Probably a really bad idea, but has anyone tried it?

So I have all these little bottles of juice that I don't care for, but being a miser it is hard for me to throw anything away. When I do scrap something, I will take out screws, bolts, nuts washers, and even nails (and straighten them) and put them in a coffee can in my garage. And you know, that coffee can has saved my bacon a few times when I needed something and didn't want to stop and go to the hardware store.

So I am looking at all this miscellaneous juice and wanting the bottles for DIY, but throwing away the juice is against my nature. Maybe someday it could save my life or something. So my question is, has anyone tried dumping all of their leftovers/rejects into one big bottle without regard to compatibility and actually tried vaping it?

I'm not talking about two or three flavors that might or might not go well together, I am talking about a witch's brew of mint, fruit, tobacco, and God knows what all, just dumped together without regard to proportions, compatibility, or any sense of common decency. Has anyone done this? How horrible was it? Did it require a visit to an emergency room?

I feel the same way about wasting so I have a bunch. You could get creative and try a little DIY yourself. Get some vg at WallyWorld and start having fun. I suggest getting the vg because sometimes the flavors are just to strong and you might like them better if you dilute them down some. I know I have mixed pre-made juices together like blue berry and vanilla custard and made some real good juices. Also if you are concerned about you nic, here is a calculator that will help you mix some pre-made juices. DIY E-Liquid Combining Calculator

You may even find someone to give them away too. Bottles are really cheap at Fasttech and I have been very pleased with them. Good luck to you. :)

I'm sure it'll be fine. I've done stuff like this with my Mount Baker flavors intentionally. I've had 3 or 4 flavors mixed together and it just becomes an average of each. With all those flavors, it probably won't really be an identifiable flavor. If its too intense, you could always dilute it with VG or distilled water depending on how you like your juice. VG is inherently sweet and actually isn't a bad vape on its own.

I DIY my own juices, and I just add my flavorings to the VG, in incremental amount. Total amount of flavoring ratio to the final VG and nicotine mix is about 10% for me, and if you add all these flavors together, they'll stay at that ratio (ish) as well.

Should be fine

If you have a lot of different flavors, my recommendation would be to mix all of the fruit types together in one bottle, and the bakery/dessert in another, and tobaccos in another. That way they aren't just one muddled weird taste... some flavors just should not be mixed together imo. Like chocolate, fruity tobacco, key lime pie, and menthol watermelon mixed together just sounds like it would taste bad... but eh... its leftover juice anyways so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Sure. My bottle of "Mix" is always one of my favorites. I will never run out. Several other people keep a bottle going. It is a bit heavy on MBV's Afternoon Delight, which was one of my favorites until I could mix my own tropicals-- then it got boring. "Mix" never gets boring. Don't worry about weird combinations. Remember that it is complex, and steeping just makes it better.

I keep mine intact in a dark closet for those times when the postman is late with replacements. It's usually yuck juice but it makes vapor for a few hours until the mail arrives!

Seriously, it could be "Yuck!" or "Hey, that ain't bad" when you combine flavors and mixes. It's all similar except for the flavorings, so give it a shot. At worst you could use it later as a watered down spray for insects in your flower bed. The Nicotine will either kill them or run them off. Sweet flavors will make them try it!

Right now, I'm vaping some left over juice that's barely tolerable until tomorrow when the postal lady brings my 100ml Madvapes order. It's at the post office as of 5:30am this morning, but they say it will be delivered tomorrow. Go figure! I guess the truck was loaded before they unpacked the new arrivals this morning.

The worse thing about this idea is you may get an unbelievably magic elixir of the gods type vape and never be able to reproduce it :(

Like BM212 I vape mostly fruit and berry flavors, so I have mixed several together. Outcome not always the best, but sometimes you get a decent mix!

I DIY so I keep all my bottles, wash them and reuse.]

If you do mix them all together, try to keep track of what they were. You might create the best juice ever made and then wonder what the heck you put in it!!!!

I would support the dump bucket approach. A warning about trading is that you usually trade your bad flavors for more bad flavors and it takes some time and effort. I have a big bottle I use for exactly that reason, usually keep things in the same family. If I find it meandering the wrong way, I dump a bit and reconstitute it. I have come to know without a question what I like and somehow still can't resist buying other liquids despite the fact that I know they will disappoint me.
