What happens if you drink e liquid? What to know if you own a Crystal Prime Deluxe 18000

Swallowing vape liquid can cause nicotine poisoning, and it should be treated as an emergency, especially for a child or a pet. If someone has swallowed it and they have collapsed, are struggling to breathe or have a seizure, call 999. If you're unsure, call NHS 111. Don't try to make them sick.

The  Crystal Prime Deluxe 18000  comes with the liquid sealed inside, so you aren't meant to handle it at all. Even so, devices get dropped, chewed or cracked, and a household with children or pets needs a plan. This guide covers what can happen, what to do and how to store a device sensibly.

What happens if someone swallows vape liquid?

Most vape liquid contains nicotine, and nicotine is a poison when swallowed in the wrong amount. The effects depend on how much was swallowed, the strength of the liquid and the size of the person. Children and pets are much more at risk because they're small.

It's impossible to say from the outside how much is too much. That's why the advice is always the same: treat any swallowing of vape liquid as serious, and get medical advice straight away, even if the person seems fine.

What symptoms should you look out for?

Symptoms can start quickly or take a little while. They may include:

•  Feeling or being sick 

•  Stomach pain 

•  Dizziness or a headache 

•  A fast heartbeat 

•  Sweating, or drooling in small children 

•  Confusion or unusual sleepiness

More serious signs include trouble breathing, collapsing, going floppy or having a seizure. If you see any of these, call 999 straight away. Don't wait to see whether things settle.

What should you do straight away?

NHS guidance for swallowing something harmful is clear and simple. Here's how it applies:

• Call 999 or go to A&E if the person has collapsed, stopped breathing, has severe breathing difficulty or has a seizure. Don't drive yourself.

• Call NHS 111 if you're not sure whether what they swallowed is harmful. Describe what happened and when.

• Don't try to make them vomit. The NHS warns they could choke and stop breathing.

• Don't give them anything to eat or drink unless a medical professional tells you to.

• Keep the packaging. Take the device, pod or packaging with you so doctors can see what it was.

For a pet, call a vet straight away and take the packaging with you.

What if the liquid gets on skin or in eyes?

These are general first aid habits, not anything specific to the listing:

•  On skin: wash the area with soap and water as soon as you can 

•  In eyes: rinse gently with clean water and get medical advice 

•  On clothes: take off anything soaked and wash it separately

If anyone feels unwell afterwards, call NHS 111. Nicotine can pass through skin, so don't just wipe and forget.

Why are children and pets at higher risk?

Small bodies feel the effects of nicotine much more strongly. Bright colours and fruity flavours can also make devices look like toys or treats.

•  Small children put things in their mouths and may chew a device 

•  Pets are drawn to sweet smells and may chew pods or batteries 

•  Older children may be curious and try to open a device

The simplest protection is to keep devices where children and pets can't reach them, every time.

What is actually in vape liquid?

Vape liquid usually contains propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavourings and, in most products, nicotine. Some of these ingredients are used in food, but that doesn't mean they're meant to be swallowed in this form.

If you'd like to compare nicotine strengths and ingredients across the range, you can browse the e-liquids at Vape Spot Wholesale and read the labels carefully.

Does a prefilled device lower the risk?

A little, yes. The liquid sits inside a sealed pod or tank, so swallowing it is unlikely unless the device is damaged, leaking or deliberately opened. GOV.UK guidance also says nicotine containing products or their packaging must be child resistant and tamper evident.

That helps, but it isn't a guarantee. Packaging can be thrown away, and a cracked pod can leak. A sealed device still needs to be kept out of reach.

Shops and buyers who like the ready filled format can browse more prefilled pods to compare styles.

What does the Crystal Prime Deluxe 18000 listing say?

Here are the main details from the listing:

•  Puffs: up to 18,000 per device 

•  Battery: 650mAh built in, with Type C charging 

•  Nicotine: the FAQ says the most common version is 2% (20mg), and mentions nicotine       free options, but the listing doesn't show which strength you'll get 

•  Coil: 1.2Ω mesh coil 

•  Liquid: 25ml prefilled 

•  Flavours: around 35 named flavours plus a Mixed Box, although the page says 40 plus 

•  Price: £49.98 for a Box of 10, about £5.00 a device

The listing doesn't give any storage or child safety advice, so the habits below are general ones. Anyone comparing battery sizes and charging across other devices can browse the range of rechargeable vapes.

How should you store the device at home?

Good habits make accidents far less likely.

•  Keep devices and spare boxes in a high cupboard or a lockable box 

•  Don't leave them in bags, coat pockets or on low tables 

•  Keep them in the original packaging until you use them 

•  Never decant, open or tamper with a pod or device 

•  Charge them somewhere children and pets can't reach

If you have a box of 10, store the spares out of sight and take just one out at a time.

What should you do if a device leaks or cracks?

Stop using it. A cracked or leaking device is no longer sealed, so the liquid can reach skin or surfaces.

•  Wear gloves or use a tissue, and wipe up any liquid 

•  Wash your hands with soap and water 

•  Put the device somewhere out of reach, then dispose of it properly 

•  Contact the supplier if it arrived damaged

The page lists a 30 day returns policy, so keep your order details and photos handy.

What UK rules should you check before buying?

GOV.UK guidance says nicotine e-liquids can be no stronger than 20mg/ml, nicotine vape tanks can hold no more than 2ml, and nicotine refill containers can hold no more than 10ml. Products also have to be notified to the MHRA before they can be sold.

Since the single use vape ban on 1 June 2025, a vape also needs a rechargeable battery, a refillable or replaceable pod, a replaceable coil where one is fitted, and refills that are available separately. A rechargeable battery on its own doesn't prove a device is compliant.

This listing states a rechargeable battery, but it gives a 25ml liquid size, which is far above 2ml, and doesn't explain the difference. Check the packaging and the MHRA notification for the exact version you receive, and don't treat a product description as proof of compliance.

What should you know about nicotine and health?

Nicotine is addictive, and vaping can involve health risks. The long term effects are still being studied. The listing says the product isn't suitable for non smokers, under 18s, or anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, and the site advises against use with cardiovascular disease or seizure disorders.

Some people notice a dry mouth, throat irritation, coughing, headaches or dizziness. If symptoms last, stop using the device and speak to a healthcare professional. Adult smokers who want to quit can ask a stop smoking service for support.

Keeping your stock and your home in order

Now that you know what to do in an emergency and how to store devices, the next step is planning how many to keep around. Whether you're buying for yourself or keeping a shop stocked, fewer, well stored boxes are easier to keep out of reach.

What is the difference between wholesale and retail?

Retail is when you buy one or two items from a shop at the normal shelf price. Wholesale is when you buy in bigger packs, usually boxes, straight from a supplier, so each item costs less. Shops buy this way so they can sell on to customers, and many everyday buyers use it too.

•  Retail: single items, normal shelf price, bought from a shop 

•  Wholesale: boxes or bulk packs, lower price per item, bought from a supplier

Why can buying wholesale work out better?

Buying wholesale can save you money and effort, as long as you'll really use what you buy. Here's why it often works out better:

•  Lower price per device: boxes usually cost less per item than buying one at a time 

•  Fewer orders: one box can cover weeks or months of use 

•  Steady supply for shops: shelves stay stocked without repeat trips 

•  Wider choice: more flavours and brands in one place 

•  Easy to start small: with no minimum order, you don't have to buy a huge amount

Retail still makes sense if you only want to try one flavour. Wholesale tends to win once you know what you like, or when you're stocking a shop.
