Kind of a silly noob question. I have a couple flavors that sounded great from the description but when I vaped with them, I just wasn't enjoying them. They steeped for a few days and I decided I still didn't like the flavors. I figured once they were open I probably couldn't return them. Kind of like, who returns cookies they don't like to the grocery store?
I tried to give them away to a coworker and she didn't even want to try them because, "if you didn't like them then I probably wouldn't either"

I hate to toss them. What do you guys do with yours? I'm wondering if there's like a trading community somewhere, or if it is possible to add my own food flavoring to the mixes?

I toss them, if it's bad enough I can't vape it don't want to pass it off on someone else. I have a few freebies from the vape summit this weekend that may wind up like that. If it's bad liquid I don't worry about tossing them just take it as a learning experience.











And order some more Nicoticket....sorry shameless plug but I had too. :D

One of the flavors I purchased is called "s3x on the peach" which sounded like something I'd like since it has the word peach in it, right? Eww, it's like a peach alcoholic beverage. And I didn't realize that's what it was, but my coworker educated me :)
That one I definitely wouldn't vape again!
but the blueberries and cream is just... boring. I don't hate it but I don't like it.
Maybe it has hope if I mix it with something?

Dumping is a waste. You can always find someone who either wants them or needs them.

You can swap liquids here and try something else.

Put it up for donation and get a warm fuzzy. You never know if/when you might need help in the future yourself.

If you want, you can always try to sell it in the ECF Classifieds. To even access that part of ECF you need to become verified first.

Pay it forward--there are always people in need who will be grateful to get some e-juice. Besides, just because you don't like a certain eliquid doesn't mean that someone else won't love it. You can also trade your juices there with other vapers!

Pay It Forward - PIF

Good point Katya, if it's something that's just not for me but completely vapable I would put it up there. But if it's one of those that's not I will toss it.

Remember if you experiment with adding 0 nic flavors or other E-Liguids at 0 nic, you are changing the nicotine strength because you are diluting the mixture.

Unless you are an experienced DIY at mixing and flavors, it is better to PIF or some of the other suggestions previously posted.

Of course as a last resort, toss them!
(I have had some juice that I wouldn't give my worst enemy)...LOL :facepalm:

Those are the ones I was saying, toss it. :D I have had some chemically tasting nastiness that people would ridicule me for trying to pass it off on them.

I see you are new to the forum and to vaping...Welcome and congrats on making the decision to vape!

Have you tried any of the naturally extracted tobacco flavors?

My wife hasn't smoked for over 30 years, unlike myself, I was always a heavy cigar smoker, and over 5 years ago I got tired of the money I was spending, not to mention having bronchitis 3 to 4 time a year!

I think the hardest thing when a person switches to vaping is getting the right sensation, then flavor and nicotine....it can be very difficult for many....

I know it is for my 22 year old son....but he is about got it whopped!

Pops keeps him in vape juice......:D

I'm kind of new but got into Nicoticket and a Reo pretty quick. I just had a slip up one night when I went out to a concert or I would be a lot further a long than my sig indicates but I appreciate the advice. I'm rocking and rolling now with these two they go together like PBNJ. :D

Been coiling for awhile now (Thanks SuperX) and found my sweet spot @ 28 ga. duals 7/6 about .4 ohms in the Reo LP Grand and RM4. With that setup and some Virus and Wakonda the stinkies have no chance. :thumb: My slip up was before I started rebuilding, once I got that nice warm lung hit I haven't looked back. Even dropped as low as 6mg but with as much as I vape and as hard as my rig hits it's all I need.

Being a gamer if I get into something I GET INTO IT. :D

Same here, I am an IT Engineer, and you are 100% right, if the lung hit isn't right, the rest doesn't matter!

I have heard that Nicoticket makes great juice....my only hesitation is that I have a minor in chemistry, and I am a DIY...so I rarely buy juice anymore...so if...IF I do buy something it has got to be just over the top as far as reviews...then there is the fact I vape at 32mg, which you just can't get from many suppliers..I can tolerate 24mg...but when it hits 18...to weak...

Now in my RDA' and 26650 mods...I go about 12-14mg

I only use my RDA' and RBA' at home...I use Kanger' during the day...

Even when I travel I may take my RBA', but only use them in the hotel at night...too expensive to f up (I have a lot of authentic mods and attys..)

I have wanted a Reo forever...probably my next mod....

I want to DIY myself, it goes with my personality. When I wanted a gaming rig PC I researched them and then built one myself, having said that just get 15 ml's of The Virus if you hate it I will gladly buy the remaining bottle off of you.

Like I said get a small bottle in whatever mg you like and if you hate it I'll take it off your hands. I tried sooo many liquids at the vape summit this weekend still have 10+ bottles of what I bought in my steep cabinet and I am still vaping either The Virus or Wakonda. If you don't want to try the juice for sure grab a Reo they are just as amazing.

What puts both of them over the top for me is the CS I have never got a hand written message on my receipt until I bought from NT they truly care about their customers and this can be seen by our showing in the "Most Popular of ECF" poll going on now. They take care of us and we do the same when asked. Reo as well any problems you "may" have with the Reo Rob will take care of it asap even if you bought it second hand on the forums. Having said that if you really want a Reo and can wait the Woodvil's are coming out in February these are the most coveted of the Reo brand.

But like I said I will put my good name up with The Virus, any day of the week.

s3x on the peach (cute name) might do better if you let it steep for a month. It may well continue to change through that time. It may get better or worse, but generally they get better and there's only one way to find out :)

The PIF idea is a good one. Just because you don't like it does not mean other people will feel the same way about it.

When I was buying ready to vape juices I used to mix the ones I didn't like together in a 30 ml bottle. That's big enough so you can mix 5 times 5 ml in it and still have 5 ml for adjustments. Sometimes they turned out very good. Sometimes I threw it away and started over. Most of the time I ended up feeling that with a bit of help it could work. l like menthol so I got some crystals and dissolved them in PG in another bottle. I found that almost anything could be helped by adding a little menthol to it, or sometimes a bit more than a little. When I realized I was buying juices to mix together I decided to go all in and make my own from scratch.

Really, there is no right or wrong way to do this and if you're thinking of tossing the juice anyway, you have nothing to lose. Give it a bit of thought and have fun with it :thumb:
