Refilling carts - safety considerations - Page 2 - E-Cigarette Forum

I've got a little one too, which is the primary reason for my concern. Sounds like basic precautions are all that is required for personal safety, but I'll continue to be paranoid at the house.

Thanks everyone!

i must admit that I'm pretty careless in this department. i have often dripped liquid onto my hands and I just wipe it off without any ill effects. i'm an anti-hand-washer. haha.

however, i did have a somewhat similar situation to Satire's. Since I often get the liquid on my hands I once scratch my cheek (on my face) and it started burning like crazy so I quickly rinse my face and it was gone within seconds.

The skin on our bodies is very different all over. The palms and soles have skin cells that no other part of our body does and provide a lot more protection because of their frequent use. Satire, you were brave to intentionally rub liquid into your eyelids. That's one of the thinnest skin layers on the body. I think the main problem I had was that I removed the dead skin cells on my cheek when I scratched it, exposing fresh new cells that had yet to harden.

So, I wouldn't be overly concerned with getting liquid on yourself unless you have an open wound or abrasion. And obviously if you have kiddies around take care.

Well, I'm another one who has spilled it on myself continually - fingers, hands, legs, etc. I've never taken any major precautions and most times just wipe off any spill with whatever is handy, sometimes even my shirt sleeve. I've used 18, 24, and 36 mg at different times. And I've never had a problem.

No kids around, so that is thankfully not a worry for me. The only thing that I do worry about is my dogs, who grab and chew anything at all within reach. So I religiously make sure to keep my stuff very high and way back on any surface it may be on!

I have been going as far as using nitrile gloves when refilling and wiping the carts as best I can before placing them in the atomizer with even more wiping. I thought the swollen eye thing was just me but for the last few days my eyes have been swollen and a little crusy in the morning. I've only been using for 4 days and it's a pretty consistent event. Can't be a sign of anything good.
