100mg nic spill

[fullerorb7]

so uhh my friend just spilled half a liter of 100mg/ml nicotine on my carpet yesterday and put a rubber mat on top.
about to rent a steam cleaner and until then, i was wondering if this is bad to breath in my room air?
i know, dont touch it.

Open windows and dilute the spill would be my suggestion, wear gloves soak up with paper towels, then add water to the spot and soak up more, this will dilute the mg you are dealing with. You could put paper towels down then a garbage bag on top and walk over the spot to keep away from the Nic. Then use the garbage bag to dispose everything in.

great advice @bnrkwest
I wanted to add. I am sure you have thought about this fullerorb7 but Please keep kids and pets away from the spot until it is cleaned up.

All of the above.
Then eject friend.....

If you do happen to get any skin contact please rinse with cold running water, not hot. Hot water speeds absorbtion through the skin.

If it's a not too big carpet that you can move, you can either throw it out or put it outside and rinse it with a hose.

If you can't move the carpet, dilution with water is definitely the answer! Open all windows and all fans!

im not understanding why a lot of people trip out about this situation, i have a 100mg/ml liter of nicotine that i use for every bottle. literally every bottle, even 10ml's.
ive never used gloves or any protective gear, and just about all i do i wipe the sides of the liter when juice gets on the sides.
im pretty sure it has rubbed off on my fingers a few times, and ive never noticed any irrataion, and most times i just wipe my hands on my ejuice towel... sometimes i wash them if its a considerable amount that i know wont just wipe off.
is my skin just not sensitive or is there something i dont know.

I would dump about a gallon of water on the area and massage it into the carpet, then sop it up with a towel, using rubber gloves. Whatever you do with a spill like this, Don't just fire up a shop vac and start vacuuming up, you will disperse whatever you spilled into the air. If children or pets are living in the house, I'd consider replacing the carpet and cleaning the flooring beneath the area before new carpet is installed.

All of the Above.

I would also Recommend that you wear something to Protect you Eyes. Even a Pair of Sun Glasses is Better than Nothing.

I would be ...... at the friend lol

this is why i don't play around with nic concentrations any higher then 36mg. One i don't need alot nic strength anyways or it makes me sick and two... accidents happen. I would certainly save money buying the higher nic concentration but it's just not worth the hazards that can come with it for me. The experts say you should be fully geared up before coming near concentrations of that level....go figure.

Do you have a shop vac. Most can vacuum liquids. If you do - dilute the area with water and then use the shop vac to clean it up. You can give the carpet a proper cleaning when you get the carpet cleaning machine.

What experts? For "pure" nicotine, yes. 100mg does not need a full hazmat ensemble, nor does it need a fume hood.

didn't say they needed a full hazmat suit, but 100mg is nothing to mess around with without proper gear. The poster can do their own research on what experts say about handling that high of a concentration and make their own mind up on the seriousness of this spill and handling that high of a concentration. Not going to debate you on on the matter i know what i have read and we each can take that advise or leave it.

 

[retired1]

Ahhh. One of those "I read it on the Internet, so it must be true" things.

No problem.

 

[zoiDman]

So munch for Friendly advise I guess?

 

[celticluvr]

I don't DIY (yet) but I'd rather be safe that sorry.

 

[sawlight]

Ahh yeah,

it's really disturbing that some on this site time and time again deny that there are danger zones related to vaping..this is so true with anything in life..moderation is true with anything and vaping is no exception. Playing around with 100mg of nic in one's living room is irresponsible and stupid practice. A DIYer should know better and down playing the dangers of 100mg of nic in such a way should be shamed upon not down played. If you are playing aorund with 100mg you should have proper gear and work on a clean hard surface....period....not in someone's living room.
