n00b mistake no one warned me about...

So when I get a little bit of juice in my mouth, it's due to a flooded atomizer right? And from this point I should what, blow the juice out of the atomizer and dab dry it w/ a paper towel or...?

Well, hard to say. I'd say (from my limited experience) you could blow out the atomizer. Hold it over a napkin and blow into the battery end. I'm always careful when "dabbing" an atomizer tube in the business end because I'm afraid of damaging that mesh on the bridge. Besides, if there is juice pooled in there it will be pooled down around the tube at the bottom of that bridge where whatever you're dabbing with isn't going to reach. Blowing it out should be fine. It will get wicked up that mesh on the bridge eventually right? So maybe that only reason to blow it out would be if it's flooded to where it isn't producing vapor. I'll blow mine out (when I drip and drip too much) when it gurgles.

Sometimes I will just pull the mouthpiece off and wipe the outside of it where it sticks in the atomizer tube. The flat spots where the air goes on the outside to get to the mouthpiece hole. Vapor will condense there and form drops... maybe only if it's flooded down around the atomizer?

I get juice in my mouth/on my hands all the time. Rinse your mouth/wash your hands asap and you should be ok.

I vape lying down all the time. Never happened to me. Not to say I haven't tasted any ejuice. It has always been from over-filling or mod experments. My mods are well tested before I go to bed with them.

Juice on the hands? I let it soak in. It will absorb systemically into your body like the patch does. Why waste good nicotine?

I've done the glowing light in my mouth instead of the cart end a few times.

a FEW times? I find myself doing this FREQUENTLY. Hahaha!

bighatcowboy, it isn't a good idea to vape in bed at all. I've seen a few posts from people who activated their manual batteries and kept them turn on until they got really hot just by rolling over on them.

I bought an extra mild hand soap because I'm washing my hands so often. If there's any possibility I got some on my hands, I wash before I'll pick up my birds.
