Hm, next time I step out into -20 weather and have a Raynauds attack within 5 seconds and frozen nose hairs within the same, I will remember that it could be worse: 50 degrees warmer.

I’ve had to superglue twice more. The cut seems to be jumping back and forth between my left and right thumb. Oh well.
You really need not the gloves without fingers, but the finger gloves without hands. Or maybe just gloves. Or maybe (heresy!) stop squonking outside so much.
Man it JUST started to rain heavily here. I don't like that.
I hope it heals up, maybe see a doctor?

No gloves are needed here but I would suggest, especially this time of year, some sort of lotion or balm for your hands. I know here in Illinois, if I didn't use something I would have cracks all over my hands. This is what I use and you need only apply it to any rough surface and within a couple days the roughness will all but disappear...

Oh yea it’s definitely from washing my hands a lot and not using enough lotion. At my job my hands come into contact with a lot of germs so I’m constantly washing.

Works great in a reo, or keep on using them rock hard reo bottles and superglue

I use the reo soft bottles and I think they’re perfect. I’ll deal with the thumbs cracking in winter lol. Any softer and the atty doesn’t drain fast. I’ve also noticed some silicone bottles impart a taste into the e liquid.
I'm a germophobe and yep the constant washing combined with the cold is a recipe for cracks.
Said it once, say it again...take it from someone in a sub-arctic climate: bag balm is the best thing you can use, bar none, and it's cheap.
Some may find it difficult to get past the fact that bag balm is designed for cow utters, but hey, milk 'em if you got 'em I always say
