Should I be worried???

[antisomnic]

I received my 510 today and i was making a bootleg case for it and while I was doing it I noticed my heart was pounding. the carts i got have 16mg nicotine. i smelled my hand and noticed i got some liquid on my hands, i went and washed them. now i feel anxious my heart is pounding my toes are tingly and numb and i don't know if i'm just worrying myself or what. Could I have absorbed enough that I should be worried?

No worries, you'd have to just about take a bath in 16mg juice to cause any ill effects. You may have over-vaped a bit, though...too much nic can get your heart pounding pretty good.

I would not think that 16mg liquid should cause you to have palpitations .

That said everyone is different .

How much of it have you vaped and how many cigs did you smoke before and what strength were they ?.

no cigs today and i vaped maybe 6 or 7 puffs since i got it and that was hours ago. i think i'm sensative to nicotine though cause if i have a few cigarettes my heart starts pounding. i think what happened was some absorbed and i started getting worried which made it worse.

No. You have no business vaping 16 mg. I had the same problem with 24 mg. I went to 18 and it stopped. You probably ought to cut that by about half just to see if that works.

In other words, I don't think it was the spill, I think you just started vaping to high.

I may be totally wrong, but I suspect your heart's pounding because of anxiety over touching the liquid, rather than touching the liquid.

I used to be really paranoid about getting liquid on me (and I normally use 24mg and I've got some that's 36 and 48), but I get it all over my hands and nothing happens (except when I wipe a dab on my gums to get it off my finger).

If it's a big deal for you, maybe get a damp towel and keep it handy, so you can quickly wipe off on it if you spill a bit on you. But I suspect as you get more accustomed to handling the liquid, you'll get less nervous about it and your body will calm down. But again, I could be totally wrong.

 

[antisomnic]

yeah that's probably a good idea.

I get the liquid on my skin all the time. I usually just wipe it on a kleenex or paper towel or something, never had a problem. I just wouldn't suggest bathing in it.

You should probably try 12mg or so it might work better for you. When I use more than 18mg and I'm vaping a lot I can get a little lightheaded.
