Strange question

[Robdob]

My elderly father in law (who is sharp, but careless) used a few drops of my 12mg coffee ejuice in each of his ears instead of his ear drops. We rinsed his ears out as soon as we realized the error. He doesn't smoke or vape. Is there any danger?

WoW! I think good rinsing should do the trick.

if rinsed them out should fine i would think, worse case a little nic buz

With the ears being a tender/thin skinned area, nicotine has a better chance of absorption inside the ear canal :/

Rinse very well and clean with qtips.

Might get a slight "nic rush" at some point, but any super dangers like od I do not expect to happen.

Another reason to keep e-liquids stored properly for accidents like this. Just curious what was the VG/PG Ratio?

To possibly alleviate some concerns I found this part of an article

7. Glycerin for Ear Wax Removal
If you read the labels of some of the commercially available ear wax softener drops, you will find glycerin as one of the ingredients in most of these drops. Glycerin is an effective wax softener due to its moisturizing and lubricating properties. It is also considered safe to be used when it comes to ear wax removal at home. Although glycerin can be put into the ears undiluted, its better to dilute it with some water due to its viscosity. Water makes glycerin a little thinner so that it may easily go deep down to soften the wax impacted there under.

Sounds like when my mom took their dog's allergy medication. Fortunately it didn't have any adverse effects, however, she didn't sneeze as much when they mowed the grass
