So yeah my e-cigar that cost me £13 ish leaked overnight, only had it a day and I was puffing away until I noticed it, I got a really strong taste and I wondered what it was but it was because the leaked liquid had come up out of the cart and I got a bit in my mouth.

Anything to worry about? I heard that the e-liquid is toxic if swallowed! I didn't swallow a load just a little bit.

You'll be fine. Wipe it off, rinse your mouth with water if it makes you feel better. People chew tobacco and don't drop dead from tobacco juice. I mean, no, you shouldn't drink the stuff, but getting a residual amount on you isn't going to harm you. You might want to check those carts though and see if they are defective.

To be honest I've just thrown it in the bin, I don't even want to try and fix it. The taste from all that liquid in my mouth has put me off e-cigars.

Good to know their is nothing to worry about anyway.

nicotine OD symptoms are hard to ignore, long before you have enough to actually hurt you (unless you chug a bunch of it or something)

you will experience all the same sensations that most folks did the first time they smoked an analog - light headedness, nausea, headache, dizziness. If you experience these things, probably time to lay off of vaping for a bit, or use a lower MG juice. That's actually how i settled on the right dosage juice for me, by figuring out that 12mg/ml juice wouldn't make me feel dizzy when I chain vaped all night as I typically do. 18 and 24 mg/ml juice definitely made it obvious that they were too much for me.

As far as getting juice in your mouth goes - while I learned to drip I ingested a ton of the stuff, from the atomizer spitting it back at me. Tastes nasty (usually), and can numb your taste buds for a bit, but no ill effects.
