Funny story.. I was working Saturday at home in the office and I was vaping on my passthrough. My brother came in and I stopped workin' to talk to him. I was kind of mindlessly swinging the passthrough around by the chord while listening. Next thing I know the ejuice flung out of the bottom of the carto directly into my eye, I had just filled it too..

idiot move, went to go wash it out and it got worse for a few minutes but then the pain went away. bro called poison control for some reason.. He told the woman what happened and she apparently was trying not to laugh while she advised to flush it out with cold water, don't rub it, and leave it alone. Good news is, won't blind ya or kill ya if you get it in your eye.. not enough nicotine to get poisoned. I already knew that, of course, but figured it was worth sharing in case anybody else ever does anything as absentminded as I did.

cheers,

I knew that crazy lady in the Target parking lot was right. More dangerous than cigarettes, ya'all. Also, get a clearomizer/tank setup like everyone else.

I only take advice from the crazy lady at the walmart parking lot. She can tell the future after taking a swig of great value KY.

LOL similar experience here when filling my DCT Tank for the first time... filled the carto, filled the tank went to push the end cap back on it shot a couple drops up into my eye. Didnt think about the fact that since its a sealed air-tight/water-tight environment that pushing the cap in would alter the pressure in the tank enough to shoot some juice into the carto which was already full. Only one place for it to go! And worst part... it was menthol juice. OUCH! Burning stops after a minute or two though... but it dilated my pupil better than the crap the eye doc uses lol! Took about 20 minutes to go back to normal, but I'm pretty sure thats from the menthol rather than the nic.

Glad ur OK.

This is one reason why PT's break (and get shorts in cords, and possibly fry USB ports, and why you should use an AC->USB adapter if you don't already). :D

I shot some into my eye cleaning out an atomizer a few weeks ago. Blowing atomizer out into tissue, guess I blew too hard because the liquid shot back up into my eye. I can confirm it burns like the dickens for a few seconds, but it was just a drop so it went away pretty quick. Needless to say I am much more careful now when blowing out an atty.

I had something similar happen...I was filling a tank...pushed a carto too far down and juice came flying out. It was all over my clothes and hands. So of course whenever something is on your hands you always magically get an itch in your eye...you know what happens next. I touched my eye and it sucked! Luckily I still have both eyes. :D

I hear juice in eye gives a quicker nic hit and more visceral experience. Far closer to smoking than e-cigs. Pain and pleasure, the risk of real physical harm, doing something you shouldn't do in general. I mean, it's no holding burning objects in your mouth, for sure, but it's still pretty cool. This is how the kids are vaping. You are ahead of the curve my friend.
