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.

Hahaha I am the same way, I flip it probably more then necessary but oh well lol.

When I first started vaping getting juice on my lips actually caused them to blister slightly, now though I must have built a tolerance because it no longer causes a problem.

See that's exactly what I'm worried about. Me too with my lips stinging and puffing up for about 10 minutes. Maybe it's my skin a lot too, because if you see my avatar, you see me -- a fair-skinned redhead (no wings though, LOL). But I was wondering if other ppl's lips stung and swelled up like mine do, and I see that it does/did with at least a couple of you.

Since I started dripping, I don't get as much in my mouth as I used to. Maybe I just puffed on it too hard. And I was wondering if my present 11mg juice was something to worry about, but now I feel better (and I'll be cutting down to 6mg soon).

Thanks very much everyone for your replies. I really feel better now.

One ml of juice is equivalent to what.... approx 40+ drops from a small dropper ? So, at 24mg/ml a single drop would be 0.6mg nic (if my math is right.... and it's been a looooong time, lol).

Myself, I vape 48mg/ml lately (stressed & trying to totally convert), and although I ocassionally get a "spit back" when dripping or some on my lips following a refresh, I can't see where either would even equate to one drop.

Sure, I don't like the taste or the slight unpleasant "sting" it gives, but at the most I'll just dab my tongue or lips with a tissue but generally I take a swig of whatever I'm drinking at the time with no ill effects.

I suspect others are more sensitive to it (especially those of fair skin or who may have an allergic reaction to their intolerance), but I certainly can't see it being a health risk worth be concerned about with the nic level.

So no I don't spit, and I'm really uncomfortable saying this being a guy............ I swallow or wash it down !

Guess I'm with the spit and chase crowd. Agree that the nic shouldnt be much of an issue unless you really overfill the carto then pull hard, but the taste of raw juice leaves a little less than desirable taste. So a quick spit/wipe into a napkin and wash it down with some iced beverage that is handy and then back to vaping normally. (possibly after a quick blow to clear excess out of cartomizer first depending on severity of overfill)

Gotta love that thread title ...... great attention getter you got there.
