howdy and welcome 
Is the cartridge correctly attached? Are the o-rings undamaged and seated where they should be?
The shop may be able to fix it. It doesn’t sound like a design issue. Might possibly be a manufacturing issue, but most likely an attachment issue. There are a few bad coil designs that will do that. I don’t remember any of them being on the EGO AIO. I’ve also never owned one though. Others may have more specific data.

Hi and welcome - I've never used a device like that, but I do second the idea of going back to the shop for help.
Just a thought - how is the battery?

Getting e-liquid into your mouth while vaping (spit back) is usually caused by "flooding".
Clearomizer Troubleshooting and Tips:
"Flooding" is a common occurrence in e-cigarettes. The definition of flooding is getting juice into the air passage of the tank. This can include any point between the mouth piece and the very bottom part that connects to the battery. Each tank has holes in that air passage, where the wicks passthrough. This is required for the device to work properly. Unfortunately, this opens up the possibility for flooding. The trick with flooding, is knowing how to avoid it. I’ll explain a little more, but a few common causes for flooding a tank include: improper filling, over filling, pulling too hard when hitting the device, and the temperature can even play a role and/or damage.
"Dry" or "burnt" hits are also a common occurrence in e-cigarettes. This happens when an inadequate quantity of e-liquid reaches the coil, or more specifically the wick. This can occur from using an e-liquid which is too thick for a tank, intake holes in the coil for the e-liquid being inadequate, or using a bad wick or coil. Doing "primer puffs", which is taking a puff or two without power on, may eliminate this phenomenon.
Before I get into the explanation, let me explain how an e-cig works a little more in depth. Nearly every tank has a wick that is used to absorb the juice in the tank. This wick cuts through the air passage. Each wick has a piece of wire that wraps around it in a coil. When you activate the button on the battery, you send electricity through the wire. As the wire heats up, it vaporizes the juice that is in the wick.
Improper Filling: When filling your tank, you have to be careful not to get juice into the center tube of the tank. This center tube is the air passage. When you take a draw, air comes from the bottom of the tank, through the air passage and into your mouth. If you get juice into this passage way, your tank is flooded.
Over Filling: If you over fill a tank (specifically a top coil like the ones that come with the starter kits and gift boxes), the wicks can become over saturated and just like a rain cloud, they will leak into the air passage. Once this happens, you have a flooded tank.
Pulling Too Hard: As I mentioned the wicks absorb the juice in the tank. As you pull on the device, you cause a vacuum effect that pulls juice into the wicks. If you pull too hard, you can pull in more juice then the coil can vaporize. If this happens, the juice leaks into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.
Temperature: E-Juice is a viscous liquid. Which means that as it warms up, it will thin out. And in the opposite form, it will thicken when it gets cold. When it thins, it is more difficult for the wicks to hold back the thin juice. This usually causes the wicks to over saturate and, you guessed it, it will leak into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.
Damage: There are o-rings and gaskets used that can wear out with usage. If certain ones fail or get lost, leaking will occur, in turn flooding the air passage and causing you to have a flooded tank. Other than accidentally losing something, damage can occur when its carried in a purse or a pocket or by over tightening the tank to the battery. Over tightening is a very common cause of leaking due to the damage it creates.

Welcome to the forum. Bad's post is a great tutorial for you. Is the device firing - producing vapor? If so, you can try to clear the cartridge by dumping the juice back into the bottle, unscrew the carto from the mod and then blow (after wiping the cartridge off with paper towel) through the top of the cartridge with a paper towel at the very bottom to catch the juice coming from the air inlet. You could also try the shake (popping a whip) while holding the bottom of the cartridge to clear the center tube. If everything is in its proper place, it sounds like you are flooding by drawing too hard, your liquid is thin allowing juice to pass through the wick without being vaporized by the coil.
