maybe i'm just not good at cleaning up after myself , and no matter how many times i wash my hands , i feel like i always have juice residue on my thumb and forefinger. I feel like it's on my mouse , my keyboard , all my devices and on my thumb... even after i clean everything off.

i don't get it , does juice ever rinse fully away!?:mad:

maybe it's just in my head...

Sometimes it feels greasy when I get it on my hands, and might take two hand washes to completely rid myself of that feeling.

On the other hand, I am INCREDIBLY weird about getting this liquid places because it's toxic and all that so yeah, I imagine it's everywhere too.

I love that avatar, that's cool.

Anyway, it might be all in your head, I tend to imagine all manner of weird things because of worries, especially about this toxic liquid. But realistically, I would like to say and hope that it does come off of things.

Yeah, or maybe I'm just crazy, that's entirely possible(likely) as well.

I keep a box of tissue handy, the e-cigs occasionally will leek a little after refilling cart. It don't take but a drop to feel like you got a cup of stuff on you. A little goes a long way that is why pg and vg is used in lotions.

yeah... that makes sense , it kind of feels like a lotion like sensation

I keep a pack of those antibacterial wipes next to me when I mix and wipe my hands with them as I need to. I have to use crutches to walk and I just dont want to get juice all over the handles of them. They seem to keep my hands clean and clear of any greasy feeling.

wow , that's a really good idea , do you wipe down your devices with them also , might help me with all my devices feeling greasy...

maybe it's just in my head...

Then again, maybe it's not. I've noticed that after I use the Turkish tobacco simulation smoke juice, I can smell it on my fingertips when I switch to another juice. Then again, I am a careless vaper. I hold the carts when I refill them and there's some spillage. Some tips leak slightly around the connection. Sometimes I get a few drops in my mouth and look around for something to spit in. I have atomizers standing in a plate and, when I move them tomorrow, I'll use a tissue to sop up whatever fluid is left. Heck, even if I spill some on myself, I don't stop what I'm doing to clean up immediately.

I think that my life, vaping, and juice are all intertwined now. I also think that after the millions (literally) of mg of nicotine I have sucked in, this fluid is not going to hurt me.

And I don't even want to think about the meaning of having fallen asleep with the PV in my hand a couple of nights ago. Seven hours later, I was still clutching it. Wonder if I had been smoking it in my sleep? That might explain why my sister's dog who passed away twenty years ago was walking alongside me on a trail in the woods in my dream.

Now I make it a practice to put down the PV before I go to sleep. :sleep: zzz

Yeah the stuff makes a mess, its even better when you have a 3xAA box mod and have the cart fill it with juice, it leaks out of every joint and gets freaking EVERYWHERE. Good thing I puff 11mg cut down to roughly 5mg with glycerin so I dont care if I get a little on me (other than the greasy feeling) but for the love of god dont rub your eyes with a nic-o-finger, the pain, the pain!!

Water....I've never had anything that felt sort of greasy/sticky wash off so quickly with water only. But instead of having to always be near a faucet, I keep a wet washcloth handy next to where I top off and it quickly removes those drops I try so hard to avoid but can't. If I don't remove it, it gets on everything I touch.

I think the cure is not to be drippy, which isn't easy. Now when I add drops to my cart, I try to 'upright' my bottle after every 3 or 4 drops, so it doesn't have time to run out if I'm over-doing it. It helps. Also, a bottle that doesn't release its drops real easy works better to avoid a mess.

I also felt like the liquid was still there after I would clean up so I started to use the clorex wipes where i do my mixing at and give my pvs a wipe down every day. I also keep a few of the travel ones with my kit in case i get any liquid on me it seems to remove the juice the easiest and quickest.

Need to know stuff keeps rolling my way, thanks, I have a 6lb Chihuahua, the love of my life, it would kill me if I made her sick :/ Those wipes are cheap, and handy. Thanks again.


I do not know how much juice it would take to poison a small dog but I figure it cant take much to do in a 3 pound dog. I also have a chihuahua and he likes to be close to me and of course lick my hands so I am extremely careful about the liquid I figure what fixes my cravings would probably kill him pretty quick. Other people with animals in the home should probably think about this as well.
