Leaking Vaporiser? All Vaporiser leak!. Here is the solution.

Liquid dynamics make the liquid climb up to the opening (air inlet) when already wet.

Clear all the liquid out of the chamber air inlet, by blowing INTO the inhaler (in reverse) and catching all the liquid that comes out of the air inlet with paper towel. Then it should be good to go again without leaking, if not you may need to blow harder or also leave it for 8 -12 hours upright.

Instructions should really come with vaporisers. I almost gave up before figuring it out.

Welcome to ECF!

With a BCC, it's better to blow through the BOTTOM of the atomizer (holding it upside down). This prevents drawing even more juice into the coil.

is this true for rba's like a kayfun as well? I have been holding or orchid upside down and blowing through the drip tip. would it work better if I blow through the airholes instead?

Not a good plan with a Kayfun-type!
The kayfun relies on a slight vacuum, created when you draw, to pull the liquid from the tank to the wicking.
If that vacuum is broken, it leaks out the airholes and makes a mess!
If you HAVE that kind of leaking, you need to check all the o-rings, and ensure the thing is airtight - then, if anything, you could SUCK on the airhole - not blow in to it - but you might get a nasty taste of liquid...
If you're sure you've got a seal, you can also just slip a bit of tissue in the airway to get any previously leaked juice, then do a hard draw to recreate vacuum. Also might draw while COVERING the airhole - to check that you're airtight.

Others may chime in with Kayfun tips that differ...but that's what's worked for me.
