Since i am almost legally blind i had a Friend usd a 1 1/4 inch hole saw abd cut a hold that my ejuice bottle sit in so o didn't have to worry about spillage.

I the nic was the last thing i added to the juice.

This tip may help Someone worried about nicotine.

In my Nic storage 1 put everything in Brown bags and marked it 100 mg Nic-poison, just incase someone has to deal with it besides me. I also marked it not food, since it is in the freezer. It us double plastic bagged, plus aluminum foil then the brown bag :)

Oh has anyone used Nude nics flavorings? I was thinking of trying a few, any favorites?

Completely understandable.
My concern, for now, was will I be able to handle it safely nearing 70yrs of age. Things are going the wrong way even now. :(
I KNOW the feeling!

That is part of why i was sooooooo happy to go nic free last December.

I understand this concern too :( my progressive disability played a big part in buying the lower 60mg/ml nic and using small 30-60 ml bottles for storage for safer handeling, although I did purchase one liter of 100mg/ml nic.

More of a mind over matter thing. I've gotten it all over me a few times and have been fine. Before it got all over me I was scared of it also.
Exactly

When I came to this site all fresh and new...

I was desperately trying to get an adequate nic fix.

People told me 36mg/ml equalled certain death.

Yet vendors had it readily available and ready to vape at quite a few places.

I took heed of the warnings and suffered through baby steps.

I finally settled on 50mg/ml @ 80 watts.

I didn't even notice when I spilled the nic base on my drawers.

Then woke up with a burn/tingle.

2+2=4

I figured out people were speaking from what they were told and not from actual knowledge.

So I tasted my nic base as I did my other supplies... by itself.

Heck, I was already chain vaping 50mg... what was 1 hit of 100mg going to do? :blink:

I never did. I always used The Perfurmerers Apprentice, or High Desert Vapes.

I did use Loran oils Pralines and cream but that was horrible and NOT recommended.

Just an FYI, I just used some old Nic I had stored in the dark but not frozen or refrigerated and it is at least 3 yrs old and it is fine. It was 7 mg mixed in PG/VG and I'm vaping it now. Nic maybe lower if it lost potency but flavor is fine.

Meh...

I've vaped my 100mg base on an RDA.

Also slept with it spilled on my drawers.

Nothing to sweat.

You are also used to vaping higher nic levels too on a daily basis :) you know the strange thing was the 60mg/ml nic I bought had a distinct nic smell that made me feel really anxious handling it where the 100mg/ml nic I just bought had virtually no odor and I had no anxiety handling it.

I got most of mine from High Desert but tried a few from DIY one stop and Wizard labs Lemonade Cookie I like, trying to find something to replace Ahlusion Lemon Vanilla cake is tough!

What is Nicotine, really? And is it Harmful to smokers? | Smoke Free Room

Nicotine is an odorless and colorless naturally occurring liquid alkaloid compound found in many plants, including, of course, tobacco.

Wanted to link to an article on ecig politics.com but the site is suspended. :confused:

Funny how our senses can over take our sensibility over our knowledge.

Smells bad = step back for safety.

I still maintain there may (or may not) be something to that.

I prefer a cleaner nic myself.

Though I stepped right out of cigarettes and right into bakery/fruit/other non tobacco flavors. So a cleaner nic makes sense.

I would divulge that my nic tolerance was INSANE long before vaping. So there's that.

It's not my vaping level that dictates my nic tolerance. Rather the nic tolerance that dictates the vaping level.

At one point I was wearing 2 21mg nic patches, chewing a pack or more of nic gum AND STILL smoking upwards of 4 PAD.

Though I've also had (with ample warning) dozens of current smokers vape on my gear for up to 10 hours with little to no even minor issues. Yes, 50mg @ 0.2 ohm.

And there's the idea it doesn't instantly penetrate the epidermis and is easily washed off.

So it's likely 100mg base would be of little to no concern for most people.

Not to say if you feel safer taking the extra precaution, you shouldn't.

Just to advocate a little less paranoia in one aspect of our little corner of the world.

The color was just a tiny bit yellow, the Nic seems right but has a little flat taste like water?? Not sure why but I need more flavor added perhaps. I tried Lucky Shot in it and it was great first day but now seems a bit flat so will add a bit more flavor. The Nic was from Wizard labs. I have some in the freezer from same batch, says expired in 2014, so is at least 3 yrs old from when I bought it, maybe longer. Will be a good test for frozen :)

I wonder why the 60mg/ml nic had a stronger smell to it then, it was in 100% VG and crystal clear.
Crap nic prob. I vape 2mg and have had the 100mg base all over my hands a few times. I'm sure drinking it would be bad but on your skin its fine. Not saying use it like lotion, but don't be scared if it gets on you. you have plenty of time to wash it off.

The reason people get ill/die from drinking ejuice is there is a lot more in it than they realize. Take my 2mg/ml, I make 50ml bottles so there is 100mgs of nic in the entire bottle(1ml of base. It's why I vape 2mg, lazy diy).
Now lets take 20mg/ml in a 5ml bottle, there's 100mgs of nic in that one bottle. Now most places sell 15ml and up for bottle sizes. So a 15ml bottle at 20mg/ml would have a total of 300mgs of nic in it, A 50ml would have 1000mgs total. See the difference between them.

Getting a little bit of 100mg base on you isn't getting the full 100mg on you. Just like spilling some ejuice on you isn't exposing you to all of the nic in the bottle.

Probably an evolutionary safeguard, smells bad, step back, don't handle, don't eat it.

Oh I didn't notice any smell, but have some sinus problems so some days I can't smell much LOL
