So i lost my e juice bottle somewhere and decided to go cheap. I searched for some random old bottles in my home and only bottle i found was and old bottle that had earwax remover. I decided to use it for my e liquid, i washed it out with water thoroughly and dried it. And now im thinking is this actually dangerous because i still have that taste of what it smelled before i washed it. Im kinda scared that im gonna die lol.

I kind of thought this was going to be about reusing a bottle that had been previously used for ejuice. I think that the previous flavor would contaminate the new one if you were to do that, no matter how much water was used to wash it out. I can't even get the flavors out of my bottles, I definitely wouldn't be reusing a bottle that was used for something else entirely, especially a medication of some kind... probably not a good idea.

As a last resort, I'd go to a Dollar Tree, a Walgreen's, a CVS, etc. and buy a pack of the travel size empty plastic bottles. They don't come with a dropper tip or medicine type dropper top, but...they're better than using what you tried to use. Most are PET plastic rather than LDPE or PP, so I still wouldn't leave eliquids in them for a long time.

Do you not have any friends who vape...who may have an extra (even used) empty eliquid bottle laying around?

Or, many vape shops will sell you a couple plastic dripper top bottles for less than a buck or 2, even for the 50mL size.

I'm just curious. From what did you pour the juice OUT of, when it went INTO the, um, earwax remover bottle?

:blink:

Not likely, since there's nothing particularly toxic in ear wax removal solutions. The primary downside would be an affect on taste, like you noted. Now stop being so cheap and order some clean bottles. :)
