Brief Answer:
No!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this e cigarette liquid that dropped on your lips. even if you swallow it, it is not dangerous. That is why people actually inhale it while smoking. It is glycerine meant to help vaporize the nicotine in ecigarette and as such it has no toxic effect. The quantity also means you actually run no risk from this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
