Today I donated my old and unused kit to a local E-Cig store. The purpose was to give them away to those that cannot afford good reliable kits. Or those who have damaged their kits due to an accident and need an emergency replacement.

I've come up with an idea which is similar to what I have done today, but an online and international version of it.

Basically set up a page for people that want to donate their old and unused kits.
I understand that after use of a device people prefer to sell it and put the money towards a new one. But I'm sure people have random bits lurking around, for example old Ego battery's and atomisers ect.

Due to many of the users on this forum being all over the globe. I know collecting anything won't be as easy as walking down the road, so obviously there will be P&P to be paid. But again it would be good to set up a network where people can search locally for anyone donating.

Please bare in mind that this is a brief idea I have come up with, but I'm interested to read other users thoughts and opinions of this.

It's a nice sentiment in theory to help others out but vape shops just help people out of their money. Just as one example, the ejuice that people pay $20-$25 for a 30ml bottle costs me 10 cents to make myself. The glass bottle costs me more than the juice! Don't get me wrong because making a buck is the American way but I hold no illusion that the average vape shop is suddenly going to become charitable. That said, I have no problem giving away my unused vape gear to others that can't afford to pay the retail prices.
