What! Throw something away! Never, I though we are all supposed to carry all this extra baggage with us to the grave. Haha.

I have been able to pitch a few empty plastic bottles, but am holding on to about 500 empty carts of different types. And you never know when that odd leftover from the last mod will be the perfect part for then next one.

I have lots of stuff even as a newb.

All my atties are still working after a month. So the only "junk" I have is the initial purchase of one garbage e-cig (Which yes- I am reticent about throwing away). I've turned my Njoy stuff over to a friend.

But I have fluval, foam, polyfill, spare cartridges all over the place. Maybe 40 bottles of juice.

Feeling really good about not smoking too. THAT might be the only thing I actually have thrown away. I have no cigarettes, smelly ashtrays, smelly ash cups, and I smell all manly and nice.

Yes definitely. I have every usps box my stuff came in, every box my e-cigs came in, all of the nasty old carts i've used (which is weird cause I only drip now and will never use carts again) all of my old bottles, broken parts, old e-cigs that sucked and I'll never use again, all receipts and instructions, even all the packing peanuts! Haha. It's so strange cause I have NO problem throwing anything else away. I'm not a hoarder, I'm pretty organized and can't stand when it's cluttery in my house. Haha glad I'm not alone.

OMG LOL!!! I am not the only one! :lol:

As a newb, I just finished my 2nd bottle of juice a couple days ago - a 10 ml (the first was a 6 ml that I refilled a couple weeks ago - I rotate about 6 juices). I slid the empty over to the side of the table after knocking it over a couple times. Yet it refuses to to go flying into the trashcan! :laugh:

I have a 30 ml that is 1/2 full so I guess I better start considering creating a "used" storage container for the empty bottles, older atties, and flaky auto batts cause the "current" one is full. I still have all my receipts and the biz cards that came with the packages, although I did manage to toss out the boxes. :p
 
I used to save it all...used cartos, condom ends, the silicon caps for the regular carts, bottles, bubble wrap mailers from the PIF, the rubber ends from cartos, etc etc etc....Once i ended up with more "junk" stuff than good stuff, I gave away what i could and tossed the rest. Sounds wasteful, but #1 i have never needed anything i threw away and #2 no more junk leads to a happier wife and a happy wife= a happy life.

We held on to everything for a very long time but finally began selling on the classifieds and passing on 510 batteries to our son when we took up the eGo.
BUT, I have a drawer full of 510 attys in various stages of workability, empty bottles, mailing packages, and I just found we still have a bunch of our very first RN4081 SmokeStik (four chargers, 10 batteries and five atomizers).
 
Oh PLZ dont throw anything away!!! LOL...my hubs is a modder and can almost always use things, and Bottles I take what I can..... boil the lil buggers! send it our way before u think about pitching them!

Tell that to my guy. After15 or so years, he STILL doesn't get it.

And yeah, we haven't thrown away a single bottle or carto yet. Soon I'm gonna be walking through goat paths in my own home.

Can a beggar get in here?

Wanting to do a little DIY mixing and need a couple of 10ml bottles. I'll pay for shipping.

I bought one from my local supplier at the flea market today. Paid $1.00 for it (yeah, yeah, I know! Too much!). But I really wanted to make an experimental mix today. I got home and found out the bottle didn't have a drip tip. Now I'm going to have to take it back. Well, maybe I'll get my buck back...

PM me if you are willing to part with a couple of bottles.

Yah, I never really throw anything away when it comes to Ecigs, and I've found uses for almost everything. Cart condoms have been used in my mods, dead batteries...kinda wish I had more of em to swipe the connectors from, my bottles of eliquid were infinitely useful when I started doing DIY juice, old popped atomizers have been modified for testing mods, lots of things like that. Hell, my favorite mod (not my best or most powerful though) is my snusbox just for the novelty of having a snus tin that vapes.

There are several people on the forum that will take ALL broken e-cigs and accessories. Please pass them on. Some of these modders will fix stuff and pass it on to those who don't have the resources to purchase their own. They can be found at: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward/
For a couple of bucks shipping you can change a smoker to a vaporer!

Thanks.

I saw this thread and had to laugh because I also had a million carts and used cartomizers and dead attys, but just this week I decided this is out of control I'm never gonna use this crap and I kinda like new stuff so I finally pitched it all.This urge to save everything I think comes from a fear we all have that someone is gonna pull the plug on our suppliers and we will be left with nothing.
