Well the good news is i use 6mg but still worried i read an article about some lady that had contact with liquid and ended up with cardiac arrest. So i am a little freaked out and thinking i should just go to bed and calm down.

Oh lord - did you read that on the internets? Or Fox News? lol

A 6mg/ml solution is nothing. It's especially nothing if you did what you did - rinsed it off almost immediately after exposure. You only need to start fretting if you are handling 50 mg/ml or higher nic base used in DIY.

I would bet most of us have had leaky tanks or spills that resulted in e-juice on our hands. I use RBA's and end up with eLiquid on my hands every time I tear them down to clean. The amount of nicotine in eLiquids is not toxic if it comes in contact with your skin. This is very different than concentrated nicotine liquid that is used to make eLiquds. The concentrated nicotine liquids can be toxic if they come in contact with your skin.

I get e-juice on my hands almost every time I fill a carto (clumsy is my middle name and if I don't have my glasses on, I don't see all that well either, LOL). I also have swallowed some juice here and there. I have l lived to tell the tale and seriously all I do when I get it on my hands is wipe them with a paper towel because it is sticky. I know you will live!!!

The media needs to chill with the twisted eliquid stories. The media's about to get punched!

Never happen

Good news doesn't sell.

It's the bad news stories and graphic images that keep the masses interested. That's why the media likes to over hype everything.

Watch CNN. It happens on a regular basis

For real. Now new york is proposing a ban on eliquid in the whole state due to nicotine stories and bogus poison control calls. Ive spilled plenty of 24 mg on my hands before and licked some off before washing them. Literally nothing happened. Its the diy 72 and 100mg nic that could be harmful and should be handled with care... just like one would do with acid.

Thanks everyone. I can't sleep but I have calmed down. I feel kinda silly now but I suffer from anxiety and that scared me for a bit. I don't have a headache or feel sick. I decided to change the battery to only realize all my batteries are dead so now I am waiting for one to charge a bit so I can have a haul and then call it a night.

Dead batteries on top of the spill! If I were you, I'd call it a day too!:unsure:
