I have 160ml of e-liquid that I don't want, what can I do?

[edotman]

Hey guys, posted this in the UK forums but really hoping to get some more advice from here!

Firstly, Im a total noob to all this, I basically have just started vaping and for some reason my craving for nicotine has completely gone, however I still enjoy the feel/taste of vaping and wish to do so with 0mg strength nicotine. However I got way too excited at the beginning and now I have 70ml of 18mg nicotine, 40ml of 24mg nicotine and 50ml of 6mg nicotine which I do not wish to use.

I'm assuming that to sell nicotine I would require some kind of license, I definitely dont wish to throw it away as someone could make some good use of it, does anyone have any recommendation as to what I can do? I would prefer to receive something in return for it as its £50 worth of liquid, anyone with any advice please let me know!

I'd suggest keeping it for awhile to make sure you're not going through a "phase" and then be tempted to burn some tobacco to get your nicotine.

After that I would see about passing it on to someone else. Maybe with a starter kit? Spread the vape....

Yeah I'm probably going to be keeping a little bit of 18mg liquid just as a safety backup, but I really dont need 160ml of e-liquid that I wont be using, unfortunately passing it onto someone else for free is probably the least desirable outcome right now as I am seriously strapped for cash and I have spent £50 on all this liquid!

I got a few friends who have expressed interest in e-cigs so I may ask them if they're interested, but other than that is there nothing I can really do in order to trade/sell this e-liquid?

I am ignorant of the laws in the UK for nicotine.

Here in the states it is not a controlled substance, at these strengths, so it can be bought and sold nearly like water.

I'm willing to bet that here in the UK we have some big law banning the sale of anything containing nicotine without a license haha, man this is seriously frustrating, all this e-liquid I spent so much money on, and I can't even do anything with it

Might want to post the question in the Europe sub as they would be more likely to know what laws apply than some guy in a windowless office in Indiana taping on a phone?

I really am getting annoyed with this office...

i had the same problem , but worked around it by cutting it with plain VG just dont go too far or you loose the flavor i also after cutting it i would blend it with other flavors like if it was 24mg of pineapple add my vg to it then add like a 6mg of coconut it works well and yes at times of stress i may opt for the full 24mg hope this helps

join the club! i have at least 100mL of various vapes that i dont particularly care for. i should probably list them in the classifieds or PIF.

lol basically im going to have to accept that these juices are here to stay and i cant do anything about them

I cut a lot of my early impulse purchases (which was a LOT) with VG and added a shed load of flavour concentrate, which got rid of a load of it (I like you cut my nic very quickly although I'm not at 0mg yet, I currently vape anywhere between 4 and 8mgs now - which isn't bad for a once 30 a day roll your own kind of gal). About 80mls I gave away in random acts of kindness to those more needy than me (one friend has had most of that along with a nearly brand new screwdriver as they just got made redundant and thier last Ego batts and atty was gasping its last). But that still left me with easily 40mls or so, which I traded with a DIY mixer who liked my flavours (and strength) in return for an equal amount of home mixed taster samples in 5ml and 10ml bottles, which has saved me a fortune in concentrates and premixes as I got to taste a whole host of flavours which I would have bought to try and then a lot of which would not make it into my everyday vape box but instead would have sat languishing in the bottom of a drawer somewhere instead.

My first thought would be see if you can trade or pay it forward, rather than selling it; I've done that with kit too, the vaping community is one of the most selfless and generous communities I have ever come across, I can almost guarantee it will come back to you before you know it.

Send them to meeeeee lol

Interesting stuff Taramc, I was also on around 30 a day and I was also smoking roll-ups (Cutters Choice), maybe the slightly higher purity of the tobacco in rolling baccy as opposed to tailored cigarettes could be a reason why we find it easier to drop nic levels.

Thing is I am making a conscious effort to cut down, but having tried a few times before, the only experiences I have had were of me being very, very irritable and having some horribly intense cravings. However I've read a bit of Allen Carr's 'Easy Way' book and I was so impressed with the arguments he puts forwards that its really helped almost eliminate the craving for nicotines in the first place, there is no internal struggle/fighting, just a complete re-evaluation of my psychological approach to nicotine, very interest/effective stuff! Anyway life story over

So what you're saying is that I'm going to have to probably find someone here to trade with?

Send them to meeeeee lol

PM me my good man and perhaps we can work out some kind of deal, unfortunately as I said for now I'm not exactly sure about giving them away for free as I bought them 2 days ago, and spent £50 on em lol, aaaand unfortunately as I don't have a job right now that means I can't exactly buy the 0mg juices quite yet

Do you have a vaping club or a vapemeet in your area?

You could put it in classifieds. Read all of the stickies first.

LOL I was a Cutters Choice girl too, in fact it was the only tobacco I smoked, I used to be beside myself if for any reason it wasn't available because I really really didn't care for anything else.

When I went abroad to places where fags are cheaper, I think I was probably the only person who took tobacco into the country!!!

Yeah it was clearly the best tobacco you could buy, GV, AL and the rest of em just reaaally weren't doing it for me, if my local shop was out of CC then i'd go to every shop till I found a pack! Although I gotta say I was always suspicious of how they made a 'naturally farmed tobacco' smell that good, no way does tobacco come out smelling that good, my cousin was sure they sprayed it with something.

Also just to let you all know I managed to get the unopened juices exchanged for the same thing but in 0mg! big thank you to VapourRoom and EASYLiquids for sorting me out!!
