Yeah, what @OBDave said...either start DIY'ing and fill them up with juices you make yourself. Otherwise, some people donate them to others who do DIY. If you don't know anyone, then yeah recycle would be best option.

Post 2 and post 3. I always rinsed mine out before recycling, then started saving them when I considered DIY. Saved me a ton of money on bottles in the beginning.

Ewww, when a pack of 100 bottles are around 9-15 bucks do you really need to keep those old stank ass used ones anymore???

Me thinks, this is the equivalent of keeping your dirty old socks and giving them to your friend that doesn't buy socks any more. If your DIY friends are hurting to the point that they need to reuse old bottles, http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6695210596.html?orderId=67497404941389

Alie express is totally legit, and much much much better then ebay in every way shape and form. Buyers are required to do god, or they dont get paid and you keep everything including your money, period no questions asked. You'd do yourself a huge injustice to not create an account. Think allibaba minus the 1000piece order requirement.

Im all for DIY and reusing a lot of things I find, but a new fresh bottle for my juices is pretty much a no brainer. Most people want to keep them because the bottles look pretty with artwork and what not. If you wanna keep the bottles as a memento, go college dorm style and glue them to the top of all your cabinets like they do with liquor bottles . Otherwise, Recycle those things, and use a sterile new one. :)

I gotta agree with you @kwtony. I rinse old juice bottles and then trash 'em. I buy 15,30,and 60ml glass bottles buy the case and use those for DIY juice. Good quality glass bottles and dropper tops are so cheap through places like packaging options direct I can't see using old bottles really. I don't buy much in the way of branded juices anymore, but when I do I just get rid of the bottles when I'm done with them.

Considering 95% of my bottles are glass, yes I keep them! They are properly cleaned, so no issues!

Blasphemous prostitution?

Kidding aside, thanks for the link - I'll be needing a few hundred plastic bottles soon, may give them a shot...that said, I see no problem re-using properly cleaned bottles (glass especially) for myself, though other folks I mix for always get nothing but new stock.

Now now guys, of course glass is fine to reuse and wash again. At .50-1.00, you are almost obligated to keep them.


Aliexpress holds the money in escrow for every transaction. till you A receive the goods, and B approve the items to be as described and C in the condition you approve of. . Their policies and rules are perfect as far as Im concerned. People make a living off of scamming people on ebay, i doubt this happens on aliexpress.
I have sold literally thousands of items on ebay, it is obnoxious how poorly the system is designed, especially to the sellers. . Aliexpress is basically the quick and low quantity version of allibaba.com. Instead of having to buy 2000 of any one item you get more quantity choices. Plus many companies on there, have an online chat option where you can speak immediately with the seller and change orders/ask questions with ease. Start buying on alieexpress, and after a while, ebay will be a freaking chore.

The ONLY issue i could say( and its not even and issue with me most of the time) is shipping. The longest i have had to wait on anything was about 14 days. usually ~7 days is the norm. Its not amazon prime, but often blows amazon/ebay out of the water. I try to plan ahead as much as i can, with ali express.

I never say, "oh i need something right now, let me go to ali, because ill get it in a few days"

In the name of DIY save and wash what you can if the flavor before was forgiving. ( that will be very few unless they are glass and you can get the dang labels off) A penny saved is a penny earned. If you ever do DIY you could use them for anything really and they make great practice bottles so you can keep your new clean ones for successes . Although Id imagine they all make the trash pretty soon.

Vape Bottle Recycling is happening now @thevapecycle.com They just started up in Southern California. They are a vape bottle recycling program. Their mission is to get used vape bottles out of the waste stream. They have placed bins in 110 stores in California. Some of the stores offer rewards for recycling. Visit www.thevapecycle.com to find the stores where the bins are located.

A specialized service for recycling vape bottles? Why not just toss them in with regular plastic recycling? lol.

I had cleaned and saved all my old bottles before starting DIY. Used them to bottle smaller amounts of larger purchased bottles of liquid, and sometimes to try mixing various flavors of purchased liquid. When I started DIY, I used them at first but soon needed more bottles and larger bottles. Went online and found bottles that I like so now my old e-liquid bottles are sitting in a box in my closet.
