Jester.. you got it.
When looking at a drop of 50 mg e-liquid, you're looking at a material that's 50 mg/mL in nicotine (or there's 2.5 mg of nicotine in that drop of e-liquid).
Compare to pure nicotine, you're looking at a material that's 1,010 mg/mL in nicotine, (or there's ~ 50 mg of nicotine in that drop of pure nicotine).
Also, with e-liquid, the matrix itself (the propylene glycol) shields the skin from the nicotine since PG apparently does not absorb dermally, thus the active transport of nicotine does not occur as it would with pure nicotine.
I'm not going to say a drop of nicotine on your skin, quickly washed off is going to kill you. At the very least, it's likely to be enough absorbed rapidly enough to make you quite sick.
A drop unnoticed might kill you, but that drop very likely will kill your kids and pets since 1) they're smaller and 2) they're probably not smokers, so they've got zero tolerance.
Also, if you have difficulty with the concepts of mg/mL and dilute solutions vs concentrated chemicals.. you doubly shouldn't be fooling with this stuff. Funny how those with the least training and expertise are the most eager to get hold of this stuff.
Go here and think about it if you're having trouble getting rid of the pure nicotine bug.

To whoever decides to go first,
Good luck with customs, good luck with DHS, good luck with everything. If you become the FDA's deceased poster-child for "why e-smoking must be stopped!", you'll have done your fellow vapers possibly irreparable harm.
FFS, you can buy 500 mL of domestic e-liquid concentrate at a sane ~5% nicotine concentration for under $200 (and keep away from kids and pets even at 1/20th full strength!) A 24 mg vaper would be set up for a year on this stuff, and outlive the liquid rather than the liquid outliving him.

Even a 10% solution of this stuff is going to be equivalent to e-liquid at 100mg strength, I believe. Be very careful -- I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

...Holy crap that makes the stuff I usto work with when I was dealing with drug addiction seem tame... Hrm.... what if you worked with it in let's say a workbench in ones garage/shop and immediately cut it with VG or PG then took careful precautions to make sure no trace was left on the bench (drop sheet, elbow length gloves, yada yada)... hrm... I was never trained in handling toxic substances but I learned a few things over the years... if I decided to try to work with this stuff what would you folks recomend as far as inital safety precautions? (This is in theory though chances that I'll want to work with the stuff are slim. I'd prefer work with a less potent product, screw saving a few bucks if my garage can be turned into toxic land from any residuals.)

a 10% solution in what buffer is the question - if it's in anything but USP PG (and you trust the company to actually use USP PG), then you're just burning money. There are already (albeit more expensive) stateside sources for pure nic+USP PG solutions up to 75mg/ml, why gamble with your life over a few bucks and the hope that the chinese company you just sent money to actually cares about quality?
Edit: Jeb, if you need to ask that question, you have no business dealing with anything this toxic. The answer to your question though, at the *very* least, is a glovebox and fume hood. On top of that, you need 100% certainty that there is no trace contamination on the outside of whatever vessel you're putting stuff in, and a way to handle any spill cleanup. Accidents will happen, spills will happen. 1ml of pure nic is 1000mg. It only takes 50-100mg to kill an adult human - thats 1-2 drops, with rapid dermal absorption. In handling a pg-nic solution, at the strongest strength I've seen (75mg/ml) it would take roughly .75ml to 1.5ml (15 to 30 drops) to reach that lethal dose, the PG retards the dermal absorption - so you'd basically have to drink or inject it.

I would imagine it's PG since the use for the product is listed as "10%-99% Nicotine liquid from Tobacco Extract Slight yellow oily liquid for producing E-cigar smoking, E-juice, quit-smoking". But yeah, you'd need to know it's grade and be confident the supplier is reputable.
And yes, there's strong enough mixers available through normal means. Or there's bulk orders from central trade or somewhere similar.
There's no do over with this stuff -- one mistake and you're out.

I just don't trust the Chinese when it comes to liquid. Every single chinese 'tasteless' liquid I've tried has the same bitter beer aftertaste and is damn near brown. The 7.5% I order from bliplabs here in the states has no such taste and is almost entirely clear. So the real question is - why is their stuff brown?

Their stuff is brown because it's either terribly oxidized or not particularly cleaned up from the extraction.
I wonder how careful those guys were to get all traces of organic solvents out of the mix?
Yep, the 40 and 48 mg I have from domestic suppliers are crystal clear.

I don't think some people actually understand how dangerous pure nicotine is. I honestly know very little about it, but I knew it was dangerous as all get out. Did NOT know about the dermal absorption properties. I knew like a drop to your lips could kill you but I did not know it could be anywhere on your body.
