How do you dispose of finished-with kit?

[Shurbet101]

So when you're clearomizer has given up the ghost and you've ran out of liquid etc how and where do you dispose of this stuff?

I don't feel right just putting it in the bin!

I have tossed broken clearomizers in the bin. For batteries, I would look up any company in your area, to see if they recycle used electronics and batteries.

Luckily I've not had to deal with the battery thing yet, touch wood my 5 little pals and I are still going strong with no glitch -fingers crossed-

But yeah ok I'll just be a man about this and put my clearomizers in the bin, I feel like I'm polluting the atmosphere and causing global warming for some reason... Even though logic is telling me it will be sweet

The most convenient way to dispose of batteries is through your local community recycling or if you have them near you, to take them to Best Buy or Battery Mart.

If a tank comes apart you could recycle the parts and if it does not it is a bunch of plastic and metal that should just be thrown away.

A metal mech mod can be recycled.

A regulated mod contains electronics that probably can't be recycled and may contain heavy metals that do not do well in a landfill. Do what you do with other electronics.

The batteries contain Lithium, hence the name, which does not do well in a land fill. Most towns have some place to dump old batteries.

There is nothing really unusual about what we use. Get rid of it the same way you get rid of other similar stuff.

When I run out of liquid, I clean the bottle in hot, running water and reuse them. I either toss the spent heads or rebuild the coils (if they're Protank heads).

If it's the nicotine you are worried about getting into the soil, then you can give the clearomizer a wash in soapy water. if you need to separate plastic from metal in the recycle bins, you can try to take it apart.

That's a good idea!

Not to sound really silly but what do you reuse the bottles for? How do you get stuff back in those little tiny holes

You take the lid off depending on the type of bottle.

If you wash the bottle aren't you just polluting the water? Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. There is not enough residual nicotene left.

LOL... I reuse the smaller bottles too because I buy the big bottles and don't want to carry them around. How do I get the liquid into them? The same way the the liquid got in there in the first place - I pop the dropper top off, fill the bottle and replace the dropper.

So far this year this has been my total contribution to the land fill,

wasn't so nice and shiney when I tossed it.

I toss everything in the pond on the back of the property. Of course I have noticed some two headed fish and there is a 7 foot toad which ate neighbors poodle. Personally I think it is the radiation from Fukushima.

 

[Mitchdisaster]

batteries and electronics, I bring them into work where we have a method for proper disposal, plastic clearos and coil heads get tossed, all bottles get washed and put into my extra stuff to be reused for various purposes.

 

[EBates]

Pay it forward to a friend or relative interested in vaping. If it still works.

Top idea... Now to just convert some folk!

Hahaha! Yes I now realise I've overthought the whole thing...But on the off chance you're serious have you thought about creating a YouTube video about your findings? You could make millions... I see a documentary and a short tv series in your future... Maybe a talent contest if you can train the fish into synchronised swimming

That makes soooo much more sense... I was expecting you to say for moisturiser or face cream or something... Spent a good 10 minutes pondering how anything could get back in the bottle...
