I've used them plenty of times, especially when I first started out. I asked the very same question, lol. Mild solution of dish detergent, hot water, rinse well, was all I've done. Eventually, I did buy new bottles, but in the beginning when I wasn't sure if DIY was for me, it was a quick, cheap solution.

same as @Huckleberried I prefer glass bottles myself but i rarely buy them I usually just aquire them from free ejuice or some strange method. Some ejuices clean real well others take some dawn as mentioned just make sure ya get the detergent out I have not rinsed well and vaped dawn it is not a good experience

thank you all was going to bleach the hell out of them lol but now i know thanks again
You could use a VERY mild solution, and rinse REALLY REALLY well. I know some do, but for mixing for yourself, in bottles you were already using, I can't say I'd go to that extreme. Same basic ingredients are going into it.

I keep telling myself that I should keep those TFA glass bottles for something but I always keep on throwing them away.

I'm sorry but I got a good laugh out of this. I'm sure it was not funny when it happened. I would guess it burned or chocked on the inhale. I imagine you coils was trash after this?

I use the plastic bottles too. If they had something really strong in em, I'll give em a good soak in PBW, then rinse really well with warm water (PBW = the stuff homebrewers use to clean and partially sanitize beer bottles and brewing equipment).

I save them all. I prefer the plastic bottles now that I drip. Dripping with a glass dropper is a pain in the ass I don't need. I only have 2 hands. lol

I use only hot water unless the flavors are strong. I was planning on trying a vinegar soak for the strong ones. I use vinegar for anything else that is smelly.

A couple times already, my dripper was snapping and popping before I discovered a cat hair in there. :facepalm:

I would love to get some sort of cap for my drip tips.

Fasttech does sell a couple. I got one that fits an 11mm POM kinda DT. I'll see if I can find the links.

When I reuse bottles, I use nothing more than HOT water to rinse them several times with. That has always had them clean for me.
