Well @Kat56 did convince me life is too short to torture self so I did dump the rest of the bottle of apricot.. Still going to try to vape the rest of the tank but also going to find another mix for it.
I used to vape everything I made even if it was horrible. Growing up after the war you learned to never waste anything. My mother saved the wrappers from food cans to write shopping lists on, paper was expensive and hard to come by. When she died my sister found a box full of can wrappers in her kitchen. Stuff you learn when you are young sticks with you.

Last night I decided to try to upgrade my blackcurrant meringue recipe which needed some work. Grabbed an empty 50ml bottle I had used for that recipe. Made up a new recipe and tried to pour 47mls of base into the bottle, without noticing it was still half full. Got a puddle of base on my desk. Emptied it out and made my new mix, but I still hated wasting that half bottle of juice.

    Yes, I never went through what you did but I still hate dumping juice.

    I can relate. Mom washed and reused aluminum foil (I do sometimes) and kept every container possible and reused. What a surprise thinking you were going to have some cottage cheese and finding green beans in the container lol.

    Just read another article about the problems with kids and disposables in the UK. This was the picture at the top of the article.

    Never seen this particular disposable. @hittman, have you reviewed it?
