Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

I have a whole bunch of brand new 10ml bottles i am probably never going to use, lying around gathering dust...

10ml is quite small for heavy chain vapers like me - I think some would benefit from using them as tester bottles. I use 60ml and 30ml bottles for adding to my tank. I also have moved to 500ml / 1L bottles for larger mixes to steep in. I still have 2 x 1L bottles sitting on the shelf, empty.

Plus I also recycle coke bottles - always have a use for them here and we donate the rest to Singakwenza, an education foundation, that uses a variety of plastic to teach little kids.

They make the best seed starters - testing out some jalapeno seeds in a coke bottle to see if I can get them started indoors over winter. Also planning on planting some garlic in coke bottles soon (just waiting for the cloves to root in water first)

Bought the 10mls with the intention of using them as testers, but 10ml is a) a mission to mix in b) not enough to get a good enough idea of the 'iffy' mixes.

Ah yes they do. Where I live, we have flies all year and I make fly traps.

I made watering "cans" out of them too for seedlings. We also use them with fitted sprayers as well.

My papa taught me how to create makeshift wind spinners to scare off pests in the garden.

The use of them is endless...
 
Speaking of this - how many people recycle their bottles?

I would be happy to pay for shipping even if it means less plastic on the landfills and keeping the ocean clean

@RainstormZA I have quite a few bottles, which I've kept for adjusting some commercial juice. Also, I want to decant some of my 60ml juice into two bottles. It's quite difficult to get the tops off the plastic ones, isn't it? I'm re-organising all my vape stuff and when I've done so I'll let you know if I have bottles to give away. I wonder if it's worth it for you to pay for courier fees though? Do you need them for DIY?

Not really , larger mixes go into a 500ml/1L bottles. I use a 60ml bottle to add juice to my tank and refill when needed.

I just lost one bottle - it split in the middle and had to throw it away, considering I got it just before December - it's seen a lot of use.

I'm just curious to how many of us DIYers actually recycle bottles from vendors after we finish the commercial juices

I have a friend that drops his commercial bottels with me mainly 50ml Opus bottles. I keep them for use and basically reuse every bottle get...

Overnight soak in lightly soapy water to get any leftover flavour and stickers off. Leave it for the day on the kitchen counter and at night they are ready to mix.
 
Tip: If the bottle had a strong flavour in it e.g. those pink, musk sweeties, which I will NEVER buy again, add a few drops of white vinegar to the bottle and fill with water. Stand overnight. Rinse well the next morning. Vinegar will remove the previous flavour and if the bottle is rinsed well, it won't impart its own flavour.
 
As I was saying... Monitor lizards in my warehouse. You can tell they're inside pretty easily by the screams and site of the staff jumping out of whatever exit they can find. :-D

Sorry for the grainy pic, my re-sizer sometimes does this.

Gross! I should give you a Dislike for this!

This is pretty much how I do it as well with all my reusable juice bottles - my motto: waste not, want not.

Thanks for this advice guys, especially the vinigar one. I have a bunch of 50 and 100 ml concentrate bottles I was wondering how to get clean.

Wish I could shed my skin like that and have a new identity. Tbh, had to watch the clip a few times to figure out what was happening, really beautiful

Having a fully refined and developed palate makes one fussy in the ejuice dept.

Now I remember why I make diy instead of commercial juices. Out of 14 bottles, I've liked only 5 juices...
