Could be your wick is extended too far out the top of the torch...The heat from the flame is drawing the fuel up the wick and the exposed, non-burning, part of the wick is allowing the fuel to run down the sides of the pot before it get to the flame...I would try pushing the wick back into the pot leaving just enough exposed to burn...

Id thought that same thing too... because the instructions that came with it said no taller than 3/4" but I did them all at 1/2"... when I had only one doing it I figured I might have mis-measured.. so tried pushing it down further but even with the shorter wick it still does it...
