For the love of everything that is wholesome could we not litter.I see cig butts thrown out a car window everyday in traffic.Gum stains on sidewalks that will not come out with any pressure washer.now I have to drive over these annoying dental floss cleaners when I ride my bike, the ones with two side and floss attached.Just how lazy are people that they floss in public and throw their used nasty stuff out on the public property?I like most love vaping but maybe the litter in why the rest of the people hate us.Maybe I got old, but see a real correlation with oral fixation and litter.

my favorite is having to step over a lake of spit every time i walk into a store.
When I was about 18, I was driving down the interstate heading back to college and threw a cig .... out the driver's side window, and it ended up in my backseat. Oops... Karma???
I used a coke can in my car (or, later, one of those smokeless ashtrays that sit in your cupholder) from then on.

Could agree with you more, people that litter are jerks, plain and simple.
I used to squeeze the remaining tobacco out of my butts and put them in my pocket until I could find a trash can.
Yeah, it used to make me smell like crap, but whose fault was that?

Never used the ash tray in my car. Did however use a regular one (rubber-band held it in place). Then I had this little pouch thing made especially for cig butts which was nice since you could seal it and not smell the odor.
I have to admit that I was not perfect and I did use the ground---my biggest grip then and now is the people who toss and let them burn.
The great thing about vaping is I don't have litter. I drip so there is no filler contaminated with nicotine getting thrown anywhere. Of course there are empty bottles but who in the devil throws those away!!!
I've also kept all my carts and have a place to dispose of dismantled batteries.

I will come clean, my idea of recycling is to allow the dump to figure it out long term,so flaws are aplenty my way.Smoking and vaping have always been a part time thing for me so littering was never really a factor as I only did it on going out nights so to not litter was quite easy, I guess.But to watch regular people litter cig butts on there own property is a mind blowing experience, that can not be explained.
That was me! I used to carry a ziplock sandwich bag with me. I'd field dress my butts and store them in there until I found a proper receptacle. Started that practice in my backpacking days.
Tossing butts into the world always made me feel bad when I was a smoker. What would drive me nuts is at the courtyard where many students would go to smoke they had 2 ashtray/garbage can combo things. One on each end of the courtyard. There would be more butts on the ground than in the ashtrays. I mean COME ON! They are right there yet you still toss it on the ground when you are done? That is one major (hidden?) benefit of E-cigs. Not only cleaner air, but a cleaner earth as well!
I throw them away. I'll sometimes re-use the smaller bottles once,if I don't have a clean one available at the time. But I don't like doing it. The larger ones(30ml and up) I won't reuse at all. It's just too easy to contaminate the tops and then introduce bacteria into the bottle if you're not very careful. I handle syringes and needles for a living and am quite adept with them after 20 years of practice. But I still contaminate a needle on occasion. Bottles are cheap, so I just prefer to go that route.

I clean them in alcohol. If you don't want them, put them in a baggie and send to me!!!
