What to do with e-liquid that you DON'T like....

[Cara T]

If I don't like them immediately I let them hang around for a while and later on when i notice like you did they are sitting on the back shelf I will try a small amount, see if my opinion has changed and if not they go in my 'play around box'. Sometimes that juice ends up being just what I need to spark up or mellow out something else I got. Now and then I get an idea for a flavor mix and that bottle is there to play with and so on. Probably never use it ll up that way unless it ends up as a 50-50 with another bottle but it gets a second life. I have really ended up with some great tasting flavors out of my play box.

I am also a bit leery about giving away my e-liquid even to people I know unless I know for sure I just got it and its fresh, or I am using from the same bottle and share with a friend. Its easy to forget how long its been on the shelf and so even giving it a friend next door worries me. I should start making a practice of dating the bottle when I receive it and then giving away would probably not be a worry.

Some of the liquid I have ordered has a "made" date on the label, others I have I mark them with a sharpie so I can keep up with how long I have had them....I think that vaping expired juice would rank up on the "10 worst things that have happned in my world" list

Who is your vendor Ldybug? I noticed a rash on my face, mainly my forehead and jawbone area. If you mix your fave juice with VG, does it change the flavor?

I think I get my vg from ecig express and I use Vaporbeast for my regular juice. It does dilute the flavor but trust me I can live with it.

I save them for the local meetup. We have a bag that floats around the meeting, basically an in-person treasure chest. Some to get rid of? Toss it in. Want to try something you see in the bag? Go for it.

As far as dating the liquid -- I'm only about 5 weeks in and have no experience with the dangers of expired liquids. All my bottles from Mt Baker Vapor and Mr. Vape have born on dates on them, and most of the bottles I get from All About Vapor (the ones that don't I ordered in person since they're my local shop).
