What Do You Do With Your "Unvapables?"

[WillieB69]

Right now, I have about a dozen small bottles of liquid that I would call completely "unvapable." Even after sitting and aging, there has been no improvement in any of them. Most are alleged fruit flavors that taste more like I'm vaping cheap dollar store perfume.

None of them are over 10 ml bottles but I still paid good money for them and hate the idea of throwing them out. I've even tried mixing them with better quality vapes and it only ruins the good ones. I don't want to try and sell or give them away because I don't want to be responsible for making someone gag and never vape again.

Seriously, I can't imagine anyone liking these flavors unless it brings back fond memories of kissing Great Aunt Ruth or something.....

So what in the name of Pippi Longstocking do I do with them?

I get a strong flavor like spearmint or cinnamon and drop a couple of drops of the gross stuff in a carto with the strong stuff. The strong stuff overpowers the nasty stuff and I can't taste it. I'm slowly using up the stuff that I don't like.

Save them, when I get a cold or have one of those no tatse days and drop some menthol in.

You'd be amazed how often that one person's strong dislike really is another person's delight. Or if not their delight, at least vaporable for them without a problem. IF I really thought it impossible that anyone could find them vaporable I'd toss them down the drain as there would be no reason to keep them around but for most flavors that I wasn't happy with I would pass them on to someone else with the disclaimer that I REALLY didn't like them but IF they wanted to give them a try I'd be more than happy to pass them on to them.

I've been lucky so far as I've had a few flavors I'm not thrilled with at all but none that I consider so bad that I needed to toss down the drain. Only one that I'd put a disclaimer on that I REALLY didn't like it at all but as long as I gave that disclaimer I'd still pass it on IF someone else wanted to give it a try.

Yeah, I had similar thoughts to the OP. Tried some stuff:

Pour them on your ant beds and around your homes foundation.

I've used coffee e-juice at about 20% and found that it pretty much over writes the unfavorable e-juice taste pretty well.....
the cinnamon flavor would likely work well too...

strong concentrates like lorann's flavorings will work for sure...I spiked some juice with loranns butter rum and couldn't taste anything but butter rum.

coffee e-juice is still my go to over write flavor I like the anolog-ish hit I get from coffee flav's

I say go ahead and try a few different test so you won't have to throw away perfectly good nic juice next time you find a lame duck flavor...

I toss em. I'm out maybe $6-$10 and learned a lesson.

I'm saving them for FDA Apocalypse. With their nicotine content, some of these things that I think are craptacular may be worth a little sumpin'sumpin'. Kinda like a Mad Max for the vaping generation.

I just started recently and have been stashing the ones I don't like to either trade, pay it forward, or just give to somebody. Rather somebody use them then just trash them.

CRAPTACULAR - wow a great new way to describe the undesireable liquids.....love it!

Lol I guess. I just don't feel like wading through the mountain of crummy juice when I'm looking for the one I want.

-I guess I could just store them elsewhere

Well, after trying various mixing combinations throughout the evening- adding this that and the kitchen sink, I can safely say that these all still pretty much taste like I'm vaping Summer's Eve feminine wash. This is about as springtime fresh as it gets. I am now hitting my most hardcore coffee mixture to counteract the effects.

 

[qwertylesh]

for the most part, they sit in my tackle box, out of the sun, ageing. I have found with some flavors I might dislike, my housemate or friends who vape may like them so I give them away if they like the ones I dislike, that said, I only get 30ml bottles of what I like and try 10ml flavors out here and there. Theres been some flavours (like flue cured tob) that I've liked that my friends havent.
So in the best circumstance, I trade with others, worse, they'll sit in my tackle box, I've contemplated selling them but I really am quite lazy so probably wont, but am more the happy to let people try the flavours I have and happily share them around with other vapers I socialize with

 

[juicefreak]

i've found that once they're perfume, they're going to stay that way. aging only makes them worse.

like someone said, you can use them for bug killer (away from pets and kids) and boil out the bottles and reuse.

i've gone through my 1 yr old juice and some of it has TURNED to perfume. didn't start out that way. some kind of chemical process goes on with nic juice, and saving bad juice, never turns out well.

 

[Mark Linehan]

I saw use the PIF needs/wants and I bet you will find someone who likes them. Or use the classified forum and trade them for something you might like. Better than anything like tossing or pouring away, and even though you hate them, there may be someone who likes them out there. I know that I would hate anything with lemon but it is far from hated by the rest of the world.

(I honestly can't say that I've tried vaping that!

 

[illuxion]

It depends on what my reasoning is. Many of them I try to play with adding and mixing different flavors to see if I get something I like, if all else fails throw some cinnamon or some sort of mint in it and call it a day lol. Some are just soooo putrid that I just chuck them in the trash, although in the future I'll be giving them for free. The one that makes my tummy upset just thinking about it was coconut from TW. It was the only juice that made me gag when I vaped it. I let it sit for a week them tried it again with the same response, so I heave it in the trash with a bit of satisfaction

 

[Firefly13]

There's a difference between not being a fan of a flavor, and it blatantly tasting wrong / perfumey.. if it's something that's not for me i'll give it to someone else, if it's blatant bad chemical / perfume taste it goes down the drain.

I've only got one bottle which might be called unvapable. It's the result of DIY mixing, sassafras. It's plumb horrible. But, I haven't tossed it. When I thought about ditching it, memories came to mind of my smoking days ... worse days ... digging through ashtrays around the house and in the car looking for smokable cigarette butts. If I ever got that desperate, I'd probably vape the sassafras. <gack> Glad I only made 10ml, wish it had been 3ml.
