apparently there is a "person" who ingested 1500mg of nic and survived.... when i called this as bs i was ridiculed... it was apparently just cause to throw caution into the wind when handling 100mg/ml nicotine............ Interesting no?
I've swallowed a "large drop" of 100mg/ml nic in VG before, in the name of science. First I left it on the back of my hand for 15 minutes to test for any potential skin irritation -- none was experienced -- after which I licked it off. It was kind of "warm" on my tongue, and fairly "spicy." Like store-bought "medium" hot sauce levels of heat, but without any actual flavor. I estimate I ingested about 5mg of nicotine, in total (assuming 1 drop = 1/20 of a ml, at 100mg/ml). I experienced no ill effects. It's hard to say what 300x the dose might be like, though.
We also don't need to make it appear more dangerous as it is either. Safety matters, yes. Don't store your juice where kids/pets have access and handle it properly.I don't think this is something we should dismiss, or put any message out there that indicates 'it's not that bad', or 'the dangers are overblown'.

The dangers of physical contact with high nic concentrations has a lot to do with a person's physical condition to begin with. If the person is older, or has had a history of cardio vascular issues, there's more danger than a person who is young and healthy.
I've been making all my own juice for nearly 6 years, and I still buy my nic base at 48mg/ml. I'm not comfortable handling higher; because I'm older, and have a history of cardio vascular issues. It's one reason I quit smoking and took up vaping in the first place.
