are you filling it at the bottom? if u do, avoid covering the airflow holes while at it.
I use the screw fill hole it comes with, I'm pretty sure it's the v2, the thing works great all day when on my box mod sitting up right but if it ever goes sideways for more than 5 minutes it leaks all over my mod and scares me because it's the BAP DNA40 and I don't wanna fry it or anything. It seems like when the juice channel gets exposed to air it loses pressure? Idk if that's right I just can't figure out what else it could be and seems like if that's the case more people would have similar issues but I appear to be the only one lol. Thanks for the reply, I'll see if I do that on my next fill up.
in that case, it must be due to the wicking, try to cut the wick right at the edge of the inner deck (where the chimney screws down)

I've had the same issues with my Orchid V4. I found that you HAVE to experiment with coil position and amount of wicking position. Seems for thicker mixes (70/30 and 80/20), the coil should sit low on the deck and no cotton in the channel.
I may be overfilling it too I'll try to put less in and see if that helps. When I fill it I leave an air bubble on top but when I flop it it looks like it's 100% full, I just assumed the top air bubble is in the recessed part of the top cap because it must go somewhere when flipped.
Ok thanks guys I'll try messing with the wick, is the kayfun lite 2 piece chimney compatible? I only have the one piece so maybe when I put it on the wick moves. Physics-wise it's just a 4 channel kayfun right? When you take a puff the air pressure change in the chamber allows juice to flow into the channel and into the wicks? So if you cover the wick hole too much you will get dry hits but if you don't it will allow too much juice and flood?
i personally believe only orchid v2 chimney is much shorter than all KF designs so the top will leak if u over turns it.
i have no idea bout wick hole but as long u have the right amount of wick on the 4 juice chamber (perhaps just a tiny bit stickin down) then will not cause blockage hence "dry hits" and always keep ya air hole on the deck clear of wicks preventing floods.
also, try filling it 1/2 to 1/3 so that the air inside can pressurize the juice to ya juice chamber.

Ok thanks, I have the infinite version so the air holes are raised so that's why I'm so confused, the only way it could flood is if there's massive amounts of juice. Not just extra from taking too hard of a pull and too much juice coming in that's why I figured it's a pressure loss. I'll try to put some wick in the channel because maybe I'm allowing too much juice to flow by not somewhat blocking the channel.
no worries buddy, we're all on the right track to being a veteran vaper 
Oh and theres one more thing about orchid where you can adjust the amount of juice flowin through your juice chamber,
ex. if you like takin short puffs but the juice isnt reachin ya wick quick enough, what you can do is get a single chopstick thats thick enough, insert it at the top to unscrewin the chimney inside. works for me
