Cleaning a 30ml Bottle

[Vaping_Racoon]

Hi guys,

so I have a 120ml of nice juice a friend sold to me but I only have a gigantic
bottle for it, I need to clean up an old bottle of cigar flavored juice (really strong
scent and flavor) to transfer containers.

I was wondering how you guys would do this in order to completely erase the
other flavor..

I don't own an ultrasonic cleaner or any advanced tool like that.

Thanks alot

If plastic, I'd buy a new bottle...... But you could try soaking in alcohol or vinegar or bleach.

Alcohol and let dry thoroughly.

Yeah plastic bottles are really tough to get rid of a previous strong flavor , i have yet to find a way to completely remove all prior smells .

I have tried vinegar , baking soda with a long soak , dish soap etc.... I have not tried Vodka but if plastic i am not sure it's possible to neutralize it perfectly so you don't smell anything .

Ok thanks, I think I'll try to find some cheap bottles online

Hmm, I just rinse a bit until I find the bottle's ok (I use Halo's bottles and droppers for DIY). I don't think you really need more.

If I have a plastic jug with a stubborn smell in it I just toss it, they are cheap and easy to find. Its the glass ones I wash with soap and let air out. I keep the same type flavors in their perspective jugs and reuse them.

I only use glass, rinse with hot and cold water is all it takes and I use strong menthol

I have decent luck cleaning transparent clear plastic bottles by flushing with plain hot water, then soaking in water for a day, followed by several days of drying and airing out in the open. The several days of airing out is actually a moot point, since I have so many of those type of bottles in rotation. If they still carry strong aromas after that process, I toss 'em, but I toss very few. At any rate, I've yet to have any flavor transfer from bottles, even if they carried a little aroma.

The key is to store them in open air. I used to keep my cleaned bottles in ziplock bags, and when I opened the bag, a million little aromas would escape.

The milky white translucent plastic bottles seem more difficult to "de-aromaize" than the clear transparent ones, or maybe it's just me.

The plastic bottles.

Rinse well with warm water.
Put alcohol in them and let sit for a day.
Dump the alc and rinse again then as jambi said let dry for a couple of days with the lid off.
Works for me.
