I have had this problem before, the orings that seal against the carto gets damaged and allows air in the tank so when you suck on the carto it acts like a straw and sucks to much juice into the carto.

The video has been removed. I don't know exactly what wildarmtins was referring to, but I agree with Jasonlowe about the orings. They don't last forever.

I had an issue with them flooding when I started using them as well. I never really figured out a fool-proof solution, but I did notice that when I was out-and-about or stressed somehow, I would draw harder on it. So I learned to regulate my drags so that I wasn't pulling the liquid straight through.

Sometimes I could blow the excess liquid out through the bottom, but only if the tank hole was plugged by pushing the carto down a bit, or emptying it.
