How many "bad" juices do you have sitting unused? What do you plan on doing with them?

[R211]

I have quite a bit of unused e-liquid bottles piling up that I really hate the flavor on. Mostly darker liquids like a Rocky Road I picked up, an Almond Joyee, and some coffee flavors. For some reason they have a really strong, chemical taste that I cannot stand.

How many flavors do some of you avid vapers out there have just laying around? Do you just toss a flavor if you don't like it, keep it to see if you may like it down the road, give it to a friend?

Just curious because my collection of unused bottles is growing like crazy... it seems like with each flavor I find that I love, I find another that I hate.

I have 3 deadbeats in my cabinet at the moment, one of which literally almost made me vomit when I tried it.

Luckily, none of my flavors are "unvapeable". Will I be vaping "those" flavors lol? No.

Either find another juice I like to mix the yucky one with till it taste good or give it to a friend.

There is always someone who will happily take your juice!

I always end up mixing em down with something. Unless its a nutty flavor i can usually save it. Even if its a mil into 15 lol. I ran out of good juice recently so i mixed together what i had of some nasty juice. A 5 mil bottle of straight menthol i had as a freeby and all the juice i could get out of my empty bottles. Wasnt great but the menthol and other juices helped mute it enough to get by

I have yet to find a flavor I do not like, but I found that 150 juice order I was not going to be able vape because 50% PG is too much for me. No flavor, super dry and couldn't inhale beyond mouth... Now I have DIY juice coming so I can do 15-20% pg. Hate that stuff.
The pg isn't going to waste because when money allows. I'll grab some vg and fix them. Don't know how people seem to vape 50% or higher PG, unanimously. It's like your either at 50/50 or 100vg. People are wierd.

I make my boyfriend vape it. I don't like wasting anything and he is not picky. Today, he realized he loves a fruit punch that tastes like cough syrup. Hate that fruit punch, love that man.

PIF them. There are many people who may like them or are simply in need of eliquid and are not too choosy. You can donate them or swap them for samples of other juices.

Pay It Forward - PIF

yeah, I try to mix them in with others, for instance I got that Pineapple flavor I got from MBV, and I think they accidentally shipped 100%PG instead of 100%VG....however, tho I can't vape it by itself, the taste is wonderfully tart and I usually throw some into my lemon/menthol mix....makes it really tasty.

I also gave a bottle of a mix of tobacco flavored juice to my landlord, tasty smoky goodness, but too high on PG, for my taste/throat.

 

[sda2010]

I give them away on ECF trade/swap. A few dollars in shipping cost isnt much, and you make someones day. (Like Katya said)

 

[ShariR]

I suggest that you trade your juices with other ECF members in PIF Forum. This way they find a new home and you may find a new juice you love. Here are the links. Read the first page of the threads for the rules and instructions on how this works. It is a nice way to share and helps to keep costs down. Please do not throw them away.

This is fun. I have been able to try a lot of different flavors and vendors this way for just the cost of postage.

Thankfully in my short time vaping, I have not got anything that is unvapable to me. I have some that arent as high on my list as others, but nothing I cant take for a tank full here and there.

 

[DocTonyNYC]

I save my "bad" juices for those unfortunate times when I have a case of vapor's tongue. That way I feel like I'm not wasting them.

For some reason, your post reminded me of the nursery rhyme. . . "Jack Spratt could eat no fat. His wife could eat no lean. So, between the two of them, they wiped the platter clean."

Great question!

My husband and I were always searching for that perfect juice and ended up with a pile of what we feel are really gross juices. Very early on, I ordered a 120 mL of a tobacco juice that was supposed to be like Marlboro, and it has this weird chemical taste that neither of us could get past. It's been "steeping" for 3-4 months now because I just can't stand the thought of throwing it out. I tried it again last week just to see if it got better, but there's no hope for it. Mostly the juices we have tried and don't like are tobacco flavors, but a few fruits too. At least we learned after that big bottle and only started ordering 10 mL or sample size.

It turns out, we never did find that perfect flavor and, after investing so much in juice we didn't like, we started DIY and haven't looked back. We love our own juices way more than any we ever bought.

I'll have to check out the PIF threads after I have enough posts so I can pass these on.

I know several people who always appreciate free juice. I just throw anything I don't like into a baggy and hand it off whenever I see one of them.

The only juice I've thrown away, is juice that kills atties. It would be unfair to pass those on.

 

[Vaslovik]

Oh gosh I have a shoe box full of them! Some of them have no labels, and I have no idea what's in them. Ugh! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them, maybe put them on a closet shelf as desperation juice for when times get hard, or the economy crashes.

When I first started vaping, I preferred really strong citrus and menthol flavors. I think decades of smoking had destroyed my taste buds. Anyway, I tried one of the old ones recently and not only did it make me cough, but it smelled and tasted like orange pine-sol. I gave it away to a co-worker who just starting vaping and she liked it!

So, yeah, I give away my old yucky flavors to newbies!

 

[dice57]

I had a couple of juices that I couldn't vape, to sweet or just sucked. Ended up tossing the juice but saved the bottles, and filled them up with my own brew. Was one of the reasons I decided to go DIY juice. Grew tired of playing juice roulette and wanted my own custom blends. So it wasn't a total waste. lol.

 

[TXCherry]

I have a couple that I plan to mix with other juices, and I have a couple that I plan to pass on to friends. I didn't care for the vanilla ice cream flavor I bought recently, but it turned out to be my friend's favorite flavor. To each his own - pay it forward.

 

[Valanda]

Luckily, my local vape shop allows customers to test flavors before buying a bottle. They also mix PG/VG to order and nicotine strength to order. So, the only flavors I have to get rid of are because my tastes changed.
