LinksZelda21 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) So, interesting story for you guys. While i was walking to my class, I was dripping into my ecig, like normal. What happened next i have no idea. The bottle just exploded, top coming off and spilling liquid all over my big kazoo, hands, and jacket. My first instinct was to run for a bathroom and wash my hands off, and an hour later, im feeling a bit better. I was freaking out, and i had a test to boot. " It was a 30ml bottle of my favorite eliquid which i am sad to say had to go in the garbage. Thew real reason im coming here is with a couple of questions, which are: Will my device be okay with e liquid permeating it? (i couldn't clean it cuz i was worried about absorbing nicotine into my skin at the time) And is there any way to prevent something like this from happening again? (the 30ml bottle i had gets hard to squeeze when its running low but i couldn't transfer it over to a small bottle) And should i be worried about the nicotine that got on my hands? (It was about a quarter of the bottle) Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks. Edited March 4, 2011 by LinksZelda21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easilyamused Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 first off, about the nicotine that got on your hands... i would not worry, the nicotine can transfer into the skin but with the liquids and such it would have a much slower absorption rate, so doubtful much if any got into your blood stream... as for the device, im willing to bet it will be just fine after a good wipe down and blowing out of the atty .... meanwhile, did you know that studies show that people who use nicotine before a test do in fact have better concentration and performance many people keep little travel size bottles with them for taking places, you might want to try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinksZelda21 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 thanks amused, i gotta invest in some smaller bottles. Haha i was freaked out during my test, but i felt like i did good. The worst part is the liquid.. i wasted like 15mls thats all over the floor of my campus now =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoluvr Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Wow that blows! So sorry. I think you and your eGo will be fine though. Sounds like the nozzle of the bottle was maybe a little clogeged or maybe you had it up against the atty/carto whatever... also, - try not to squeeze to hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 If its a manual battery, it will be fine. What sucks is that you lost so much of your favorite juice. I do find that after a while (several weeks) my juices get thicker. I wonder why that is? I am hoping someone here with experience can answer that question. Yep, Easy is right about the nic intake before a test. It's like eating a choc. candy bar before a test. Caffeine and nicotine are both stimulants, they help jump-start the brain. Hope you did well on your test despite your juice catastrophe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYVAPE Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've had that happen before.... so now I make sure and take a needle/syringe and poke down into the tip. Sometimes the holes are just way to small. This helps open it up big enough to use w/o blowing up in your face! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I would get a couple really small bottles to take with you when you go out. I don't know if you tried them, but cartomizers are really nice to use when out and about. Eliminates the need to drip every 5-7 draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinksZelda21 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 thanks for your comments everyone, ive used cartomizers and dont mind them, but the fact remains that i think the 30 ml bottles were the problem. When they get to the very bottom you have to squeeze them so tightly. As i said ill take these suggestions and do my best to prevent this from happenin lol.
