Thanks for the Warning

"Nicotine is an extremely toxic substance - more so than arsenic, milligram for milligram. Its extraction, storage and use in e-liquid pose a significant risk to the user and anyone who might come into contact with it."

I had forgotten this - if I ever really knew.

You (administrators) must have the warning set to pop up for anyone who does much browsing in the diy threads. Hats off to you for that!

It's toxic but not extremely toxic. It would take a 60mg injection to kill someone my size. I'm 6'2'' and around 280. It takes 50mg to kill a lab rat. Your not going to OD from vaping.

Pure nicotine is used as a pesticide. When mixing your own liquid you need to be extremely careful. Pure nicotine is 100mg+

They have to post that in the DIY section. It covers any legal issues and warns the uninformed that there are risks to mixing your own liquids. Basically covering their

What we vape in the liquids that are sold by vendors are in safe amounts. Just be sure to keep the liquids away from kids and pets so that no unfortunate accidents happen.

Just seems like someone trying to churn the pot, however i agree, nicotine is toxic, however you have to be exposed to a significant amount in order to face risks above that of smoking in my opinion.

I'm curious if someone could point me to nicotine specific research. anything realistically in-depth I've found includes risks / substances associated with tobacco smoke.

Pure nicotine is classified as containing 990 mg+ nicotine. I use 100 mg all the time without incident BUT always follow proper safety procedures especially wearing safety glasses- getting some in the eye is extremely painful. As for 1000 mg I have ordered it BUT it went straight to a lab. Glasses, gloves, plastic sheeting under the mixing area and extreme focus on the project with notes.

100mg/ml is 10% nicotine.

Nicotine is an insecticide. Its purpose in life is to protect tobacco plants from insects.

I guess when we remove 3000 toxins from our daily lives the nay-sayers have to have something bad left to point fingers at.

Nicotine is harmful if ingested by humans or pets. Keep it away from children and animals. A pack of cigarettes containing nicotine is also harmful if ingested, so keep those in a safe place if you are still stupid enough to smoke them. Also, nicotine gum and nicotine patches! LOL.
