Just a reminder to wash your hands after handling e liquid. I just filled my Ego T tank and closed the cap and got some juice on my fingers. I had an itchy eye, and not thinking went to rub it with my e lquid fingers and BAMMM... does that burn. Ran to the bathroom and washed out my eye with water. Remember to wash your hands if you get any juice on them, don't be a dummy like me lol.

I wash my hands alot and am constantly wiping things down vaping related or not--I think they call this OCD 
But yes I agree its good to not get juice in the eyes-thanks for the reminder for other newbies.

Get one of those bottles with the blunt needle for your juice and you won't need to take the cap off the cartridge to refill.
So much easier refilling too

I got a little in my eye the other day..must have had a bit on my finger..it burned a min then went away fairly quickly..I didn't even wash my eye and it was fine but did rinse my hands after..ejuice pretty much rinses off..PG and VG are in a lot of daily things we use (including things like soaps,shampoos and food) and we inhale this stuff so it might not be so bad..maybe if you got a lot in your eye it could possibly cause damage..some of the flavors could be acidic and contain alcohol too...
Well that sounds like no fun, I'm sorry you had to experience that but happy you're sharing the experience. I always get juice on my hands and normally just wipe it off on a towel or napkin.
I am always scared of doing that, i know keep an emergency roll of toilet paper on the coffee table for clean up, my wife really loves that 
Smart idea to wash hands after filling a carto or cart and wipe the pv clean, too.
This reminds me of the summer after eighth grade when I lived in North Carolina. Me and a couple of my friends got jobs tying and hanging tobacco at a tobacco farm owned by the family of one of our classmates. We started work early in the morning on the first day. Our clothes were soaked in natural tobacco juice well before lunch time. By three in the afternoon all of us were hurling or brains out next to the tobacco barn. The older hands thought this was pretty funny, of course. It seems that this happens to a lot of people the first day they work in tobacco.

I'm a bit ocd when it comes to washing my hands, especially around "The Juice"
You make the "Didn't wash hands mistake" once, and you'll always remember. Especially when the mistake involves Jalapeno and habanero peppers.... That is all....

I literally got a tiny drop of juice on my hands right as I was reading this. Gonna be more careful, thanks.

Been there done that..it isn't all that bad really. I'm a hot pepper nut sometimes. I actually made some pizza sandwiches with jalapeno peppers on it last night. I make some buffalo wings that will make your eyes water and clear your sinuses..one of the ingredients is diced/minced jalapenos. I also ate a couple dried habanero's without a drink on a bet before..pretty hot but the the bad part of dried habanero's is they taste like dried dirt

The thing that I have found to clean juice off my hands and the OUTSIDE of my e-cig and all my tweezers and accessories and bottle are those "Cottonelle Personal Hygiene Wipes". It doesn't leave any residue that I've noticed and I've been using them for over a year. They don't take the finish off of my 510 and it removes the juice completely. And they are made to be flushed and you can get them in any grocery or drug store. I have got juice in my eyes before and had them swell up for 2 days.

I have been doing this since November & have gotten it in my eye. But not from it being on my hands.... I overfilled a Cartomizer & was blowing out the excess into a tissue & it splashed in my eye & i wear glasses! Now I blow with my eyes closed!!!!
(omg that sounds bad)

Hee hee! I learned to close my eyes very early in my vaping experience also. Sure got my attention!
I wash my hands with capsaicin juice then I rub it in my eyes really good..I love that sensation of my eyes being burned out of my head in the morning
Yep, got it in my eye before. Now if I get any on my finger, I lick it off. Can't see wasting good juice...interesting burning effect. I don't advise doing this at home...leave it to the pros. j/k
