I don't want my atty to go dry, so I check for the amount of juice left. Everytime I do this, even though I make sure it's completely plugged in....it leaks like a bugger ! I've got juice all over the battery and mouthpiece. This has happened several times. Is there a way to check the juice level without this happening ? I've sucked in raw juice a couple times...this can't be good ! HELP !

If you're using a Type A or Type B tank, you can see the juice level from the outside without taking anything apart, but I assume that you're using the older cartridge type with the filler. It sounds like you're over-filling it. With a cartridge, you can tell it's about to go dry by the taste and the vapor without taking it apart.
Leaking can be a problem with either the A or B type atty. Vicki at Cignot.com tells me that if your juice is real thin, it can leak around the wick cap and then out the bottom of the atty. You might try thickening up your juice by adding some extra VG. The VG juice is a lot thicker than the PG juice.

I have both a type A and type B so instead of constantly checking to see how much I have left, I just flip it upside down so that I see how much juice is left in the cart. Also when filling the cart, try to leave a small air bubble. If you completely fill it up without leaving a little bit of space, that'll cause it to leak every time.
Check the level by NOT pulling out the cartridge, but instead keep it in the atty and turn the whole unit upside down.
You're exactly RIGHT. That little bubble is a must have and definitely prevents many leaks.
