E liquid on the skin..?

[intelicide]

Been off the stinkies 5 mths now...vision spinner and mini protanks rule

I keep reading on the juice bottles about getting juice on the skin is very very bad.

Why is it so bad...anyone?

congrates on 5months

I do believe its cos of the nicotine not 100% sure

all the ingredients aren't going to hurt you eliquid consists of:
pg
vg
flavouring
Nicotine

ive had plenty of ejuice over my hands and they are still attached.
if you do get some on you just wash your hands

Nicotine is absorbed through your skin - thats how the patches work. But if you wipe it off or wash it off fairly quickly it's not going to be a problem as far as absorption goes. If you get undiluted nic on you, then wash it off straight away, but normal juice isn't that much of a risk in my eyes.

After all, you're not exactly likely to put some on your hand and leave it there for any length of time…

It's never harmed me intelicide, but don't leave it there too long, have a wash.

It's the nic obviously, I flooded a new device this morning filling it with a syringe for the first time, i thought 'I'll get this bugger brimming cos I'm taking it to work' put it down to wash the needle out and when I came back to it it was juice almighty everywhere! Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

The same flippin atty this evening fell off the sofa and the glass smashed! (Thanks for the spares Super-Shiny) Apart from being gutted, I got covered in juice cleaning it up. Wash. Rinse. Hopefully don't repeat!

I'll wake up tomorrow alive though I reckon.

Nicotine is poisonous and can be absorbed through your skin, but I think you would need to bathe in eliquid to absorb the amount you would need for a fatality as it's not pure nic.

You have only had it a couple of days and you already broke a tank

Super-Shiny mate, you will always worry about your "children" even when they are grown up and have left home

Would certainly agree that the already diluted mix is not so much of a risk, but would still advise to wash off after any spillage etc.   I believe if you minimise this risk too much and take no notice of spills, the likelihood of you getting an allergic reaction will increase over time, and no one who wants to continue using nicotine wants that to happen (I don't think)...   so... imho always take the necessary precautions if you are in a situation where you can do so.  (This is coming from someone who never used to get any allergic reactions to anything until I passed the 40 mark, but can now spike an allergy to the most innocuous of stuff)!
