you need to fill it from the bottom or it will flood... take it off and turn it over and take the screw out and let air get into it through the screw hole. screw the hole back up put it on and it should stop leaking
Tear it down, clean it up, build a new coil, rewick it, and carefully put it back together. Works for me on the rare occasion mine gets leaky. One thing I've been doing lately is slathering my o-rings with pure VG (from WalMart, but e-juice will work too) as a lubricant before putting things back together. It makes them all nice and slippery so I get a nice even seal when I tighten things back down.
My 91 was constantly leaking all over my Vaporshark. I found one the smallest o-rings i think I've ever seen laying on my desk under some papers, don't have a clue where it came from. Slipped it over the fill port screw, tightened the screw down and haven't had a leak from the ol' 91 in over a week......although i fill from the top now for fear of compromising that o-ring and having to find another somewhere. Truth be told, filling from the top seems just as easy,if not easier,to me than filling through the fill port.
Yeah, it's most likely 1) a wicking issue,. If not, then the next likely hypothesis is 2) an O ring issue (check that little one that sits on top of the chimney) or 3) something is not properly tightened. If there isn't a vacuum holding that juice from flooding the chamber, you're going to leak all your juice out in no time.
As others have said, if you fill it from the top, you're going to have a mess.
As far as wicking goes, I have the opposite problem--too much wick.

I had a brand new clone leaking. juice was flowing out of the vent hole. I watched a youtube video that stuffed the cotton down into the wicking vents to help slow the juice from coming up to the chamber. Worked perfectly. I cannot find it now, but I did a google search on "russian clone leaking"
