I do not have any retired vape gear. I try to make it a point to visit all my gear a couple times a month. This, and my favorite gear has changed at least five times in as many months.
I wish I had someone to pay it forward to. I have clone and real stuff. Mostly tanks that need a new home.
If your gonna retire your old stuff, send it to me and I'll be glad to put it to use.
The stuff that isn't expensive, pay forward to your family, friends, etc., to get them started or improve their vaping:

The stuff that may have value, put up in the classies and treat yourself to an extra bottle or 3 of your favorite juices.

I give most of it away, for the most part it all taste the same. Sometimes you get one thats great to hold ok too.
Got one for backup and the rest gone to family and friends to help them make the switch even down to few hundred ml's of liquid.
Throw em in a box. Just a bunch of odds and ends ill probably never find a use for but they're nice to have just in case
Right now it's just sitting on my dresser and I use my retired mech mod to get my RDA's apart when I'm building. Screw it into the mod to pull the top cap off. But my other 2 just sit there. Gonna sell my iPV2 to a friend.
You coul try to mod it, have fun with it. Or last ditch, turn it in for scrap... :/
As I upgrade I give my older stuff to friends and family mostly.. like the Spinner, Evic and assorted Kanger tanks and the like..newbies to vaping..

depending on the gear, all my unused stuff gets handed to friends who need them more then i.
i have backups of backups of backups. only thing il keep, is a few batteries, and 3-4 tanks(only vape one flavor) in case on breaks i have another.
ive given away many egos- still am
many bottles of juice(most still have some of the juice since i sent them with 150+mls each LOL)
TBH, i may be "stuck" in my transition to "bigger and better" vape gear, but i am the guru to all my friends and "OUR" current equipment. i help them recoil,rewick,DIY, and trouble shoot all problems

If I put up my old mods in the classies, I would get myself banned from ECF...
My old stuff has been used hard and abandoned only when no longer functional. My broken stuff stash box is used for parts and bits to build new mods sometimes, as I used my M401 attys as battery connectors for 510 mods.
I have some older toppers, but the resale value is not likely very high. Not many vapers are in the market for RS CE2's, 801 atomizers or dual coil mega cartos...(they are fun to try once in a while now)

What do you do with all of your retired vape gear?
Try and come up with new places to hide the old gear (and new) from my wife! I only sort of lie to her through omission................. she could have done worse!
None of my stuff is actually worth much, and dropping in value every day it seems. When you don't even get around to opening the boxes they stack pretty well though

I'm assuming you're wanting to dispose of it all at once. You can do it on the PIF and even state that you'd prefer it to go to a new vaper or someone who is financially limited, needs it and just can't afford all of it. Assuming you're wanting to donate rather than sell it.
Another consideration is contacting a homeless or women's shelter in your area and seeing if they would be able to take it and give it to those since they usually can't afford cigs. We all know what it is to jones for those ciggies.
there used to be a man on ECF who had a mission/ministry of giving vape gear to homeless folks in his area, don't know if he's on here or not, but he'd probably be thrilled to have it if he's still doing this.
Good luck!

I cleaned out my retired stuff through the classies. Even two wonky Vamos went.
If you list your stuff and state $10 minimum, there is no telling how much you will get rid of. I actually transitioned from clearos to RTA's with very little out-of-pocket.
I don't know how much market there is for formats other than 510, but I do know that plenty of people are interested in cheap FT clones. Don't try to recoup more than 50% of original value. Consider it a service to people who may be too proud to ask for free stuff.

I keep the tanks but sell the batteries. At the rate I switch flavors sometimes, there's no such thing as too many tanks. I just pulled out my original mini protank, stuck some Mystic in it and slapped it on my MVP even after just coming back from the store with a second Nautilus.
