Look nobody said anything but you, which means your feathers were ruffled!
Again, Have a nice day.

OK, you win.
I wore gloves the first time I broke down my 100mg nic - but now I don't. I have a cookie sheet that I do it all on and paper toweling close by also sink is close by so I do not worry. My Child is full grown and gone so no worries there. <<<my experience 
I think everyone needs to do it the way they feel comfortable - hopefully on this point we can all agree?? 
(And yeah I caught that do not use as a lube statement.)

)Dixie, you hit it right on the head, you started out using the recommended precautions and adjusted to your comfort level with experience. That was the point I was trying to make the other day.
Yes, we can ALL agree on that.
Oh, and my apologies if I upset anyone yesterday, it was not my intention. Every one here is a valuable member and resource, after re-reading my posts, they could have come off a little condescending.

Please stop frighten people too much. Shaking hands are not good when dealing with nic.
Precautions should be meaningful, not frightening.
Have you read the ingredients on a bottle of lube? I saw one a while back -- it's literally one ingredient away from ejuice. PG, VG, nat./art. flavors, and instead of nicotine it had whatever chemical they use to make it feel warm to the touch. I remember looking at it and thinking "I could almost vape this."
I could almost vape this was the thought you had when you reached for a bottle of lube?
You gotta get out more!!!!!!! LOL
Sorry I just couldn't resist

If you take care about what you're doing and are focused and in complete concentration, then that is all that's needed for dealing with 100mg nic, and small spills can be wiped off and rinsed immediately. If you are an extremely careless person, then yes, in that case you need gloves and eye-wear etc.
I never use gloves or anything, but am always fully concentrated and focused on the task and have paper towels to clean up with, at hand...
Gloves, eye-wear and respiratory-gear are mandatory when dealing with 1000mg/ml nic, but obligatory with 100mg imho.

Now, I understand that some people are more sensitive to it than others, but for "science" (quote-unquote), I just put a drop of 100mg nic on the back of my hand and left it there for fifteen minutes (I've done it before, but it was with something weaker, 24mg I think. Since I didn't have any issues with that, I felt confident pulling out the "big guns," as it were. In the name of science, of course.) I did not experience any itching, burning, or redness at the site, and when I licked it off afterwards it just felt kind of spicy on my tongue, like hot sauce but without any real flavor. And since there seems no better place to post these pics, here's what I was doing in the meantime:
Before the bubble-wrap:
Wrapped & bagged, and ready for the freezer:

I wear a special suit as I usually mix when I get up in the mornings so I have my safety pajamas on. I wear safety glasses as without them I would not be able to see that tinny hole to put syringe in. LOL CHEERS!
Well this has been helpful for me so..
I am brand new to trying DIY. I do have critters within the same area, though across the room. So the window being open for me is a good suggestion. And will have the dogs go outside to play while I transfer my nic base. I also thought 100 mg nic meant it was 100%, until my friend @roxynoodle corrected me

Welcome to DIY.
In your case, since you are new to the craft, I strongly suggest that you:
- Wear gloves
- Wear goggles to protect your eyes
- Wear a mask
- Wear a long sleeve lab coat of some kind
- No kids or pets allowed in your mixing area
- Organize your containers and other equipment before you start
- Due the "math" before you start via software like Ejuice Me Up
- Anticipate a "spill" with running water nearby, paper towels, and I also use cookie pan sheets for my counter which contains a spill
- Try and eliminate "interruptions"
- Clean your mixing area thoroughly after you finish
- Clearly label your bottles with all the relevant data
- Take your time
Good luck!
One thing I started doing when mixing, is get the flavors I am going to be using on my mixing table from the shelf they sit on normally, then each time I put a flavor in the bottle I put the lid on and put it up on the shelf in its spot. Then I get the next flavor and do the same thing on down the line. That way I don't get mixed up and forget if I did that flavor already. Hope this makes sense. LOL CHEERS!

Good advice for those just starting with DIY! And even for those of us who've been doing it for a while, though we may not go to those extremes of protective gear, the advice about interruptions still applies -- it's very easy to lose track of where you are in a recipe if there are interruptions.
I've come up with a way to help avoid that situation -- with my ADV, I keep the recipe and mixing in the exact same order, everytime I mix, line them up in their proper order, and as I finish with one ingredient, I move its bottle out of the way, so that only those ingredients not yet mixed are still in the line. It helps a lot to eliminate doubling or skipping of ingredients.

A) Funny, but my nic in the freezer has the same skull and crossbones, bubblewrap and plastic bag as the photo above. Just so no one gets any ideas about opening my nic out of curiousity.
B) Be a little careful if you're removing a glass bottle from the freezer. If there's air inside, it can expand while warming up, and build pressure. A bottle COULD explode...and from what I hear, it's NO FUN getting 100 mg. Nic-in-the-eye. Just loosen the cap while thawing I would think...
