I've just got my thermowell for my fermenter, should I fill the well with liquid first (H2O, oil) then insert the probe, or use it dry?

I use mine dry,I would be afraid the liquid would kill the probe eventually.

It's likely the point where the probe connects to the cable is not water-resistant, and should not be submerged in liquid. Use it dry. As the inside of the thermowell never comes in contact with beer, it does not need to be sanitized, either.
I figured I'd get more accurate reading if I had liquid inside the thermowell instead of air.
