babies and vaping

[LukeTheDuke]

iam not sure if this is the right forum ta ask about this,

iam not new to vaping quit analogs a year ago,

recently i have a new baby girl, shes a month old,

iam not stupid or an total idiot, i DIY my own juices, i know how dangerous nic consentrate is, i say this as iam not here to get flamed or frowned upon... iam asking about this as iam SUPER PARANOID and dont want to bring any harm to my babygirl

SO that being said, i wash my hands like 50 times a day as sometimes i feel as if there maybe a juice residue on my fingers... and kisses i refrain from kisses because iam afraid there also maybe residue on my lips from vaping...

i vape alot throughout the day, my PV sees heavy use...

so am i worrying TOO much here? my baby is healthy and well a baby... i see nothing wrong but i just REALLY am paranoid i feel for good reason but then again, i was others opinions on the matter at hand as extreme care for babies and vaping should be an everyday thing...

so am i alil crazy? overly cautious? or need to sleep a lil more and not worry so much?

thanks for your time and opinions on this matter,

I have a 6 month old, myself, so I understand your worry. I also DIY all my liquids, and wash my hands frequently, though that's more because I work in the restaurant business. I only use Cartos and Tanks, so, barring leakage, there's very little chance of getting the liquid on my fingers or anything.

My DIYing time is set up for when I won't need to touch the baby, and I don't touch him when I'm filling or handling the bottles at all.

As far as kisses go, well, unless you're getting a mouth full of juice frequently, there's no problem. Depending on what level of nic you use in your liquid, a few drops shouldn't be a problem, so whatever residue could be on your skin wouldn't even be worth thinking about, most of it will get absorbed into your skin anyhow.

I vape 10mg, so I would have to have a pretty good sized spill to cause any problems for my son.

At any rate, be cautious, but don't be too paranoid. The amounts that you're concerned about aren't worth being all upset about.

Hope this helps ease your mind a bit.
