Are these OK?

[Mstbleu]

Hi all, I've been trying my hand at making my own juice after tumbling to these nifty little 5ml bottles from Fasttech. Oddly enough, these bottles are cheaper than their other bottles with the long plastic nose. They are perfect for DIY experiments (they're even graduated!) and for dispensing juice into your clearo, protank or whatever.

As I've now accumulated quite a store of TFA flavorings I was wondering if these bottles would be safe to store my flavorings in? They are hella convenient little drippers, and it wouldn't take much to figure out how many drops equal 1ml. Is anyone else using these bottles for storing their concentrates in?

I am still a big proponent of using syringes for measuring out my diy liquids - it is too easy to get distra SQUIRREL!!!! and that is why you don't want to use batteries with fire in the name.

DJ, what's your thoughts on using a balance for making juice by weight, Vis à Vis using pipettes/syringes for making juice by volume? And lets say you were just starting now, with no equipment, and a really nice balance is only $106. So that all you would need to buy, for now and forever, is the balance and disposable transfer pipettes (which are cheap). Thanks.

best regards, larry mac

I have the 10ml ones. You cannot lay them on their side...they leak.

Otherwise, perfectly good. Good length needles.

Bwahahaha...that is too funny. Not exactly the answer I was looking for, but it did make me

Thanks asht, they are incredibly convenient, I just ordered 60 more. Can't go wrong at that price. They're a DIY steal and great to carry extra juice in. I haven't had a problem with them leaking at all!

I am leaning toward buying some very little measuring spoons, I just can't get the hang of syringes.

Like these I keep in my knife roll for work?

Plastics can leech and O2 can also pass. So overall I would personally say "no go" on storing flavors and give the deference to glass. However, I like needle points bottles also and bought a ten-pack for short-term "on the go." Enjoy!

i would store the flavorings in their glass bottle and use the needle tops on a need to use basis rather than storage

Particularly with concentrated flavouring, I'd be worried about it chemically attacking the plastic over long periods.

I'd prefer glass, given the option.
