I always used 70/30 juice in my Zenith and never a flooding problem at all with coil or tank.
Make sure you you don't Over prime your coil before putting it in
One of the first coils did and I tried to compensate by having the fill port barely closed. Or you can try leaving it wide open until you sense some drying.
Posted my issues with the Zenith in a different thread and someone suggested I also post it here. I won’t repost the entire thing but I seem to be getting a lot of juice in the vape.

I think all suggestions have been made. Not much else to do but inspect the tank well during disassembly and see if there is something missing or the glass is broken up inside. Something that could be breaking the needed vacuum.
Give the longer drip tip a try as well as suggested by others, mine has always had a long tip on and never a problem.
Also make sure you don't over prime your coil, I put 3-4 drops on my coil(just enough to cover the cotton well) and let the coil sit for a few minutes then put in and fill the tank
Boy, how folks differ! Lol, I use a short fat 810 type tip with the air wide open @8watts. I soak the daylights out of the coil by a full immersion followed by a good blow-through. Different strokes...Give the longer drip tip a try as well as suggested by others, mine has always had a long tip on and never a problem.

Are you blowing into the drip tip, like a reverse dry puff? It's normally a good way to get juice into a coil but Zenith coils flood very easily doing it. The juice will then run down the inside of the coil and come out the bottom into the base ring like in your pic. It will also be sucked up into the drip tip or your gob. Drawing too hard could also cause it but I don't see it really in your case with multiple air holes open. I suck on em like a mad man with the smallest hole partially closed, with no flooding.
No, not blowing into the tip at all.
I’ve altered my draw strength about as much as I can until it feels like I’m not drawing at all.
It’s getting better now since I’ve gone through a few tanks of juice. Maybe the coil just needed some breaking in.
I really like the design of the tank and tightness of both coils, so I may also go ahead and by another pack of each.
If that and all the other suggestions in these threads don’t work, the guy at my local shop said to use a Nautilus tank but he was out of stock and told me to check back tomorrow.

When I first got my zenith and kroma kit both of the coils that came with it flooded badly. I was ready to throw out the tank until I got some new coils and it has worked great ever since.
Hi Btseagle. I'm quoting your OP from your other thread because I'm not sure where to respond. Anyway, I did some testing on both my Zenith and Zlide tanks. I used all three coils (.5Ω, 1.6Ω, and .8Ω.) and played with different wattages. I used 60 and 70% PG juices (I can't vape high VG). I couldn't get any leakage, seepage or even condensation in the drip tip. I'm stumped. A little bit of condensation in a drip tip, especially when it's hot outside, is OK, but not juice in the mouth or slurpees.
You say you just got your Zenith tank. Is it still under warranty? You may have gotten a dud. There clearly is a problem with your tank. Both of mine worked flawlessly straight from the box. I suggest you contact the vendor and Innokin and describe your issues--include pictures. I think they need to send you a new tank. They also have a subforum here, where you can ask them directly.

Good luck!
Before you buy the Nautilus...have him demonstrate how to Bottom-Fill it...
You'll run screaming from the shop...and be QUITE satisfied with your Top-Fill Zenith...no matter how much it gurgles...
(Still think you're first step should be trying another coil from a fresh 5-pack)...

I didn’t know the Nautilus was a bottom fill so I’ll pass on that.
I’ll pick up some more coils and go with that for now. If not, I’ll then go the warranty route.
Hmmm...may have found part of my issue. The attached photo shows part of the rubber gasket from the fill lid exposed...white rubber sticking out below the ZE of Zenith. Hadn’t noticed that before. Not sure if it plays a major role but I think I’ll be going that warranty route sooner than later.

It's like when I was a kid and we had a Black & White TV...NOBODY knew it was a "Black and White" TV...(until Color TV later appeared on Earth)...
I had multiple Nautiluses...and never thought twice about having to remove it from the Mod before doing ALL the other steps to refill it...
Then I ran across the new-fangled Zenith...Twist => Fill => Vape...Heaven...
