Default Why is it we are so afraid to touch the liquid, but we will inhale it?

I am not trying to be controversial, it just dawned on me today. Can someone please explain so I can put my mind at rest? Cause I am vaping a lot! But good thing is I am down to 2 cigs a day when I am normally a pack and a half a day.

Thanks!

touch/spill the liquid in large amounts yes .... taking an inhale at .01/.02ml per inhale ... much more dosed down ...

ok, so getting a little on my fingers and wiping it off, or a little in my mouth and spitting it out isnt supposed to hurt me right? Good.

What does happen if it did spill a lot on me (hasn't happened, and will hopefully never happen).

I have gotten some in my mouth from cart. and have licked some off a cart from overfilling. Doesn't taste that great, but no ill effects of any kind.

I did something wrong last Sunday and I was proper ill for 2 days. I must have swallowed/touched some of my 24mg e-liquid and I felt like I was watching a robot version of myself going to work, interacting with my kids, drinking beer etc. all from the comfort of my living room!!

It was a horrible experience and I would not wish it on anyone.

Be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people would pay for that experience... Not me boy! Thanks for sharing the bad experience. It should be a reminder to us that we're handling poison which is quite toxic in high doses/concentrations (but pleasant in metered doses ).

That doesn't make much sense for e-liquid.... especially if you didn't notice getting it on you. I have touched a lot of it.(36mg) and someone here dumped 30ml on their pants. Yes you should wash it quickly or get out of those clothes but if you're not sure you touched it, I can't see you getting enough on you to do this.

I'm not saying it was or wasn't the case. It just doesn't really add up IMO

I must have ingested it but the symptoms were awful and very strange. I have had no other problems in the last 30 odd days.

I get soooo tired of scare threads about this and that. We have all been getting liquid on our skin for months and I haven't seen any reports of someone growing a third ear. I think there are quite a few hypochondriacs on this forum. Which is ironic considering everyone use to SMOKE!!!!!!!!!

Rusty, anyone who's gotten even a small mouthful knows it when it happens, and if you touched enough to have a problem I can't imagine you wouldn't have felt it or at seen an overturned bottle. And what you describe isn't typical of nic OD symptoms.

All sorts of things can make a person feel oddly out of sorts. Whatever happened, I can't help but doubt it was the ejuice.
