It gets absorbed very easily through the skin. The lethal dose is .5 to 1mg per KG of body weight so a 190 lb man would need to absorb 45 to 90mg of nicotine.

I'm not saying it doesn't get ingested easily, just that it has to get separated from the other eliquid ingredients and survive saliva and stomach acids to be absorbed, so that slows things down so you would need to take a lot to harm you (like 100drops of 24mg liquid to kill you). What we take in by accident from the cartridge is what... 2 or 3 drops, maybe? Pure nicotine is a different story and I'm sure a swig of that would kill you quick!

That makes sense. Saliva and stomach acid would probably break a-lot of it down. And the e-juice is certainly far far from being pure nicotine, so I certainly am not worried about a couple of drops here or there. But I'd definitely not say that it would be safe to ingest a whole 10ml bottle... Maybe someone can.. but I certainly won't :)

Definitely not!! That's like a 3 or 4 day supply of juice. I read once that the nicotine in a pack of cigarettes would kill you instantly if you got it all into your system at the same time.

I know I said 10mls would only get you nauseous before, but I was just trying to make a point for the posters who think they will die if they get a drop of liquid in their mouths... I know that it would probably get you very sick if not worse!

Thanks for keeping me on point, THE, it forced me to look up some stuff that I've been to lazy to do. I get a real kick from playing with and figuring out the numbers and amounts. I need to start doing more of that again.

At least it gave you something interesting to play around with.. some numbers to crunch all up and everything

When I get juice in my mouth, I'm quite the drama queen. Since it is classified as poison, I spit the juice out in a kleenex, wipe my lips, then run to the sink and rinse my mouth out four times. Is that really necessary? Will it give me sores on my tongue if I don't spit it out? In one post a couple of months back, I saw where a guy puts a drop or two of his e-juice in his coffee, LOL. Just curious, as I don't recall seeing it mentioned. Please and thank you.

You ingest it into your lungs. Why would you worry about it getting on your tongue? A tiny bit won't hurt you.

This thread deserves a bump.gif



P.S.
With a title like THAT on a thread I just couldn't help but click on it to take a look see. LMAO!

I have nothing to add except a quote from an old girlfriend. " If you love someone.... Swallow."

Damn.... I miss that girl. :rolleyes:

What's LOVE got to do with it?? Besides, some of it tastes yummy... <wink, wink>
