How to clean used plastic bottles??

[Jayrell]

So like most vapers, I have a nice collection of used empty or almost empty juice bottles. The ones that didn't get finished were just terrible nasty flavors. Getting into mixing my own why not reuse these bottles? What's the best way to clean them? I don't want my new mixed juice tasting like old crappy juice I didn't like thanks in advanced for all the help

Soap and water and rince well then let air dry. There will usually be a left over odor from the previous liquid that was in the bottle but it will not influence the taste or quality of what you put into it next.

Jayrell I know you've been glancing through my blogs but start doing some serious research. Here are my recommendations.

My blogs will give insight into all aspects of DYI, from steeping to what supplies to have on hand to a basic walk through mixing your first E-juice.

Then read hoosier's blogs. These blogs concentrate on fine tuning your mix and give insight on additives.

Then read Boletus's blog's. These blogs concentrate on formulation of nicotine bases regarding proper calculations methods for figuring Nicotine concentration as well as safety.

Then read Ginger's book "E-Cigarettes 102: DIY E-Liquid". It is a book which I've contributed to that delivers an in depth easy to follow guide in the art of DYI.

I recommend viewing VPLive Vape Team Episode #82: DIY Safety and bookmark it for future reference. It explains safety in all aspects of DYI.

I have found that some plastic will absorb flavoring, some not. All the cleaning in the world does not work for some plastics. But I did as Danny mentioned, then I determine if I smell anything, if not I use them, the rest are designated for target practice.

I don't even bother with the soap part. Just a rinse under hot water to get most out, a bit of a soak in hot fresh water and let air dry. Seems to do the trick nice.

Since I mostly use VG, I have way too much PG knocking around and use this to clean out old flavoring from bottles before washing with HOT water. Also use it for a quick cleaning of wicks and coils when rewicking/coiling is not an option. Find it works well.
