No, that is not normal, so something is wrong.
And it certainly could be overfilling, as noted previously.
What model are you using?
Are you refilling your own cartridges?
Are you using a cartridge modifcation for different filler material?
Yes, it's probably too full. If juice is coming out anywhere, it's too full. Next time that happens, remove the mouthpiece and battery and blow into the battery/threaded end of your attty while holding a paper towel under the other end to catch the juice. Blow through it with your mouth ON the atty like you are blowing up a balloon, not like you are blowing out a candle. Do this until no more liquid comes out then reattach everything and vape away. Next time you top off your cart don't let it puddle on top, if it does, just dab off the excess and I don't drip onto the atomzier coil in addition to adding liquid to the cart. Too much risk of flooding in my book.
Theres nothing wrong with the cart. You are just refilling. It happens to me from time to time. Just be carefull how much you fill.
Most likely over-filling, but could also just be that your "pulling" (drawing) too hard and forcing the juice into the air passages.
If this happens, take the cart off the atomizer, grab a tissue, cover the opening (stuffing end) with a finger tightly, and blow hard through the mouthpiece.
You will see along the sides of the cartridge, that slips into the atomizer, now needs wiping, do again...... and again if necessary, and wipe it dry.
If its filled quite a bit, you can also take a paperclip and put it in the small hole of the mouthpiece and pry the end cap off. Wipe up any juice sitting there in that area, replace the end cap and carry on.
You will find this may be required occassionally when those passages get juice in them, and is really a part of "maintenance" should you also refill your cart and do the required washing/sanitizing of the cart housing.
Also, as a hint when place a full cart onto the atomizer, make sure you don't cover the mouthpiece hole will your finger as you press it on since the pressure built up by doing so will force the juice in the atomizer (possibly flooding it), and those airway passages.
Hope this helped....

I drop till it looks wet on top. Just don't let it pool on top. If it does then mat it with a paper towel. Sometimes I also wipe the outside of the cart if it looks really wet to help stop it from leaking.
You drop liquid slowly until you see the wadding is saturated but NOT pooled on top.
I've found there to be no exact number due to different fill materials and wadding thickness. I'd say on average to refill a used cart anywhere from 4-10 drops, on a brand new "dry" cart anywhere from 12-22 drops. Again, depending on the material density or the amount of material.

Once you get the blue foam to work right (trial and error in cutting the exact size) its perfect.
But once you graduate to higher voltages (as in a mod) you'll find you won't want any wadding in there (like the ZFM cart mod).

But, it's the original filler material, I'd say I'm probably just filling it too much. I'll try to pop the top off and see if there's any liquid in there. I also never thought about making sure I wasn't covering the little whole on the mouthpiece when putting it on the atomizer.
