I've come to the realization that I have a sensitivity to PG. I've ordered some max VG juice and anxiously await its arrival. However I have about 8 different mostly filled bottles of juice that I cannot/will not use. I want to dispose of them responsibly. Any suggestions? Or is it OK just to pore down the toilet?

I "heard" that nicotine can be used on plants/flowers but I would Google that first.

Toilet should be ok. As long as no one is able to drink the juice directly (pets), it should be safe. Though I would recommend giving them to a friend. Waste not!

I would gladly pay it forward and would preferred to, just I don't know how to go about doing that. I only know of 1 other vaper and he only does cig-a-likes cartos, and never heard of a vape meet and the reality is I would likely not attend one.
