Is that accurate? If so, I made a major blunder on another post. Hmm, 2nd thought maybe I didn't. It's late.

Yeah, I know wikipedia isn't a great source, but it works here. So, according to this nicotine is a 'whole nother non-carcinogen carcinogen'

Need more input!

That would be a catylist. (Contributing device, indirectly responsible for reaction to occur. Wild-growth being the reaction.)

There seems to be a lot of... "We think", "Suggests", and "Might be"... in that "Medical study"... Even going so far as to create a name indicative of the "supposed", activation agent, without even knowing if it is happening.

Now we have nicoceptors... So that translates into nicotine being a dietary supplement now.

Cancer is a DNA-broken cell, that is only broken-enough to be deformed and reproductive, just not completely dead. Thus, the ability to stay alive. Genetics cause cancer, and diets keep them alive once they are ready to break-down. Substances in diets accelerate the inevitable, while radio-activity causes healthy DNA to become broken DNA.

All the asbestos dust from our car breaks, the pollution/smog in the air, the junk-foods we eat, the radiation we live around, the lack of exercise, the numerous pharmaceutical drugs we consume, the chlorine we inhale every day while showering, the sugars we wash ourselves with, the x-rays, the photo-beam shooting directly at our brains (TV), the radioactive mini-ovens and cell-phones and high speed modems, the bleaches we wash our clothes in, the power-lines wrapped around our houses...

But cigarettes are the source of all our cancers.

Sorry, once again, I am calling DR. BS...

I like the assumption... "It must be the nicotine that is causing our radiation to fail." Yes, because radiation which causes cancer, is not curing it... blame the cigarettes.

Tomorrow they will tell us of a PG and VG receptor that causes erectile dysfunction. A special cell designed just for PG and VG, which is in almost every food item from here to China. Now that we use it in electronic cigs.

Awww, come on, Trog - take one for the team!

I just about take a bath in the stuff when I refill carts and dropper bottles with some high-test 24mg J.Creek. Occasionally ingest a bit too when it comes up through the mouthpiece. Never had an issue with any of it.....

Though I'm not sure what caused this midget to start growing on my knee.... :P

I quickly filled a cartridge without paying a great deal of attention with several drops of 24ml fluid. Unbeknown to me, it was an empty cart - no filling - so upon my first big drag I sucked the juice into my mouth and down my throat.

I quickly spat, rinsed, and brushed to remove as much as possible. But within moments, I was headrushed and nearly passed out. My heart was pounding, and I felt flushed. Tunnel vision rounded out the horrible feeling of impending death rather nicely.

I fumbled around, trying to get car keys, purse, cellphone, etc just in case I had to take a trip to emergency care, while at the same time, reading everything I could find on the internet about nicotine poisoning.

There was math involved. I don't do math, even in calm circumstances.

The flushing and rushing started to subside to the point that I didn't feel the need to go to Urgent care, just turn up the air conditioning and put down the PV.

How bad was the reaction? How much Nic might I have enjested or absorbed? How much of the physical reaction was a nic OD conspiring with a panic attack for more fun and excitement?

I did learn a valuable lesson. "Always pay attention." It's so crazy, it just might work applied to life in general.

I dunno - I used to lick up spilled liquid and I'm sure I've ingested more than 36mg in one day. I also chain smoke my vape at least 5-6 hours a day I'm still here aren't I?

Occasionally some of the juice drips out the back of my supermini and I get it on my lips or in my mouth and I haven't gotten sick or anything yet. So the question is : How Toxic is E-Liquid?

Yeah, I gotta watch myself, some of the liquids taste really good (like the chocolate ones, kinda like Hershey's syrup). I caught myself licking it off my finger after a top-off twice now.
