All due respect to the extreme cuteness of the pics, I have a question: What to do with several unopened containers of various strengths of nicotine. It has been frozen for a couple of years and due to extenuating circumstances, I will never be able to use it. How do I dispose of it?

Well I got hooked on Fear the Walking Dead. Put it on my Trakt list so I will be able to stream it on Skystream without commercials if need be. HULU works pretty well at least for seeing shows you never had any idea they were on tv but the commercials the more I use it the longer they get. Started out with most of them being 30 sec now they are all 90 sec. Lots of pretty stupid people in this show, can't believe they are like this.

You could put it in the Classifieds.
Price it out or Give it...and you can ask for shipping (PIF Forum you have to pay the shipping)

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. So if I put it in the Classifieds and someone actually wants it what do I tell UPS is sloshing around in the package and also when they ask if there are any dangerous liquids what is the answer?

I wouldn't ship a liquid sloshing around. I would put it into a smaller unbreakable bottle, then seal it in plastic, then seal that in plastic, etc. Then bubble wrap/padding.

Although, personally I'ld rather not ship nicotine. I'ld just give to anyone close enough to pick it up in person.

But, I'm lazy. Is it a lot of nic? You could always save it to use as a pesticide.

The pesticide thing is a good idea. A single container is probably not what I want to do. There are about 10 containers (original plastic) and all in varying sizes. They are in the same containers they were shipped in to me still factory sealed and packed twice in air filled pillows. Probably about a gallon altogether of 36mg nic. I REALLY don't want to break those seals.

That's a lot of nic. And a lot of heavy liquid to ship. Shipping that much liquid could be expensive.

I wish there was an easy way to find people from west central Louisiana or far east Texas to see who might want it. You could list it in the Classies. But, not everyone reads the Classies.

You're only about 70 miles away from @Myrany. Maybe she'ld be interested or know someone who is. Y'all could just take a little 35 mile drive to meet in the middle.

Why are you never going to be able to use it?

I was making my own juice, making coils, etc., all those things that dedicated vapers do when I had to start hemodialysis. There were a few bumps in the road (couple of strokes, 3 months of in-center rehab, totaled my car, several hospital stays) that robbed me of good eyesight and steady hands. Too much time had passed to retain my skills. I accumulated the nic when the vapoapocalypse appeared on the horizon so I started collecting supplies to be self-sustaining Hospitals and institutions frown on vaping so I pretty much stopped completely. I am happy to say that I have kept my Provaris and can purchase good juice from Hoosier.

Awww, so sorry to hear about your problems. If you have an active Nextdoor site in your area you could even ask if there are any vaping people nearby who would want to come and pick it up. Or maybe even a local vape shop since it's still sealed?

I know what you mean. Lol! That's one I watch. It's better this season. They brought over a few people from the show it spun off from, The Walking Dead. FTWD just didn't get a great start because of the comparison. Much better this season.

I'd ask at a vape shop. They might know of someone who could use it.

I wouldn't even worry about it, just do it like the places you bought it and use either the med or large flat rate priority mail boxes, weight makes no diff. If your PO is anything like ours they really don't even look at it. I shipped an either large or med flat rate box of flavoring to DH and they didn't even look twice. I think when she got it one had leaked and the PO said something about that is smelled so good. No problems though. UPS is more expensive then those flat rate USPS boxes

I've been using premade juice from Fl and usually get 260ml at a time, they just ship it in a small flat rate, they don't even charge what the shipping actually costs, just $5 and I think the price has gone up to around $6. And as far as legality they don't really check, USPS is the safest even if it is something illegal, they have to have a federal search warrant to look inside. I did some reading up on it and USPS is the most lax on stuff.

Yep but I got so sick of commercials I started watching it on Skystream no commercials and no problem getting a stream in HD during the day, in the evening a little tougher to find a good HD stream but doable. The only thing I do like about HULU is live channels for NASCAR. Really not worth $40 a month just for that but I like checking out shows that I didn't even know existed also but don't think I'll switch.

Well bad news about Ginny. The doc just called me and said to expect her home feeling bad. When I asked why they said she has a mass on her left lung and a spot on her liver. and it looks like Cancer. Needless to say this is bad, she has to be on oxygen 24/7 and going to get in with a lung specialist next week. I don't know what we are going to do. This is not what we were hoping to hear. I'm really shook up right now so will talk later. Waiting for her to get home.
