The difference between you and I MrCloudMaker is that you spill 100mg on your privates by accident.
My Experience of a 10ml Spill of 100mg/ml

I just got a 1000ml graduated cylinder that has 20ml increments...no more weighing or syringes. Just pour from the bottle every 6 weeks or so and then dump into a Mason jar till I'm ready to use.
Danny, being a leader here of diy we try to follow you. But tellin grown men to wear aprons?? Well maybe a welders apron

Cool gloves too
Yea I should have been a bit clearer. A grown man wearing his wifes frilly cooking apron may be just a little to over the top for most
You can never be too careful but 100mg nic is survivable lol.
The vapors that dress in hermetically sealed outfits when handling nic crack me up.
It reminds me when I was really little I was painting something at a house in the neighborhood. The older boy at the house let me use turpentine to clean my hands and told me to run home to wash my hands otherwise my hands would fall off.
A terrible thing to do to a kid...lol

I fully respect the people wanting to dress up in hazmat suits to do mixing(sorry, no disrespect meant!), but there also just is so much disinformation being read and repeated which takes a life of it's own e.g. that 60mg nic+ will burn your skin(I hate that nonsence!) and that you shouldn't smell 100mg nic directly. Well, probably not a good idea to intensively breath it in repeatedly, but I always takes good sniffs, 4 or 5 sniffs of my nics, to get to know how it smells, simply, which often correlates to the taste imho, e.g. nicselect, clear example. Anyway, I remember a member here stating that he let his 8 year old daughter sniff different nics too, in a specific case, with similar no ill effect. I don't wanna put anyone on the spot if someone doesn't approve, so just leave it at that. One of the often cited sources of the above, stated that people where ...... running 0.25ohms builds on clone mechs. First of all, that's according to CDR for a quality 20a CDR samsung,sony,lg cell(with voltage-drop/battery-sag detracted is roughly 50-60w and 15a on full cell, though of course much dangerous on faulty hardware) and second, when getting a mech you're supposed to know what you're doing, meaning you disassemble it and clean it and check for flaws(as the circuit is dead-simple and flaws do stand-out) before use(and first run, away from head, in short burst). Sorry, moving off-topic it seems
Anyway, about the small stature and health-issues and such, then we're all vaping allready for christs-sake, meaning do take in nic fine and have a nic-tolerance allready...
Also, a previous member here used to directly taste 100mg nic drops on his tongue for quality/taste-check of new nics. He stated it was little tingly and spicy... (6mg vaper)
Again, not telling others what to do at all, but just that somethings are just wildly exagerated allready...

MrCloudMaker, I feel for ya, man! It was probably a scary experience at best.
I've always been concerned about knocking over my liter bottle of 100mg nic and haven't transferred it to smaller glass bottles yet, but will soon. After 7 months of DIY at 3% nic the dropper still reaches the liquid. It's the transfer process that kind of worries me. Pouring even through a funnel into smaller neck bottles with thick nic is probably a slow process with a high chance of spillage if you aren't careful.
I did leave the foil inner cap on my liter nic bottle. I just punched a glass dropper sized hole in it and I work through that to fill my 2 ounce glass bottles on the scale. Then, I close down the nic bottle and put it up. Eventually the dropper won't be long enough to reach the nic through that hole.

Easily solved, @DaveP - buy some of these:
GLOBE SCIENTIFIC 400mL PP Polypropylene Tri-Corner Plastic Beaker (Lot of 10) | eBay
They're cheap enough to be disposable, if you want. Throw in some of these to decant into from the beaker:
3 Piece Set - Plastic Graduated Cylinders, 10, 50 & 100ml - PP Material Karter | eBay
Heck, the 100mL graduated cylinder may be wide-mouthed enough to pour into directly from your liter bottle.
From the cylinders you can pour into anything, safely: small neck Boston rounds, even small dropper-tip plastic bottles.
I am repeating myself from time to time, so one more time:
My safety measures when working with nicotine:
1. I am working with big bottles of 100 mg nicotine only on my deck or in a sink (so, spills are not dangerous).
2. I am not working with even small bottles of 100 mg nicotine in carpeted rooms. Too difficult to clean spills from carpet (or upholstery).
3. I am wearing glasses anyway, so no additional eyewear needed.
4. I wash out any drops of nic from my sking ASAP
Thant's it.
I keep my 60 ml bottle of nic in my desk, I mix on my desk, no anxiety, no worries. Had some small spills, sequence dry paper towel - wet paper towel - dry paper towel works fine.

I have the beakers. The graduated cylinders look like just the thing for transferring to the brown glass 4oz and 8oz Boston Rounds that I have new in cartons for that purpose.
Maybe something like this. And don't you just love the color

So, how do you detox a vapor protection suit once it has 100mg/ml Nic all over it? I'd guess that someone would have to do the water hose thing before you take it off.
At $1200 I wouldn't want to have to throw it away!

Call the fire department and have them turn on the high pressure fire hose. It will do the job as well as knock you into the next county
Depending on their size, I'd be more worried about the dogs getting into the stuff than any spill on me. Then again, I did have a dog who ate an entire pack of Marlboro Lights and was fine. Same dog would also drink my coffee if I put my mug down and left the room for a minute. I don't even want to get into the unattended vodka tonic on the coffee table. That dog had serious substance abuse issues.
I only mix relying on my bottle of 30 ml of 100 mg nic filled well in advance. Even if I dump the whole 30 ml on the counter I'm not endangering myself as long as I don't clean it up by licking it off. The time I use extra special care is going from a 1 liter bottle into smaller bottles, which are then used to draw on my stock into my 30 ml nic bottles. Spilling a liter would not only represent a nasty hazmat cleanup (OK, no not real hazmat, but rubber gloves and double bagging the wet paper towels would be my approach) but break my heart thinking of all the juice it could have made.

LOL!! That bought back memories of a dog I had when I was much younger. He got into a baggie of pot that my friend had in his jacket pocket and ate it. Then I guessed it gave him the munchies because he was hell bent on getting to the munchies on the kitchen counter. I never knew he could jump so high and he was never more determined to get up on the counter then that night. After many attempts at it he just passed out and did not want to wake up. Needless to say my friend was ....... Talk about your dog with substance abuse issues and a major eating disorder (literally a real party animal). I guess I should be glad he wasn't a smoker

Ah, nothing like having a dog with the munchies.
All still good, thanks guys for many kind words
It is a one year old husky and 18 month beagle. When I'm vaping desert flavours the beagle sniffs like a mad one, and sits begging as if it was food for me to save her some.
My Irish wolfhound German shepherd cross was partial to rosé wine could not leave a glass unattended.

What is with these dogs with booze and cigarettes? Did we raise them wrong and were bad parents?
I hope I don't one day get a knock at the door from doggie protective services known here in these parts as ASPCA
