Find my post if you don't want to spring a leak on your tanks, I have multiple post with pictures on the Sxk BB thread.. good luck!
TGIF, Have a good weekend guys....
Thanks Bad. Took a bit of searching but I tracked it down. Like you said there is a whole bunch of discussion about that issue with several different suggestions. Too much to take in right now but I saved the link so I'll start working on it.

I love the vape I get from the Xeta but it's always been a struggle. Nice to know there are ways of dealing with it.

Here's a tip that I want to pass on for any one with one of these Rekavape clones or the OG for that matter. The positive post on the mod has a nylon washer under it while the OG has a silicone washer to prevent liquid from seeping into the mod. At first I was going to replace the nylon washer with a silicone one but came up with something I thought would be even better.
A small dab of dielectric silicon grease under the washer.
Soon after when I first got the mod I found juice around the edge of the screen and inside under the button panel.
Applied my fix and have not had any problem since. I just now pulled of the front panel to check before posting this.
The may be useful for use with other mods.
Pictured is the mod with screw and washer removed and then assembled using dielectric silicone grease under the washer. The silicone grease will not run and e-liquid can't get past it.
Juat a repost for those that need it.

    I blame the switch from bottom fill to top fill. Bottom fill worked just fine.

    Top fill causes a slight pressure instead of a vacuum at the top. Thus, flooding is likely until a vacuum is created.

    What I do is to top fill, button it up and flip the boro upside down. This causes what bottom fill did. This releases the slight pressure out the wicking since air doesn't flood the coil. Even if the boro is so full of liquid and it is at the wicking. That's ok, since the pressure is lighter at the top and more at the bottom. Air is still better.

    Wait I dunno 15 seconds to a couple of minutes depending on the tightness of the wicking and the thickness of the juice. Should be fine now.
    Must admit I didn't really understand the theory here. This morning the Xeta tank was almost empty, I filled it up and sat the BB upside down with the back panel on. Left it for about 15 minutes. When I picked it up the inside was dry as a bone and it still is.

    thanks Bill

    I fill my boro tanks out of the mod. I prefer a boro with sliding glass BTW. When finishing filling I hold it in a napkin or paper towel with the top down and with a "slinging" motion expel any surplus juice. It works for me.

    I hope some of you were able to score some of those rare collb Odb battery wraps.. it's definitely worth taking a look at..
    My package seems to have disappeared over the little pond between the UK and Norway.
    So right now it's no
