I've seen many posts here about the Zeus X flooding and spitback. I'm dealing with that now. As far as I can tell I don't have a defective unit with the gap in the manufacturing on looking at it, but it's still flooding like crazy. Last night I built it and packed it with as much cotton as would fit, and it worked fine until it sat overnight, now it's flooding again.

Has anyone figured out how to build this without it flooding? If I tip it over it just drains out of the top air holes.

I loved the original Zeus and had zero problems (which is what led to me buying this, since I can't find an original Zeus in stock anywhere now), but I'm really regretting this one...
