You honestly want to know what the scary part is? All it may take is one accident, and the media will be all over this "unsafe, non-government approved" habit, and the real push to ban anything involving e-cigs would be on.

Common sense is needed--just make the effort to keep it out of children's reach, like you would with medicines, pills, cleaners, etc.

I've been saying the exact same thing for months.

I think this thread ought to be closed.
It is insulting to the ones that already know this stuff.

Natural selection works, stop interfering.
If someone drinks a bottle of e-juice, or their kid or pet gets it, it is not the e-cig industries fault.
It was the parents fault. I'm wasting a lot of my time here for no good reason.
Just tell the noobs to dial 411 and ask for the local poison control number, fixed.

I keep it everywhere.. or anywhere. I am a long term smoker, nic addict, 45 years of 2 packs a day and never thought of nic overdoses. But having my coffee this morning and thinking about a visit from the grand kids, well I thought about this post.. I see lots of youtube vids that show bookshelves full of juice.. and on vapetv lastnight the hosts had a whole wall filled with e juice.

Great first post alan,
bet you think twice next time :)

I wonder how many are actually lying and have juice bottles they have lost and have no idea where they are.

I was in the PIF area a while back, and a vaper actually came in and said "my dog just ran off with my bottle of juice, should I be worried". More interested in swapping flavors I guess.
and someone commented that "PG is dangerous for cats, but it's used in dog food".

I would think that it would be a common sense thing not to leave something like an eliquid around to where a child could get to it. It's the same equivalent, to me, of locking up cleaners and detergents so they can't get to them.

You should lock it up like you would a gun. That said there is nothing wrong with a gun or E-liq it is how you handle them. ether one has the potential to kill someone it's the measures you take that will prevent it.

Chemicals and other cleaning supply's are in the same category.

Not much to say other then the topic is not well done and the OP should and could have written this with little more tact.

He wouldn't have written it with more tact. That was not his intention. He went for the shock tactic. He wanted to make a bang. Or maybe he was genuinely trying to "martyr himself" for the cause of safety. Look how he starts:

I know almost everyone here is going to yell about this post and I wil probably get banned but here goes.

I guess he is the type that has everything and anything and anybody figured out. Never had interacted with this forum, obviously never read how newbs are treated here (better than in ANY OTHER forum I've ever been), but he, the spelling challenged PhD, can pass judgments on the ECF, and on all of us from post #1. Not to mention, never looked at the multiple high warnings about safety posted by our gracious hosts everywhere around the forum.

IF he really cared about helping us be safer, he would have opened with a friendlier remark.

I'm sorry I give him what he wants, but I believe he deserves the exact same level of courtesy he extended to us.

Test Question:
hehe,

How many people can you kill with a 1000ml bottle of 100mg/ml nic juice?
or how many times can you kill a single person with the same amount?

oh no, not the dreaded math quiz :)


it gets worse :)

how many square feet of wood flooring would have to be replaced if you dropped and broke that 1000ml bottle on your kitchen floor?
It's OK for a veteran to answer, as most noobs wouldn't know anyway.

How are they going to slip it though customs when they ship overseas?
Could you see a custom's agent opening a box of plastic bottles with skull and cross bones on them :)

That is the most asinine thing I have read today. Like chemicals don't go through customs everyday with similar warnings on them.

So the OP has something that they are concerned about and posts it. What happens? He gets Slammed For It?

I guess Tolerance is something that is Out of Vogue these days.

I remember something George Carlin said one time when his Performances were banned because some Radio Stations said they contained "Offensive Language".

...

"Last I checked, most Radios have Two Buttons on them. One makes the Sound Louder and the Other One Turns the Radio Off.

If you like the Words that come out of My Mouth, Use the First One.

If you Don't, Use the Second One."

Common sense people, common sense.
I don't think any of us would leave a poison out where our kids could get it intentionally.
I have read many posts that include just how dangerous nicotine is.
I hope were all grownups here and have some common sense.

Awh Jeeze...

If we have to Rely on People Having Common Sense then the World is Doomed.

Sometimes common sense is not as common as you may think. My ex left out a ash tray and it had some cigarette butts in it and my little girl ate them. Called the hospital and they said she would be fine but it was scary because I live a few hours away. I was the first person she called and you would think it would have been the hospital but some people Don't have a brain or refuse to use it.
