This myth was probably started because someone realised that the supposed fatal dose of nicotine was something like five cigarettes, and people smoke that number back to back all the time. So it must only be fatal when drunk, right? The almost certainly correct answer is that the fatal dose is twenty times the supposed amount. Nobody smokes a hundred cigarettes within a few hours.
Don't drink your e-liquid. Vape it. I would handle 100mg/ml nic base with some respect, but what you are vaping is very unlikely to hurt you unless you are on a personal mission to prove Darwin correct.
The ~60mg estimate is false. At this point anyone that is using it is to be classified as a hack at best.
Here is the study: How much nicotine kills a human? Tracing back the generally accepted lethal dose to dubious self-experiments in the nineteenth century
It is actually quite hard to die from relatively low concentrations of nicotine. You get very sick and that limits absorption. You have to encounter very high concentration or do crazy things like inject it, to die from it.

just read your link... good reading.
As far as lethal dose.. its stating 6.5-13 mg per kilogram of weight, since I weigh 210 ( approx 100kg) I would have to consume 650-1300 mg of nicotine to become non functional
in other words 40 ml of 36nic juice all at once...
ata... with this in mind the threat of getting a little dribble of juice in your mouth is no where near enuf to do you in... might make you hiccup, feel a bit throw-uppy, but you wont be making a visit to the morgue....

The worry about this is ludicrous. There are more harmful products under your kitchen sink! There are more harmful products in your medicine cabinet. Why aren't these a base for conversation? Agenda would be my guess?!?!

How the hell does anyone drink a lethal dose of eliquid by accident?! Sounds about as risky as accidentally eating a lethal dose of analogs. If you died from any of those, it was probably just natural selection doing it's thing lol
I have had a spill of 10ml of ejuice on my stomach in the past because I was being careless. I had absolutely no ill effects and it sat on my skin for at least 30 seconds before I had a chance to wipe it off.
I have had a lot of eliquid in my mouth and have never gotten sick or felt any abnormal sensation on my skin from it.
In reality, ejuice CAN be dangerous. It is up to you to be responsible. Keep it out of reach of children and be careful while handling it. It isn't much different than when you are handling any other potentially dangerous substance. Sure, you can die while driving in your car. You can accidentally run a stop sign or someone else can and end your life. How do you avoid this? By being careful and responsible. It's really that simple.
Yeah, I agree. If you don't feel you are responsible enough to handle an ecig than don't use it at all. No one is forcing anyone to partake in our Dangerous activity
HAHA! Well that just falls into the whole 'be responsible' thing I just mentioned...
I think somebody was trollollolling.
I had probably half a ml of 24mg go down my throat last night. A slight burning of the tongue/back of throat was the only discomfort felt.
I do know that some shamanic rituals in South America entail the use of a concentrated extract, ie tea and snuff, from the tobacco species Nicotiana Rustica, also known as mapacho. I've seen them pour, spray, and blow it into the nasal cavity. I've heard of people using it in an enema. Sometimes they put it in a shamanic (psychedelic) brew called Ayahuasca, but only in large amounts if they want to induce vomiting, also known as purging. You've got to get those demons and dark energies out somehow I suppose, lol. Shamanic tourism is a big industry, and rapidly growing, in parts of Brazil and Peru. Once in awhile you hear of an amateur shaman killing a few people from too much mapacho, but it is rare. I'm sure that many circumstances, and mistakes, come together for that to happen. Moral of the story is know what your working with and treat it with respect. If you get a little on you, wash it off. Keep Calm and Vape on!

Perfectly valid question. Many people on ECF have been here a long time and are familiar with vaping, DIY, nicotine, etc. Questions like this may seem out of line, but to newcomers to vaping and ECF questions like this abound. Newbies are full of questions about what we consider the most basic of things. I shudder when I think how ignorant I must have sounded when I first started vaping.
