Do you wear gloves when handling juice?

[MarkS]

I've noticed that all the juices have a warning that they are toxic if coming into contact with your skin, so wondered if it is advisable to wear latex gloves when refilling Carto, Clearo's etc etc?

The reason I ask is in all the videos I have seen everyone seems to use their bare hands, but when I refill I can't help but get a little on my skin.

I do wash them straight after refilling with soap and water, but do wonder if that is enough?

The concentrations in pre mixed juice aren't anything to worry about too much.
Just don't lick your fingers if you've got juice on them 

It's mainly for when you are mixing and handling very high concentrations of pure nicotine and can absorb it through your skin giving yourself nicotine poisoning.

If it isn't enough then I'll be snuffing it any time soon. I don't think I ever lash enough around myself to warrant the wearing of gloves.

I most certainly would if I were mixing my own juices, though.

I just wash my hands Mark, or keep a packet of cheapo baby wipes handy to mop up any spills!

I think if your mixing your own and using above 36mg or so, it would be prudent to wear gloves, but I don't worry about spilling a bit of vaping strenght liquid on myself!

I do make sure that any spillages are mopped up properly as I wouldn't want it to come in contact with my animals who have no nicotine tolerance!

As has been said, at pre-mixed concentrations it's not a problem for adult humans. There are forum members who test a new juice not by dripping it but by tasting a drop

I bought some of these for mopping up minor spills, also cleans your mods really well

I don't mix juice, so don't worry about gloves. I do taste it. I like the taste of some. It's best to have a drink after though because it does sting your tongue after a while. Never worried about getting in on my hands etc. But in the eye does sting Doesn't everyone lick the syringe after filling stuff? ???

Your minor spills are obviously more minor than mine 
Those alcohol swabs are great for keeping connectors clean and drip tips!

I just need something bigger for spills, hence value baby wipes

Yes, they are very small, but for when you get a bit of juice on your fingers or whatever, they're really good

If you tip over an entire bottle, you're on your own

Of course Jen, I keep forgetting you're relatively new here!  My clumsiness is legendary 

Still at least i'm armed now with my alcohol swabs and baby wipes
