Don't waste your juice!!!

[The Doc]

When you pull the worn out cart stuffing out of a cartridge to discard it, place the old cart stuffing into a 10cc syringe (no needle is required) and use the plunger/piston assembly to SQUEEZE out all the juice into a small jar. You will be surprized at how fast you can fill a small jar full of juice by doing this!

Doc, that is a great idea, I replace my cart wicks a lot, and there is a tremendous amount of juice even in a 'dry' one! No more messy fingers & juice washed down the drain. Some of it gets kinda brown, so usually don't save that.

Problem is that juice that comes into contact with cartridges, stuffing, syringes, fingers... So many places where bacteria can be transferred. That bottle of "saved" juice is a breeding ground for badness.

My advice, save your immune system, juice is not expensive enough to warrant this.

 

[Stephaniems]

Would a bit of alcohol fix this vodka, tequila something like that?

 

[Kate51]

would take too much to do any good, would make juice too watery, not viscous enough. jimvinny is right, I wouldn't put any re-claimed juice back into a bulk bottle, would be ok to use in a cart top-off, for sure.

my favorite juice is my mystery juice from squeezing old carts! omg it's smooth, tobacco'y, produces great vapor.

I squeeze about 6+ ml every 15 carts on clean up day

I just fill an empty bottle. Today I added a little pg to my mystery juice and was ticked because I watered it down.

the flavor is killer

I run two DSE601 epipes with HUGE carts. I also swap three DSE801 type attys between 2 modified Mini Pipes. I also run 4 or 5 of the VX2 attys...and I use ALL of my re-claimed juice to top off carts....and all I can end this message with is this one final statement (and trust me on this)..... Try it before you knock it!!

Often times with the rates and volumes that I vape,,, my carts are SHOT long before it gets brown, nasty or stale in any way....IF you are ever in this scenario....this works quite well indeed!

Interesting since propyline glycol kills bacteria.

And another:

To vaporize ANYTHING quickly and/or instantly requires extreme heat...the kind of heat that KILLS germs upon contact. Also, I keep all my equipment & tools very clean. I always use disinfected tweezers to pull the stuffing from the cart and place it in my 10cc syringe. I just placed several stuffings into my syringe and FILLED a little plastic 3cc bottle. I will be using this juice for topping off carts with no problems....and I will quite thoroughly enjoy it....as usual.

No need for vodka or tequila. Just keep your tweezers, collection bottle and syringe clean by flushing with alcohol after each multiple cart reclaiming session. The chemical proccess of vaporizing the juice will do the rest for you. PG disinfects to a good degree...AND you also kill germs whenever vaporizing (INSTANTLY BOILING) the juice (very basic chemistry).....no worries!

LOL - Funny

 

[The Doc]

Reclaimed juice is often times some of the most TASTY juice I vape!!!!

When was the last time you ran the gas tank in your car/truck/motorcycle/tractor TOTALLY DRY????

That fuel left in the bottom gets reclaimed MANY times and your engine still just keeps on running...does it not??

That's exactly what I do using a 5ml syringe. A pair of tweezers are also useful for handling the cartridge.

 

[STILLSMOK9]

I have tried it and the juice just looks dirty and nasty

 

[The Doc]

Oh, if I run across some that looks particularly unpleasant, I just squirt it right into the garbage can then clean the syringe...but that's the exception, not the rule. The atty will ONLY VAPORIZE THE LIQUID elements of reclaimed juice....not any solids or sediment....that portion stays or burns on the atty (WITHOUT VAPORIZING)...then you simply clean it off with your routine atty clean & burn.

I was just thinking.........have you ever heard the old clich'e....."put that in your pipe and smoke it"?

well, I have definitely heard it.......and I just did it....YUMMY!! Nothing like vaping leftovers!!! It's just like leftover pizza that you stick in the oven in the next day or two...sometime it's even BETTER than the first time around!!!

I just injected some reclaimed "mystery juice" into one of my many HUGE DSE601 epipe carts just to top it off...and what an incredibly smooth, tasty vape it was...mmmmmmm!!

I'll top off that same cart once or twice more with the last cc of reclaimed juice, VAPE IT ALL UP..........then I'll discard that particular DSE601 cart stuffing altogether, followed by a good atty clean & 2 short burns.

Killer indeeeeed...... It's like a Long Island Iced Tea...a bit of everything and it always goes down nice & smooth.

It's also like Maxwell House...good to the last drop

However it is NOT like KFC...finger lickin' good...I would never lick that stuff

Looks can be deceiving.
