I just noticed today I have a juicy switch. It doesnt leak out but it does worry me that juice is getting in there somehow since it "seems" to be sealed with the glue (I guess its glue). I couldnt get a qtip in there or anything so I blew on it and it comes out for the most part. Seems like juice but its mostly black. Im not sure why its black but is it anything to worry about? It doesnt sound good but Im not really good in the specifics of small electronics. My wetbox does leak a tad else where but Im not sure from what because the bottom of the box where the bottom of the juice bottle sits is always a tad wet but then I feel the bottle itself and it doesnt seem wet at all. Also where the needle goes in leaks sometimes but anyway sorry this is a little wordy. Just looking for some advice or whether or not its a problem to have a leaky-ish switch.

A leaky switch can kill it. I've heard the new ones are sealed but I can't confirm that. Some people were making a paper towel grommet to help soak up the juice. Just type 'wetbox' in the search bar, in the upper right. If you can't find it let me know and I'll find the link.

Thats what I did and have not once got wet inside. Works great!

I searched for it Turbo but I could not find it so it would be great if you could link me. Really appreciate the responses by the way.
