First, a helpful tip when filling a cartomizer. Use a wood tooth pick to plug the center air hole. This effectively plugs it from excess juice getting in and needing to blow it out after filling the carto.

Add some juice, then shake it like a thermometer. This is the "drip & flip" technique. Then add some more juice. Flip it again. Continue these two steps until the carto's filler will hold no more juice, before it begins to just pool on the filler. It should appear like a slushy drink.

It never hurts to "top off" the carto now and then with more juice. Never allow the carto to go dry. It will burn the filler. And you'll never get that burnt taste out of the carto; it will be ruined.

Also don't worry about getting it on your hands. Just wash them if you do. You would have to get ALOT on you and then wear it around for hours for it to hurt you. If you get too much nic your body will let you know. It will be that same nasty nic sick feeling you get when you smoke way too many cigs. Some people report a headache as well. Many of us thought the same thing starting out. Congrats on making a healthier choice.:)
