I have been diy since the 2nd month After I started vaping....I have a problem, I have looked and looked to solve but can't find anywhere.....How on earth do you get the used bottles clean, I have washed and washed with dawn and alcohol and whatever else I could think of but I just can't get the smell or taste from the last juice I made out of the empty bottles.....bottles are cheap but I know there has to be a way to clean and sanitize them ...........what am I missing .....boiling....dishwasher ....I just don't know.... pleeze help!!!!​

bulk bottles are pretty cheap on ebay. I reuse mine also. I just stick them down in the dishwater and squeeze them a few times.. then I let them sit in the soapy water for awhile.. then I rinse with warm water.. shake them out and sit them out to dry.. never have any problem tasting the juice that was in them before.

Careful with the strong flavors like cinamon, peppermint, ect.. Those can be a nightmare. Menthol can be a bit tough as well.

I just let them soak in hot water with a little bit of bleach. These strong flavor ones I just throw away.

be aware that I don't use anything strong like cinnamon or menthol.. if you do then it may not work. but I guess it won't cost anything to try. let me know!

I soak in vinegar and water and it works well.

plastic bottles will store residual flavors, just like the red tint of spaghetti sauce on your tupperware.

Plastic bottles are cheap, toss em out.

Consider using glass bottles.

Yes. I eventually gave up on plastic bottles and boy am I glad that I did! Cleaning plastic bottles is a PITA. Glass bottles are so much better, and you can actually get them clean and odor-free without hassle. They cost a little more initially (although they're not terribly expensive), but use can use them forever. I get mine here. (1 oz is about 30ml)

I do use 6ml plastic bottles with a dropper tip to hold juice I use to fill carts & cartos when I'm out in the big world. Each bottle is assigned a juice and never used for any other juice. These bottles are cheap enough to feel Ok about tossing out. I get mine here. (1 cc is 1 ml).

I like mint flavors and cinnamon flavors, i reuse my bottles all the time and while i cant always get the smell out i never have gotten cross contaminated flavors. Soapy hot water, maybe an alcohol bath for the really pungent smells. Once the new liquid is inside the bottle, the bottle takes on the new smell.
