Mine is level 2 at the moment and I like to put it behind one layer of wall. Town hall 7's seem to like to pick on dark elixir drills and it is easy to get dark elixir stolen from it when attacked with barch.

alright well thanks for the advice guys
I usually put it behind one layer of walls, but I generally get attacked within 10min of logging off, so it doesn't really produce that much. I guess it makes sense to protect it deeper if you are planning to be away for a longer period, but otherwise just leave it out like you do with mines/collectors.
You're welcome.
Usually, I get sniped very quickly after I log off and I empty my drills before I go. So usually, it'd have no more than 120 if I get sniped within 30 minutes. So I lose, 90.... vs the 2600 I have available for raiding if a non-sniper finds me? The thing is though, with 2600 available DE, that sniper doesn't know exactly how much is in the drills. He could be thinking he's in for a pay day!
This makes more people willing to snipe me...
It makes sense to sacrifice the 90 DE (i think I've been sniped as much as 250 on a high average - a few times I lost 800 but that was because my shield ran out in the middle of the night and the drill was getting full) but either way, it's better than losing from my storage!
