Am I going to be alright?

[reprisal3]

I was just out of the shower and filling up a tank. The liquid was coming out slowly, so I had to squeeze a little harder (30ml bottle) After squeezing harder, the top popped off and about 15ml of 18mg juice splattered all over my arms and chest. I immediately hopped in the shower to wash it off, but I'm still worried because of all the talk about nic being absorbed through skin. So am I going to be okay?

I think that if you were going to see an effect it would have happened by now. You feel okay?

 

[kwalka]

I think with the level of nic, and the fact that you got it off so fast, there wont be a prob. I'm by no means an expert, just my opnion.

 

[reprisal3]

yeah, I don't feel bad. perhaps just a little nervous.

You would have felt an effect within a minute of it. The skin on your arms and chest is tougher to penetrate, absorption happens quicker on membranous tissue, such as your mouth, lips, inside your nose, etc...Fortunately it's pretty hard to spill a large amount in any of those places!

But, do yourself a favor, and order a few droppers or syringes.

Just about anything that's vapable is going to be fairly safe if you get it on your skin so long as you don't slather a thin coat of it all over your body or spill it all over you clothes and then leave it there all day.

Of course, that's for Adults. For kids and pets, even a small amount of nic juice can be dangerous. So make sure to clean up any spills quickly and thoroughly if you have kids or pets around.

I've spilled all over myself b4 u will be fine I just wiped it on my pants lol

 

[ChinMullet]

so...did you survive?

 

[reprisal3]

hahah, yeah I made it. Good to know about the other tissues being less absorbent.

 

[reprisal3]

And just to clarify, I didn't really have any ill effects. I showered and washed it off quickly. Didn't really feel any effects except worry.

I was filling a cartomizer and was blowing in to the threaded part (Some juice leaked out and was caught in there).

Shot the liquid straight into my eye. Burned like crazy! Eye turned very red.

But, about 10 minutes later, it was fine.

Hurt like a ..... though...

If you washed it off promptly then it's definitely OK. The nicotine can't be absorbed in a matter of seconds.

So are you still around to talk about it? did you have any wierd signs or racing heart, headache, dizziness, etc? Curious minds want to know.
