LOL. That would probably last you the whole day.

In the 18mg "high camel" smoke from totally wicked it contains <3% nicotine, and >65% Propylene glycol, and <10% water.

I highly recommend ordering from Wicked and you can actually see what is in it. And the packaging, shipping time, and everything is very presentable.

Lethal measures of nicotine are expressed for ingestion, not transdermal absorption. Some on your skin won't kill you -- unless you have unusual sensitivity.

But here's something to really think about. In the U.S., toy parts can't be small enough for a three-year-old to swallow. Ever see warnings on boxes to that effect? Now, take a good look at the cartridge for a mini cig. My penstyle cart is fine; it would choke me. But a mini? That's a size a child might swallow. And that tiny cart can easily contain enough nicotine solution to be fatal.

Question for suppliers? How would a first responder know if a child had swallowed one of your cartridges? And if a box was nearby, does the box clearly state that deadly nicotine levels are inside your carts? No? Well, they should be remedied then before government forces this valid issue.

Fantastic point Bob. I personally keep all of my e-cig devices, liquids and carts locked in my office drawer. Better to be safe than sorry.

Another good reason is for us pet owners. Dogs and cats love to play with little plastic things as well. Could be lethal to them also.

I'm pretty sure trog tried this some time ago, and he's still alive

He did. And he is.

Trog is indestructible, nothing would knock him out
