Liquid Nicotine Question.

[Sugar_and_Spice]

I would assume puffing smoking the rubbish Benson & Hedges and 555 all these years would make me immune to harsh throat hits. Never smoked lights as well. But vape stuff have a completely different set of rules!!

If you go to purchase in your local shop tell them if you want a smooth hit or somewhat of a throat hit. They can sit you up right cause they know you live near them and would be back to complain if they didn't lol......It should be clear, no matter what and without smell. If it has either don't buy it. When buying online you don't get that option.

The main thing is safety first. Be sure you can use your dishwashing gloves to manipulate small items (bottles, droppers, etc.). You might test them first by mixing up something using just water. The loss of the feeling of touch can cause one to be quite clumsy.

Like @stols001, I rarely use gloves unless they are surgical gloves. Also, remember that getting on your skin is not the only issue with using nic. Stepping on accidental splatters, drips, and/or spills can be very dangerous to small animals and small children. Even though I have a clinical background, I still let people in the house know what I am doing, not to be disturbed and then secret myself away from any potential "surprise!" situations (I have a dog with a warped sense of humor that sneaks up behind me and barks and a deaf cat that has to claw my leg to get attention).

Hazmat suit, no; careful caution, yes.

To add to this, If you do get nic base on you, wash with cool or cold water not hot. Hot water opens pores, cold water closes them somewhat.

Yeah I will. For starters, i will keep the gloves on. Probably when my hands become steady enough i can ditch it. But I dont think it will ever happen. I am a little careless when it comes to cautious stuff.

Mostly, you don't want to end up in a situation where you accidentally drop/pour a bunch of high mg nic on your skin (or lap, chest, whatever it falls onto). It can be absorbed through the skin, however the PG and VG slow it way down. That's why they don't sell pure nic, because it would kill people (quick absorption, and high concentration) if they have an accident with it, but when it's cut to a 10% solution in vg or pg, not too bad.

Gloves are a fine idea. I've used them...

I work at a table such that if I spill it, it goes on the table and not on me.

IMO the biggest not-inhaling danger with that stuff is kids/pets. Keep it and all flavors way up and out of the way, locked cabinet, etc. Same way you do for kid-proofing with poisons and cleaning products.
