I've been vaping for a while and never had this happen, but I took the cap off of my fluid and went to drip my cart and dumped E-Fluid on my hand. Approximately 4ml of 24mg fluid. I washed my hands promptly thereafter. My question is, should I be concerned about some variety of OD? If so, what symptoms should I be looking for? Obviously... a prompt response is preferred.
...so I spilled e-fluid on myself

You'll be fine. You did the right thing, wash up ASAP. 24mg = 2.4% nic. 4ml * .024 = not a whole lot of nic in a solution which is not easily absorbed.
Sorry I would have licked it off my hand....lol...Just Kidding....No, there is no worry, just wash your hands as soon as you can...That is all....
Enjoy...

Ive had it in my eye before (Im not the only one on the forum thats done that either lol) and that was ouchy but apart from irritation it was fine. Had it go in an open cut, drank some (long story, total accident), get it on my hands all the time - Im really not as clumsy or messy as this makes me out to be btw lol. The point is, I'm fine and have been fine - a bit of soap n water usually is all the fix I need for those little spills.
I may have licked it up myself 
Honestly nothing to worry about. Rinse it off and you are good to go. Now if it had been high strength, diff story.
Since you ask... headache, ringing in the ears, and nausea are the first symptoms of nic OD.

If you had licked your hand off you might of had a queasy stomach for 20 minutes. People on these forums make a big stink about nicotine being a poision, but so is water and oxegen at high enough levels. You are not accidentally going to kill your self with nic fluid.
And here I thought I was the only one that had that same problem(s)
I've also managed to get it on some other very private parts (don't ask). And a little soap and water fix's the slight burning sensation.
After a couple of months, I think I've managed to spill or spread the juice on every portion of my body, without any long term effects - effects, what?, huh? Oh, yea, really, in my ear? How did that get there?

If you had accidently drank 4ml of 24mg juice it would have been serious. It only takes 0.5mg to 1mg per kilo of body weight to kill (at least 50% of human beings). If you weigh 220lbs it would only take about 50mg-100mg for you to OD and (50/50 chance) die, or, just the 4mls that you washed of your hands (96mgs).
That being said, I mix with 100mg/ml all the time and I get the stuff on my hands occasionally and at that much, I wash promptly. But for my mixes (25mg/ml), I keep a damp micro cloth handy to wipe any spillage.

I've never gotten e-liquid in my eyes (and I'm kind of interested in how you guys did, but I don't think I want to know...), but I've spilled 36mg liquid on my hands and fingers plenty of times. My only concern is that it feels sticky.
Ive gotten it in my eye before too.....get a little on your fingers.....figure its good enought to just wipe your fingers on your jeans and forget about it....UNTIL you rub your eyes!!! Apparently rubbing your fingers off on your jeans is fine unless you going for an eyeball in the very near future!!!STINGs for a minute and you know EXACTLY why..."Damn, I didnt wash that crap off of my hands!!!"
Search for taryn spin...i was doing that. Now imagine a drop flying at the speed of that spin and hitting the eye.
Please do your homework before making unqualified statements such as this.
I once came this --><-- close to putting a drop of 24mg SUPER MENTHOL in my eye when I absent-mindedly (but sober) reached for my contact lens drops without looking at the bottle first. I noticed something wasn't right at the very last second.
On a tangent, I once watched a drunk friend of mine squirt Afrin nasal spray into his eye in a similar fashion. I'm like "why is he leaning his head back for nasal spray?" but it was too late to stop him. I felt bad that I couldn't stop laughing - and his subsequent drunk dialing Poison Control only served to extend the hilarity!

No Need to worry, if it had been pure nic then I would have been concerned but with the amount of nice in e-liquid its no problem because if it was I would surely be dead by now!
When I dripped my atomizer with the NJOY I got a lot of juice in my mouth and absorbed the nicotine. I didn't get sick, didn't clean my mouth, just got a major buzz. This happened to me frequently, and I'm glad I have an eGo because it never gets any in my mouth.
I've spilled some on my hands before, didn't wash them, and didn't notice any changes.
Anyway this is from using the 18mg nicotine juice (HIGH)
However I think it could be dangerous, and the last time I spilled some on my hand I washed it immediately. Just wanted to say I don't think its all that dangerous if you are accustomed to smoking a pack and a half a day, as you probably have a high tolerance to nicotine.
