After underextruding, we now enter the era of bleeding and overextruding!

I am an owner of a Ratrig 3.1 400. About 6 months ago I had a failure (no pic) with my Rapido hotend. So I thought time for an upgrade with the toolhead v1.0. Bought a new Rapido 2 too. (Bought 2 but that was my mistake. Anyway) tried to set it up but no luck. Massive underextrusion. MASSIVE. Just could not make it work. After a test print I came to the shop to find this. (Pic1) Replaced the whole thing and had another exactly same failure. I cleaned the first blob and put every thing together with new cables on the thermostat and ceramic heater. Ever since the change I have an extreme overextruding problem and the nozzle cannot keep preasure in the throat. (Pics 2&3) It drips if I try to heat it up. Oh and retraction does nothing at all. Also (and this is really weird) the temperature on the nozzle rises really slow... I calibrated every thing but to no avail. Any thoughts?

I've only got one rapido 2 but its been printing hundreds of hours with no issues. Not sure what to suggest other than tighten the nozzle properly, maybe verify that the heater is reaching the correct heat
