New member looking to quit vaping

[MamaKida]

Hi. *waves* I've kind of lurked about the forum without an account for a while, but finally got around to making one. I guess I'm a little different to most people here - whilst many are starting on their vaping journey, I'm coming to the end of mine. I originally started vaping to keep tabs on my eating disorder, to last me through fasts and such. I hadn't smoked before - I started vaping no nicotine ejuice for the flavours, to curb cravings. Now I'm looking at recovery, I'm also looking to quit e cigarettes for good.

I've got a few questions about disposal of e-cigarettes though, and I was wondering if anyone here had any answers.

1. What is the safest/most environmentally friendly way of disposing of rechargable ecigs and cartomizers?

2. Is there anything to be done about unused/barely used ecigs? I have several unused cartomizers and some barely used 510 automatic batteries to get rid of, and I'm not sure if I should just dispose of them, or if there's some way I can recycle them or hand them to someone else.

Thanks for any help. <3

Try and see if you can find any electronic waste take backs, that will either recycle or dispose of unwanted electronic items in an environmental friendly way. As for unwanted gear it is at your discretion should you choose to give it away, sell it, or dispose of it. On this site unless you go through the classified section you can not sell, barter, trade of giveaway items. My advice find a friend who smokes, and offer up your goodies.

Save a life, find a friend who smokes and give it to them!

You can safely dispose of batteries by taking them to a battery disposal place.

There is a PIF section on the forum where you can offer to give away anything you don't want. Once you have 5 posts you can post there.

Thank you everyone! I wasn't certain if I could throw them out with my other batteries.

I'll look at the PIF forum, and post there once I've got enough posts under my belt. I didn't want the ecigs to go to waste - sounds like a good idea to me.

This is why I love the Vaping community, even though this member is going to end their journey no one judged them.
Nothing but Love for you people! And good luck to you Mamakida =)

Do you have a Lowes or Home Depot in town? They have bins to recycle batteries used on power tools. Good of a place as any, I guess, if you're not paying it forward. Good luck on your recovery.
