I just want to make sure that this is normal - upon refilling from the top, I flip it upside down, wait for the eliquid to drain, close off the AFC and flip it rightside up, remove the top cap. When I remove the top cap, ALOT of bubbles come from the bottom and cause leakage. Is this right or am I missing something?

I've never done it that way. I don't turn it upside down before I close off the AFC. I close it when it's right side up, take off the top cap and fill it up. When the top cap starts to thread on for a few turns I then turn it upside down to drain before I open the AFC, and turn it right side up again. No leaking so far doing it that way.
Yes. If a lot of bubbles come up you didn't close the air/juice flow. That shouldn't happen until after you fill, replace the top cap, open the AFC/JFC and then turn it right side up.
Yeah, there is a pretty big juice well there that needs to fill up. Should be a fair amount of bubbles after turning it right side up and opening the juice channels. Maybe because I use the bottom fill method. Every thing except what is already in the wick has drained back into the tank. Then - POW - turn it upright and it really bubbles as it goes back into the juice well.
After burning a couple of hundred ml through mine, I have to give this thing two big thumbs up. I bought it for driving/bedside use (and to give a nod to Roxy as I knew it would be good with her hand being involved) but it even gets carried around at work occasionally. The only time I've had any leakage was due to alcohol induced user error around a fire. It easily ranks in my top 3 tanks I've ever used quite comfortably in the number 2 spot. I'll give it some time to see if Roxy and augvape come up with a version 2 and will likely either pick one of those or another v1 up just to have.

I think the only con I have for the Boreas is, since getting it, I don't want any new toys lol. I look at all the other new RTAs, and say "ehh, why downgrade?"
After full review, I say this tank ties the Aromamizer in function. The Aromamizer wins overall as it is just so darn simple to use. I said it before, the Boreas is really an over-engineered Aromamizer.
I also agree, anything else is a downgrade from those two. This will be my last tank, unless a real new technology type of "game changer" comes around.

My two Boreas tanks have taken up permanent residence on a couple of RX's. I'm totally in love with these beauties. My other RX has my Griffin on it. Sorry to say, I haven't used my MT since my first Boreas arrived. It wouldn't bother me if every mod I have sported a Boreas. I'm just thankft that I don't buy premixed juice!

i have plenty of wicking material and am getting some leaking after filling. initial fill i do the 1/3 of 1 hole open method they recommend. i've only done 2 fills like this so far. no leaking. but then re-filling the tank, i've gotten leaking pretty much every time. nothing crazy. but probably 10 drops if i had to guess.
is this happening to anyone else?

I can't remember the exact procedure listed in the manual, but I do the following with no issue:
-Turn it upside down with juice/airflow open to let the juice drain back into the tank for a few seconds
-Shut off juice/airflow
-Turn right side up and fill
-Start threading the cap and flip it back over while finishing tightening the cap
-Open juice/airflow & take a couple of toots to re-establish vacuum
-Turn it upside down with juice/airflow open to let the juice drain back into the tank for a few seconds
-Shut off juice/airflow
-Turn right side up and fill
-Start threading the cap and flip it back over while finishing tightening the cap
-Open juice/airflow & take a couple of toots to re-establish vacuum
