Hey ECF!

It's been a while since we've had a giveaway, so we're making this one count. This time around we're giving away a Vision Spinner 1300mAh, a Kanger Protank 3 (on sale for $9.99 at the moment), a Smoktech T-Dux 2.0 1.8 ohm Clearomizer, and a bunch of e-juice to 5 lucky ECF members.

The topic this time is the exciting world of e-liquid bottles. Okay, maybe that isn't exactly exciting, but NC still wants to know what you guys think. What makes a good e-liquid bottle? What are some characteristics you're fond of? Bottle material (i.e. glass vs plastic, type of plastic, etc). Do you have a favorite type of bottle?

Answering these questions isn't mandatory for entry, they are meant to give you a general idea of what we're interested in learning. You can be as specific or as general as you like. If you don't have an opinion, you can still enter the contest by posting in this thread.

Let us know what you think!

I will be first
I like the soft plastic bottles with the mini short needle tip. They are sorta foggy, not the clear.
I don't know the official name of the plastic, but I can describe it as a soft and pliable plastic cause it squeezes very easily.
That's a bonus for me and my Arthritis.

Thanks for the contest!!

I will go get this in the contest thread so others can find us

I prefer plastic with a thin spout for the convenience of filling or any with a dropper. I despise those thick spouts with the ultra small holes.

 

[Vchick]

I'll echo more of the same - easy to squeeze bottles with good tips !

thanks for the contest!

 

[Rickajho]

Easy! The kind of bottles UK EcoPure uses. The have a deeply sloped top edge & spout which means all of the liquid in the bottle can actually be got out. The Hangsen type that have a flat, right angle edge below the threading drive me insane as they always leave at least 1 ml in the bottle that you can never get out.

I agree with the plastic bottles. Even companies that offer glass bottles I always request plastic bottles of they have them.

I agree with dolphins those are the plastic bottles that are the best.
The hard clear one are a pain to get juice out of.
Glass dropper bottles are a nice option, but I don't know if I would pay the extra if given a choice.

 

[daleron]

Foggy white, easy squeeze, needle bottle's are my favorite's.
If your juice get's transferred to one of these (I buy my own) it's a true winner

Personally I prefer glass bottles with a dropper for anything over 10ml. I just feel better with large amounts in glass. I'm not as concerned about some kind of chemical steeping in to my liquid. It isn't that I believe the juice seller is purposefully using sub standard equipment. However, we've all heard the horror stories about kids toys and pet food from China.

Under 10ml I like plastic that is easily squeezed. The juice isn't going to last as long. So, the chemical concern isn't as big of a deal and it is more convenient to carry around.

Although I used to prefer glass with dropper tops since so many types of plastic are thought to leach damaging chemicals, I've come to prefer plastic with a needley tip, narrow enough to bottom feed a Kafun, and hopefully vendors will choose some sort of harmless plastic.

I like glass bottles with the droppers, but they always tease me by holding back that last few drops of eliquid!!!

 

[Jomoke]

I prefer glass bottles with droppers especially if it's a strong smelling juice such as a hot cinnamon. I sometimes think with plastic the scent of one juice will somehow effect another if I put them close together. I store my juice by flavors so this isn't really a problem with the plastic which I would prefer with a needle tip.

 

[MoonLit_Water]

I like plastic bottles with the skinny dripper tops on them. I do not like it when the label goes completely around the bottle it makes it harder to see how much s left in there


Thanks for the contest

I like glass bottles with dropper. More durable and reusable.

I prefer plastic bottles that you can squeeze the juice out of.

Hmmm, where to start? Ok, glass or plastic doesn't seem to matter much to me because I go through the liquids so fast, it doesn't have time to permeate. Well, ok maybe one did. For some unknown godly reason, I purchased a 10ml bottle of dill pickle flavored e juice. Yes, dill pickle. I like pickles. Maybe dill isn't #1, but I could eat them all day. this stuff is so.... face scrunching horrid, that it even stunk up my clearomizer. Thinking back now, coconut custard was not a good choice to follow pickle in that tank.

So anyways, what really matters more to me is if the opening of the bottle is large enough for me to get my syringe inside to extract the juice. I use the CE3XL clearomizers. Yeah, they don't hold a lot but I like to vape different flavors through the day and I don't like carrying around a dozen large tanks so the small ones work great for me. You have to refill these with the handy dandly syringe looking like a drug addict or insulin user, so hence the syringe. Now we all know how that juice likes to cling to the bottle and thiose last drops are hard to get out. (especially with those flavors we all REALLY love. You know you've shaken, tapped, rocked and done everything you can to get those last precious drops out...) It's kind of a pain to tilt the bottle to the side to try and get it to fill so I just pour it into a shot glass and go from there. (very important tip. DO NOT do shots of liqour while filling tanks. You don't want to grab the wrong shot glass.) So to make a long story longer, I like it when I can get the needle all the way to the bottom and savor every bit.

I too like a little bit of a gap in the label so you can see how much is left. i.e. when it's time to reorder. Drip tips are nice for the big tanks, so too are the dropper tops, but I just end up ripping those off. I haven't found a use for them yet but if anyone has any ideas....

And lastly I think I prefer a bottle that has a little bit of tint to it, but not extremely dark would be ideal. I'm getting older and my eagles eyes are a bit more like a chicken hawk now. When I get those cobalt blue bottles, I have to hold it right up to a light bulb and squint to see what's left inside.

That's about it for now. Oh, and thank you for the chance to win.

first of all ty for such a generous contest!
i like glass bottle if i order 60 ml or more with a soft plastic bottle with needle tip included.
if its a smaller size i like the soft plastic bottles with the mini short needle tip,makes filling easier. hard plastic has no give so sometimes i cant even get a drop out of them.

Your juice selection is excellent and being able to choose pg/vg ratio is always a big plus. The site is easy to navigate; overall I'm impressed. Thanks for the contest!

I like glass with a dropper. I worry about chemicals from the plastic reacting with my juices.
