Just came up with a great way to stop the ego from leaking around the Atty/battery area... Slip a 3/8" neoprene O ring around the battery threads! Screw the cone down on it and it won't leak! You can increase your juice volume and not worry about it dripping out onto your fingers. .59 part at the hardware store.

It would still leak, but it would be contained inside the cone, correct? Once you unscrew the cone, all that juice would come out. Unless I'm wrong...let me know.
This may not work for everyone, especially with all the varying atty brands and eGo battery brands themselves. It most likely will have a negative impact on the draw of the atomizer by covering the air holes above the threads on a 510 atty.
Also, you shouldn't be dripping that much into an atty that it is constantly leaking. My guess is that the amount of liquid you're dripping in is too much for the atty to vaporize properly. This causes the excess juice to heat (expanding a bit, causing some of the extra leaking). The hot juice is bad for the coil over time. This is why attys get very hot to the touch, the excess juice is retaining the heat.
I would say use at your own risk...though there doesn't appear to be much risk, other than less than desirable performance and shortened atty life.
