which model are you using and on what battery? Inferno or Magma?

and are you looking to just fix the juice in the battery or how to prevent the tank from leaking like this?

My tank is also leaking right now. Five minutes after I got it in the mail, the rubber O-ring on the top popped off, and somehow that seems to have caused massive leaking when it's off. As soon as I put it back into place though it was fine, and I haven't had any problems up to this point. Now it's leaking out of the bottom of the atomizer onto the battery, which is obviously not a good thing. Granted, the tank is almost empty at the moment. I'll try refilling it to see if it helps. I'm running it on a inferno kit, and the juice I'm using is volcano's pure nicotine with a few (1 to 3) drops of American e-liquid stores menthol-mint to balance it out into a nice menthol. I've been doing this for a few days now and haven't had any leaking problems until this point. No doubt it's a great product, and hopefully I can figure out the cause of this spontaneous leaking problem. I should also note that it seems like the carto somehow got flooded. I haven't filled up the tank since this morning, so there's no way I could have accidentally dripped too much juice into the carto itself, as I've been vaping it all day, and any excess juice would have been vaped by now.

edit to add: Refilling it fixed my problem almost instantly. I'm not sure if it relates to the OP in particular, but it worked for me. I'm not a physics major, but I'd reckon it's due to the vacuum created by the tank. Perhaps when the level of air in the tank is gets too great, it begins to force juice out, which would explain why my carto got flooded and why it leaked out of the bottom. Now I'm not going to lie, I had a few shots tonight, so this is drunk science and is probably completely wrong, but either way, it kind of sucks that the carto will leak when I'm low on juice. it's still a good product overall, I'll just have to remember to keep it topped off.

Edit again: well I was wrong. The tanks only a quarter of the way down and seems to have left a sizable amount of juice on the battery. This is quite the pickle.
