How to safely dispose of nic juice?

[hissie]

Just wondering the safest way to dispose of nic juice?

I have some that I don't use any more and am not sure whether it's actually still usable to be honest.

If anyone can offer advice it would be great.

It has a similar toxic rating to washing up liquid, no special disposal required.

If it is nic juice rather than the finished mix it should be fine. If you really want to dispose of it dilute it so that it is really weak with water and then pour it away.

yep, mine goes down the sink

down the sink with a sink full of water on top of it afterwards - should render it mostly harmless in that dilution - at the very least that should keep
the sewer rats at bay as well..

Down the sink goes mine as well hissie . . .

Thanks peeps. I was feeling guilty just at the thought of it going down the drain, but now, you have all convinced me that it is safe to pour it down the sink. I'll just make sure the cold tap is constantly running.

Just one more thing..I'm assuming flavour concentrates don't deteriorate over time?

Quite the opposite  . . . they do Hissie, how much depends on how you've stored them.

Some flavours degrade quicker than others, you'll know by the smell & taste if they have.

I keep them in a tool box in a very cool cupboard. I have the pink spot and g spot concentrates and they do seem to smell ok. Maybe I should just bin the lot and start again to be on the safe side?

Me being me, I bought them with good intentions, but became lazy and just continued to use pre-mixed juice. However, the unthinkable happened over xmas and new year..I pretty much ran out of juice. Yup you read right. I've been surviving on some samples I received from James. This has given me a proper kick up the behind. So, I'm now thinking I need to start mixing my own as well as buying pre mixed. In the 4 years I have been vaping, this has never happened.

Should be ok . . . have a taste of the neat concentrate, you'll know for certain then Hissie.

I will give them a taste, hopefully they taste ok lol.

The nic base I have seems to smell ok, but I'm not sure enough to chance using it.

The only thing that would be wrong with the nic base is it could have lost some strength over time, but as long as it looks and smells ok, it should be fine

Thanks lairey

I also think that over time, it gets slightly darker in colour... if it gets too dark, it goes down to the drain...

It will as does any eliquid qsplan . . . storing in amber glass bottles does helps slow down any degradation, even more so if popped in the fridge/freezer.

Hissie hasn't had her Nic Base or Concentrates 2 years to the best of my memory ( which is considered to be an average ' shelf life ' ) so unless they've been kept near a heat source or in a warm place, both should still be fine to use.
