Vaping not helping my hoarding instincts!

[kibbster]

Ok I'm a hoarder I'll admit it.
I can't throw anything away if it still works even it it doesn't work all that well.

So I've got a stack of Clearos I don't really want to use for now, they still work but they are tainted by menthols/ chocolate or leaky.
I've got loads of std res Cartos that I don't have any interest in now.
I've got a couple of DC XL cartos that have dropped from 1.5 to 2.2+ now.
I've got some juices I've gone off or I'd rather eat my own faeces then vape them.

But I need back ups of my backups, backups.

I blame vaping for triggering a hoarding instinct, anyone else got this problem?

I have no idea what you are talking about mate :-[

Well ok.

For instance I've got some Cartos that are becoming harder and harder to get flavour from as they are failing, even though they are only a couple of quid each I refuse to throw them away because they kind of still work and will do in an emergency.
I just "store" them just in case, even though I'll probably never use them again.

Mmmm I understand kibb,

Probably why I try to get some life out of a juice I can't stand, see my thread can you help please

This is why my ambition was to get rid of consumables and use rebuildables, partly cost and mostly to stop hoarding, the only cartos I keep are a box of 5 new ones I keep in emergency should a coil go pop while I'm out and about, apart from that the only consumables I have are wick and wire which arent space users.

Bad juices just go in the bin now, they were overtaking my kitchen.

What a waste, you could have given them to me...waste not want not is my motto.

I'm happy to offer them to you in the future, most of my bin juices are DIY but bought ones I try to rescue, I won't give DIY ones away but I'll put any bought ones up for grabs

Mine too Pauline if anyone has juice they don't like why not offer it for sale to the new vapers who may want to try it but can't really afford to buy that many samples to try. It is quite costly to some just buying a starter kit, let alone different samples of e liquid

I have probably spent half again what I've saved on smoking in a month enjoying myself though!

Well, I've given juices to friends who are starting, because you can explain to them what they are. I thought of paying some forward here, but haven't because there's (a) juices that you think are OK but aren't your particular taste, and there are (b) juices you think are nasty (or just don't work-burn or clog the atty).

Type (a) you don't mind giving a bit away, but not the bottle, because you expect your tastes to change, and type (b) you wouldn't wish on a new vaper because it might put them off.

I am planning on putting my worst-ever juice into an envelope and writing

"The Taliban
Somewhere in Afghanistan
East of Dover-shire
The World"

To be honest Sue, there are endless bottles being sent all over the place every week on this forum. Speaking personally, if it's not good enough to keep, it *might* not good enough to sell, even if someone might like it.

Difficult to explain fully - I guess you have to read between the lines a bit.

Can I send you something, are you short?
