liquid nicotine

[tplee]

I'd like to start making my own ejuice with liquid nicotine but after reading the warnings on this site I'm slightly nervous about weather is safe or not.

Is it seriously dangerous if you touch it with your bare skin?

Where/how do you store it?

There is a whole DIY forum on this site if you search around a bit. Nicotene is dangerous in high strength but once you learn all the basics it is quite easy to deal with. Mainly it depends on the strength/mg you buy. If you start with a lower level it is much easier to learn how to deal with it.

The DIY Liquid forum here at ECF will be a lot of help to you. You can buy nicotine base in various mg strengths and PG/VG ratios. I buy over a year's supply at a time of 100 mg, dilute it to 25 mg, bottle and freeze it and dilute the 25 mg base for finished mixes later during the year. It's best not to keep 100 mg sitting around the house. I dilute it to a safer level as soon I can for freezer storage.

100 mg nicotine base is 10% nicotine and should be handled carefully. Besides the basic lab ware I use disposable plastic gloves and protective eye ware with 100 mg. The mixing room should be well ventilated. Contact with skin should be avoided. Wash 100 mg off immediately if an accident happens.

Practice with lower strength bases is a smart idea before working with 100 mg. Even if you have chemistry lab experience handling some chemicals like thick Glycerin USP beforehand provides good experience.

Thanks for the info.

I didn't realize how dangerous it is. Maybe I shod stick to just buying pre made juices.

The first time I worked with 100mg nic my hands were shaking. I had read everything I could get my hands on about it. The stickees do tend to scare people a bit. I always work by my kitchen sink where I have access to water if I spill something. While there is a bit of danger as long as you know what you are doing it isn't a problem. Starting with a lower level is the best way to go until you are comfortable.

DIY is easy and very rewarding, you vape your own creations.

Safety wise, you can start with 36 mg unflavored liquid to dilute and flavor, you can get used to handling the products with the proper precautions without risk. Early in my vaping career I vaped 36 mg juice, in leaky carts so it was all over my hands most of the day. Wash it off if you do spill some, but it is relatively benign to handle.

I have spilled 100mg nic on my hands and washed it off. Scared the .... out of me at first but back then I was freaked out. I'm still alive a raising hell on the forums.

It is safe to diy. Come over to the DIY forum and start a thread, tag along, and gain some confidence. BTW I felt overwhelmed when I first started DIY. I started with 36mg/mL because I thought it was safer to do so.

BTW-welcome to the forum

But you're the same guy that vapes a 510 atty with no drip tip.

Broken glass and 36mg nic juice. It's the breakfast of champions...

just start out w/26mg nic its safe and if you desire a lower amount of nic in your juice you can just cut it down. I started w/26mg and now I only work w/the 100mg stuff only been vaping for 2 1/2 months but making some fine juices for about 1 1/2 months.
like people on here say just take your time and work carefully, working w/26 is easy and safe start there and practice making some juice you will then get a nack for it and decide if moving up in mg's is in your comfort level.
Best of luck!

Ha Ha ! yea, watch what happens LOL

Getting 24mg nicotine will give you a decent buzz while mixing it. But be sure to but rubber gloves and get real professional advice, and not mine... Go check out the DIY section. Lots of good recipes out there too.

Just thought mixing 24 made me relaxed mentally, now I know it is all the liquid on my fingers.

PS, I like tasting a couple drops of my juice when I'm done mixing. Is that bad????
