My boy Boomer (Choc Lab) got to one of my cartomizers and chewed on it. Nothing happened to him, but he learned he does not like them and stays away from chewing them.
I also learned something from Boomer, too. E-cigs are good, and if the FDA would use this simple test, they would let E-cigs be!
When I smoked cigarettes, and blew smoke in his direction he would recoil and move away...with my E-cig, when I blow vape at him he just sits there--he even sniffs sometimes. I think if a dog is ok with vape, then it must be way better than smoking cigarettes don't you think?

I've been vaping for over a year and when I try to go down to 24mg I still wanna sneak a cigarette. Might work for you, but that doesn't mean it works for everybody.
it's very possible that your puppy had a sugar drop... give it karo syrup or ask your vet for something if it happens again
Cute little guy! Smaller dogs tend to get the shakes our Pomeranian does it all the time. But like someone above mentioned now your more aware of it and will be more cautious. You'd be amazed at what foods do to dogs! Like chocolate and grapes scary!
I think, in fact the picture is captioned with, this is a "sterile environment".
Its not so much for the protection of the worker as it is for the products environment. Like this picture:

Grape and Raisin Poisonings in Dogs
Recently, there was a letter in the AVMA Journal from Dr. Gwaltney-Brant and others at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center discussing grape and raisin poisoning in dogs. Apparently, grapes and raisins can be toxic to dogs when ingested in large quantities.
The grapes and raisins came from varied sources, including being eaten off the vine directly. The dogs exhibited gastrointestinal signs including vomiting and ........ and then signs of kidney failure with an onset of severe kidney signs starting about 24 hours after ingestion of the grapes or raisins. The amount of grapes eaten varied between 9oz. and 2 lbs., which worked out to be between 0.41 and 1.1 oz/kg of body weight. Two dogs died directly from the toxicity, three were euthanized due to poor response to treatment and five dogs lived. Due to the severity of the signs and the potential for death, the veterinarians at the poison control center advocate aggressive treatment for any dogs suggested of ingesting excessive amounts of grapes or raisins, including inducing vomiting, stomach lavage (stomach pumping) and administration of activated charcoal, followed by intravenous fluid therapy for at least 48 hours or as indicated based on the results of blood tests for kidney damage.
I have fed my dogs a few grapes every now and then for years, so I don't think there is a need to panic if a dog eats three or four grapes but if the whole bunch is missing from the table one day, it would be good to think about watching for any signs of a toxic reaction.

I would take a good inventory of your new puppy's environment. (Any chemicals on the lawn?) Things you may have not thought of before.

I dig, but I think it's a little of both. Do you see the difference in filter masks?
Pure nicotine is extreeeeemly poisonous. A small amount absorbed through the skin can kill you. Accidentally inhaled?
Don't want to know.I also don't know in what concentrations it's purchased or what solution it comes in to the suppliers but my guess is that it comes to these labs FDA certified pure. (98.9% or something)
The better production labs shoot for never letting any of the basic ingredients come into contact with the ambient atmosphere or humans.
Everything is handled within a closed system. I don't know if that includes flavoring.

Yeah, I hear ya'. Nicotine IS very dangerous. Especially in a lab atmosphere with high concentrations. (It might be like making ricine, IDK, I can't imagine how something like ricine could be made safely.)
But, still, those look like those cheap plastic masks. I have a nice industrial mask because I was sick of those cheapo masks. I apoligize for nit picking about the masks (getting off topic), but I've spent time in those masks and hated every minute, grrr.
The closed system might as well prove your point.
