I've seen all the cool objects we use in our vaping and how we utilize the objects around us.... But how about the opposite?

What vaping things have you used in OTHER ways..?

For instance: I use the drops in my homemade ice cream and lately I've been putting capellas coconut drops in my coffee every morniing.

I also just read this cool tidbit on loranns site:
Turns out we love the scent of vanilla, but mosquitoes and gnats don't! LorAnn has customers all over the country who purchase our Vanilla fragrance for use as a repellent for small flying insects. Just dab a little on your neck, arms & legs and say good bye to flying pests!

What are your cool tips and tricks?

SNO_BALL SYRUP 4 cups of sugar OR Splenda type diabetic sweetner.2 cups water mix well and boil about 4 - 5 minutes. Cool then add 3 Tablespoons flavoring to EACH cup of syrup OR you can add 1 packet if unsweetened Koolaid mix.The ice dilutes and I like alot of flavor so you may want to "tweak" your amounts a little. I got just around 3 cups of syrup so I made 3 different flavors. Run a search on Snoball syrup recipes and you will find some other methods and there is some additive (citric acid?) that can be added for tartness. Good Luck! I'm just thrilled the Splenda version turned out every bit as good as the one with sugar!

Okey dokey, I'm just gonna admit what I use my driptipped eGo with menthol juice as a breath freshener!!!

If I overfill with 1 or 2 extra drops and touch the tip to my mouth, BAM, a teeny bit of fresh menthol stays on tongue or lips.

Now don't try this at home, you newbies! :) It took me many accidental nasty mouthfulls (or is that mouthsfull?) of tear rendering, nose running, throat burning, juice tastings to learn this delivery technique.

Just sayin', Lea............. works for me. :facepalm:
 
I use VG for my cakes- to make gumpaste and fondant
PG for when my goats or cattle get ketosis
syringes for administring iron shots and pennicillian shots to the animals
the holder for all my carto's and atties will hold .380 shells perfectly
the surge protector used to be for my printer and cell phone,
hurcules hooks were for hanging things on the walls,not removing plastic washers or mouthpeices.
the box I rest my PV (s) in used to hold .270 shells
toothpics used to be for holding bacon around jalapinos
the small jelly jar used to hold homemade jelly, now it holds used/dirty fluxo's and atties.

my side table USED to be for the remote and my drink- now it holds ejuice and batteries and chargers and various other sundries.

snoBALLS?
:confused: :unsure: you eat snow that was on the ground? :unsure: :confused:
As long as it's not YELLOW ! LOL!!! Seriously though snowcone ice is kind of chunky But snoball is shaved ice much softer than snocones. Lived out on a farm as a kid ;lots of pure white clean snow .My sis and I would each scoop up a bowl take it inside where our Mom would mix in sugar ,milk and a little vanilla. We liked it almost as much as the real thing! Years later when we moved to New Orleans my kids and I discovered.their snoballs. Kind of a regional thing ;some places put evaporated or condensed milk,soft-serve icecream and /or whipped treat.Oh I did forget some folks may know the sno-ball as Hawaian Ice. Cooling and yummy no matter how you get them!
