Eye hits.

[ctourtelot]

Dude, last time I used a damn syringe I took a bath in juice, I swore off the syringes, my wife thought I was a crackhead with that thing anyways, even my kids thought I was the guy in one of those after school specials.

I use syringes all the time, but this was one of the little 10ml bottles that you can attach a short blunt needle tip onto. The juice was too thick and the pressure caused the entire top of the bottle to pop off. I never that that problem with syringes lol.

Eye hits were caused by the smoke, usually from the 'side-stream' smoke; the smoke coming off the cigarette itself. No side-stream vapor, no vapor eye hits

juice in the eye is a different beastie

Lol dude not a joke the juice was soooooo hot i was runnin round the house fell on the floor was rolling around....my kids 1.5 yrs and 2.5 yrs old was cracking up so hard they turned red and coukdnt breath....note to all do not take the drip tip off and put to your ear and fire it up at 6v. Such a badddddd idea

"Eye Hits" are definitely rare with vaping, since the vapor isn't nearly as irritating as smoke. That being said, I have a tendency to use a lot of menthol in my juice (Exclusively DIY). I remember being at work, messing with my hardware and got some juice on my fingers - then my eye started to itch. I didn't even think about it, just rubbed my eye, and quickly realized I just rubbed my eye with menthol and nicotine. It was painful and my eyes watered, to say the very least.

Other than that, it takes a breeze in the face and a huge hit to give an eye-hit. It can happen, but nothing like when I smoked menthol anologs and would try to let it just dangle from my lips.

i totally forgot about those awful events until i read this thread. so glad i don't have to worry about that anymore.
but i have noticed as well that if i have a particularly menthol'd juice, the vapor in my face feels a little "fresher" than usual.

Yep, I also have done the wiping the eyes with a bit of juice on them and OUCH!

lol I just got one... was blowing out a tip too close to a towel and juice sprayed back into my eye. Very little, but it burned. Went away quickly with a few tears.

I had a bad one last week. I was filling a carto with a needle tip bottle. I squeezed too hard and the top of the bottle flew off and I got a good sized splash of menthol in my face. It took several eye rinses to get the sting out and my eye was red for awhile afterwards.

No permanent damage done though but I've learned to be careful about peering into the carto while I'm filling it.

Your Avatar image looks like it is getting DOUBLE EYE HITS! : o LOL

But I'll never tell what got in it's eyes

 

[VapourMonkey]

i had e-juice shoot me right inside my darn ear!!!!! it hurts bad atleast at 6v it does

well i was testing to see if the carto was dead so i was listining for the sizzel and WHAM right in man....

LOL sorry but that's funny because it's something I would do. It's the vaping equivalent of looking down a hosepipe to see why the water hasn't come out yet.

No eye hits here. Yet!

I remember once I was driving on a two lane road with no shoulder and dropped a cigarette between the steering wheel and dashboard. Even better, that area was filled with foam which you know..is great to mix with a cigarette cherry. Anyway, here I am, driving down the road freakin the heck out, trying to get the cigarette back out, while driving, with the smoke rolling, thinking I'm gonna have to pull over and let the car burn from such a dumb accident.

Lesson learned, never hold the cigarette in the hand you held the wheel with.

I think the type of eye hit you're talking about here is impossible with vaping (which is great because I used to do that all the time smoking for some reason. But ejuice in the eye is very unpleasant! I got some in my eye somehow (I'm that clutsy) and it burnt like hell for about 10 minutes.

The move "planes, trains and automobiles" came to mind reading this post, when John Candy dropped the cig cherry in the backseat. Steve Martin retreiving his 'charred' wallet was priceless.

GREAT movie, but glad you didn't suffer the same consequence he did! LOL

 

[Jim Bob]

Very good movie and I admit I had the same thoughts

Good recipe for "eye hits":

Pilot sunglasses. Bit of a breeze blowing in your face. That "large smog" from the hit goes in between your glasses and your face.

Que laugh track.

I've been vaping quite a bit lately and it could just be that my contacts are going bad, but my eyes have been pretty dry feeling (been doing french inhales, smoke rings/tricks, getting lots of vapor in my eyes) and one of them are red. Clear Eyes fixes that though.
