Do you ever worry about your kids?

[MamaBearPaw]

I find myself paranoid with my vaping gear/juice. I even ordered a locking case to start storing my juice in. Currently I have it on the top shelf in my fridge and since my little ones are still very little, I know they can't access it.

My mods are all up on a high shelf in the kitchen too, where I can reach but they can't.

Still, I worry about it night when I think about how dangerous the raw juice can be.

My kids are grown, but I have small grandchildren who visit from time to time. I have a spare bedroom that can be locked. I keep all kinds of craft supplies, etc in there, and have always locked it when they visit. When I know they are coming, I stow all my vape stuff in there, too. I mostly have my MVP in my hand, and don't sit it down where they could get it. When I smoked, I didn't put my cigarettes down either.

I'm glad to hear that you take this seriously where your children are concerned. My family made a little fun of me when my kids were little, because even then I kept lots of things literally "locked up." I've read too many horror stories about children drinking cleansers, etc. Mine was all under lock and key. I was sometimes appalled when I would visit friends and see the things they left out within reach of their kids.

Better to be safe than sorry. You wouldn't want them getting into your bleach or Draino either. Always keep chemicals, medications, e-liquid, alcohol, and other potentials hazards locked away from children. Kids get poisoned or burned from chemicals all the time, unfortunately. Even places like the garage you have to be careful of since a lot of people have gasoline, weed killer, and pesticides too.

I am glad I am not the only one that takes preventative measures. I really don't "think" they would drink the juice, lets face it, it tastes like ... lol. It may vape some fruity delicious flavor but the raw juice is just harsh and gross!

What worries me is just skin exposure. I didn't even know about the dangers of that until recently!
I should mention I have a few obsessive thoughts from time to time and this seems to be a trigger.

That is VERY true. I try to instill that into my kids too. Ie: DON'T EAT OR TOUCH etc.
Ugh the peril of being a parent. The stress is just killer.

My little one is far from little anymore, but in the far past......I had every cabinet and door locked and inaccessible EXCEPT for the pot cupboard and cereal cabinet. A little noisy and messy sometimes but it kept 'em entertained and ignoring the locked areas.....

 

[^Top-Shelf^]

I have a 1 1/2 yr old that is constantly finding new ways to get things off of the higher places where I keep things. I just bought one of these for my vape gear. It's an insulin case from walmart for $10.


I'm also considering one of these neat little boxs for my gf who still smokes as she sometimes leaves her purse in reachable places

 

[MamaBearPaw]

OK that insulin kit is the neatest thing I've ever seen. Hot damn!

Invidious subject there d00d!!

Many of us are sensitive to the whole "what about the children"

But I don't have kids, so can only say it's really cheep to get a lock for any single cabinet. Home Depot sells hinged units for padlocks.

ROTFLOL....you miss the point, with kids you need locks on ALL the cabinets.......kids can get in anywhere, and in less time than it would take some safe-crackers.

The few times i've gotten e juice in my mouth, it actually tasted good. Perhaps it depends on where you get the flavours from? ^^

Wow! What an wonderful idea of getting a insulin box!
I've been trying to find some nice storage for my stuff and i don't like using a tacle box.
I'm definetly going to buy one of those.

Edit:
Imagine when/if you're drunk and for some reason forgot the code on the box and you need to refill e juice, oh the horror!

Edit2: What a bummer, can't find em anywhere in sweden. Apparently ppl with diabetes can get them from the manufacturer. Well i'll keep googling, perhaps i'll find it somewhere. Or a E-shop that ships to sweden for a resonable price.

You are so right about that. Here is a true story for you.

My daughter has 7 children. Her middle son is autistic, and brilliant in some ways, like autistic kids sometimes are. She got a combination padlock for her kitchen DOOR as her house has two stories, and, well, you know kitchens. The lock was installed at the very top of the door. Her autistic son was about 7 at the time this incident happened.

She locked the kitchen, dashed to the bathroom which was upstairs. Was gone no time at all. When she got back to the kitchen door, the lock was securely in place...and her son was sitting innocently on the couch, eating an apple.

Wait a minute, the apples were in the fridge! Then, she heard his two younger sisters talking from inside the kitchen!

Unbeknownst to my daughter, this child had memorized the combination, and watched her spin the lock. He had pushed a chair over, unlocked the combination, let his sisters in, and got apples for all of them. He left the two girls sitting on the kitchen floor with their apples, closed and relocked the kitchen door with the combination lock, moved the chair back, and went to the couch to eat his apple!

She got a new combination lock and made very sure he was not watching to see the combination when she used it.

Do you ever worry about your kids?

Nope, because I saw all this coming. When my kid was little, I filled his baby bath with progressively stronger nic juice. His skin got a little leathery but that just means he had rugged good looks by age 3 and is permanently artificially tanned. By the time he was 7 he could hold his breath for a minute and a half in 48mg liquid. His mom was a little ...... at first because he'd run around like a maniac for 30 minutes after but then he'd fall asleep for 12 to 14 hours and she was all like "It's so quiet! I can finally take a shower and sleep!"

She was a little more upset with my teaching how to field strip a Glock when he was 4 but that kid can take out a raccoon at 75 years off handed now.

I have 2 in college and one 10 year old son at home. All my kids have been told how not to touch this stuff, but its still locked away. I'm very careful because I also have 2 dogs and a parakeet. Better safe than sorry. I seen on the news where a puppy chewed his owners ecig cartridge and died from nicotine poisoning. The vet said the puppy was just too young to live through a high dose like that. It was sad, but it shows we should be careful.

Yea if you're a dog owner you should definetly keep it safe away from them.
Even when they're trained to not chew on something, they can still do it on rare occasions.

I admire you all for considering your children's safety. Considering how tasty many of these liquids smell, it wouldn't take much (especially of a higher potency juice) to make a small child very I'll...and also not in a small child's favor, the smaller they are, the more likely they might be to ingest something that smells good. If I had little ones in the house, things would be under lock and key at all times.

On the other hand, all of us here survived childhood...your kids will, too.
