Whelp, I was filling 15mL tubes with 50mg/ml juice using a syringe which was obviously too thick without the needle and when I pulled the syringe off I got a nice sized glob in my eye, immense pain and 20 mins of flushing later here I am and trust me I'm never mixing juice without goggles again. My eye is still very red but not as red as before, not gonna deal with the hospital or anything flushing should do but make sure to take all precautions because you don't want to learn the hard way... Trust me.
Thanks for the down votes, just trying to let people know that it is indeed possible to get juice in your eye if you are stupid like me... trying to save people from the agony I just went through, oh and if anyone wants to see how red my eye was I'm willing to post a picture.
I have chronic dry / red eyes mainly from wearing contacts. Nothing serious but I generally keep a bottle of visine on me that I use throughout the day. Last month I also put a 10ml ejuice bottle in the same pocket... its cap happened to be just like the visine bottle and I suppose out of habit (okay stupidity) I quickly unscrewed it and squirted it right into my eye without looking at the bottle... which happened to not be the visine. Worst part is I was at work and let out it pretty loud scream freaking out all my coworkers. Though they eventually had a good laugh at my expense when I explained my idiocy. Good times.
I see your ejuice in the eye, and will raise you super glue... This happened decades ago, but, my mother had just had cataract surgery, and we were in a hurry to leave... She asked my father to get her eye drops, and they were on her nightstand, right next to an identical bottle of super glue.... Yeah. So bloop bloop in the eye. That was an er trip. Thankfully no permanent damage ... But, let this be a lesson to you, kids... Label yer shit.
I hope you're ok now, for everyone else: I work in health and safety, decent clear goggles are a $5 investment and should be part of your kit if you're working with NIC. And ffs keep your containers and surfaces clean, you're inhaling this stuff.
So seperating your NIC into dropper bottles isn't such a bad idea. Unlucky.
I separate mine into unicorn bottles. Keep one bottle out and freeze the rest.
hehe I always blow out my driptips when refilling my tank, one time it got in my eye and it hurt like a bitch (sort of like rubbing chili in your eye if you ever tried that, not fun). Now I close my eyes when I do it.
One benefit of using glasses - always got protection for stuff like this.
PS: Don't use regular glasses in a industry setting, they will just shatter and send glass shards in your eyes instead.
...and this is why to not use syringes.
My pipettes cause more splashing than my syringes do. They would also never handle VG based nic.
I use a dropper bottle w/ VG based nic and don't have a problem. Just need to let it heat up.
Not that I have any dog in this race, i've also never had a problem with syringes.
Indeed, I'm all out of large pipettes so I figured I'd go for the syringe to fill.... bad idea
get a scale mate, it's so convenient
Yup takes me 3 minutes to do a 230ml bottle now. VG and nicotine always stay the same (about 175g and 10g of 72mg for 60/40 3mg) so thats quick to add then the only variable is the concentrates and then fill the rest of the way with PG. My bottles are big enough to just pour vg and pg straight in with no worries and most of my concentrates are dropper bottles so thats easy also. Never going back to mixing by volume. My scales cost me like £6 and are accurate down to 0.01g if its under 500g.
Yeah they do, think it is about five minutes which is more than enough time.
