coils I've used are the T8 (.15 ohm) and the Q2 (.4 ohm version that comes pre-installed).
Both coils provide a nice balance between flavor and vapor.  The T8 coil has a slightly tighter draw than the Q2 and as a result, it is easier to mimic the MTL style you prefer.  And yes, even though it is a sub ohm tank and is meant for DTL hits, it is possible to MTL with this tank.

There's a Baby Beast in my VT store cart and I'm wanting to get extra coils for it to put into my order. If I'm looking for a good combination of flavor and vapor, which coil would you suggest? I'm looking at you, @Adversarious1 although any and all recs are welcome!

I'm the exact opposite from @Bebop.  I tend to stick to fruit based flavors as my ADV's and occasionally mix it up with the coffee flavors and "dessert" flavors.  To this day, more than 2 years after I started vaping, one of my favorite ADV's is the very first one I ever tried and is from a local shop - Lemon & menthol. 
I do get "vaper's tongue" though, no matter how hydrated I stay.  When that happens, I will typically switch from berry to citrus or vice versa for a few days or I'll vape something pastry or dessert flavored for a couple of days and that will usually take care of it. 
Other than that, I have never been able to find a single juice that is my "be all, end all".  Not even that very first juice I tried.  In this case, the only thing I can think of is that, while your taste buds are working again, it's possible you may be confusing the heck out of them with all of the different flavors you're throwing at them.

I don't know if I can help you.  I've never been able to all day vape fruit flavors.  I totally enjoy them as a short switch, but they quickly cloy on me.  
I've tried using a little sweetner in my mixes.  No success there.  And I despise overly sweet store bought juices.  Even things like root beer and licorice I love but only for a few short stretches to break up the day once in a while. 
I've had some success mixing a tiny bit of fruit with other more savory flavors.  But it has to be only a hint.  This was most true when I was still vaping tobacco flavors. 
Ive grown to appreciate more subtle savory flavors for my ADV. Coffees, caramels, vanillas, nutty flavors.  For me they stay more constant throughout the days.  

Thanks!

As you may be able to tell, I'm partial to Smok. Loved the TFV8, saw the GPriv and had to have it, wanted the tfv12 but couldn't justify it so I just ordered stuff for my TFV8, but then I saw the TF-RBTA for $10... and I wanted a vape with true side airflow... and the same seller had the TFV12 RBA Edition which then brought my order to free shipping... And Bam I'm buying tons of stuff. Amazing how that works lol

I feel like the rotation of those 3 Smok tanks on the Smok GPriv (black w/red) are gonna be SWEET. And with the new tank's stock coils, plus the new TF series coil heads for the 8 AND the staple staggered fused Clapton coils... Excited to say the least

Glad I already own a Bazillion different types of juice... Cuz it's gonna get Vaped!

Or make sure you vape with your off-hand and leave your gun hand free at all times.

Well I broke down and bought a rebuildable tank. Rip Trippers Pharaoh and some premade coils and cotton. Wish me luck :D

*Sniff* Smells like Spam to me. Eva you work at a factory in China
 

Zero nic makes mixing a LOT easier!!  Congrats on hitting that Zero mark!

I'm with @Bebop.  Every drop of flavoring is meticulously counted.  Milliliters of PG, VG and nic base are painstakingly measured in a tireless effort to achieve the ultimate vape.  Except for that whole Zamfir, thing.  I prefer something a little more up-tempo.  Zeppelin, Sabbath, perhaps some Jethro Tull or perhaps if I'm in a reflective mood, some Joe Satriani or Eric Johnson.   Yanni, maybe...but NEVER Zamfir.
Oh...and the only thing I use a highball glass for is...well...a highball.
Just wait until you start pairing your juices with your favorite adult beverages, @Walt.  It will open up even more doors, options and ideas than you ever thought possible.

Vai, too.  And Gary Hoey.

What? You'll do some Satchmo  and Eric Johnson but no Steve Vai? Whatsamatter witchoo?

My head is spinning from everything I am learning at present, lol.  Tull works for me.  I was thinkin about locomotive breath when I fired up my Goon.  "The Wizard" goes through my head while I'm mixing.  "Everybody's happy when the Wizard walks by". 

It's ok Cany. My daughter called me all excited. She was 35 at that time. "I get the second hand!" She said. "I always thought it was the third one. It counts the seconds!" I was speechless.
