A disturbing trend I'm seeing

[vafromnc]

So, I got juice from a couple of vendors the other day, one being MyFreedomSmokes (naturally). The other was from another popular juice vendor (I won't name them because it is happening with others). I opened the packages, thrilled, of course. The bottles from MyFreedomSmokes were FULL. I mean they held every bit that they could hold. No leaking, just FULL bottles of juice. The bottle from the other vendor was maybe 2/3 to 3/4 full. When I pay for 15 or 30 or 60 ml of juice, that is what I should get. I don't pay for head space. These juices are not carbonated, and they don't need to settle. There is no excuse for not filling up a bottle.

MyFreedomSmokes juice bottles arrive FULL and I've never had any leaking issues during transport.

MyFreedomSmokes gives you what you pay for, every bit of it. And darn good juice, by the way. As for the others, take a hint and FILL THOSE BOTTLES UP!!

If you were to measure what you got it is most likely the correct amount, full bottles are about 1 ml more than stated.

Yeah I have the same problem with a couple of vendors. Okay "filled" to the brim is more than let's say a 30ml. But I mean you wanna get a "full bottle"

I understand what you're saying, but I mean more like getting 26 ml rather than 30. It bothers me.

Funny you brought this up. I just ordered some juice from Gourmet Vapor and The bottles are no way as near as full as MFS's bottles. Now I'm not saying I didn't get my full 5ml. I'm just saying that once again it goes to show how MFS goes above and beyond. Look at the picture below. The bottle on the left is from Gourmet Vapor. It's 5ml and it cost $3.95. The one on the right is from MFS and it's 10ml and cost $4.95. I don't know about you guys but for $1.00 more it seems I'm getting more than double what others give. Not to mention I even used some from the MFS bottle already!! I can't say it enough...Kudos to MFS!!!

Sorry, I double posted and can't delete it..................

Why doncha all just measure the liquid volume, instead of eyeballing it? Seems simple to me.

 

[Mrtrucker40108]

Because it's not as fun as just accusing folks of 'shorts.'

 

[sidetrack]

Since I started to DIY I have found that bottles are not what they say they are. My so called 30ml bottles I bought are in actuality 33ml, my 10ml are really 12ml and so on. I used to be under the impression that if you filled it to the "neck" that represented the stated volume, not so.

Nic stength and flavor are very sensitive to exact volumes. If they "premix" it in a larger container, then yes, they could easily top off the bottle for an extra level of customer service. But if they are mixing it in the bottle and all the measurements are correct, then it might be exactly 10ml in a bottle that happens to only fill up 2/3 of the way. It is kinda silly though, because they probably premix large batches are just pour the solution into the container, which that way they could easily top it off, and only lose about .0003 cents on their end giving you that extra 1.5ml

I don't believe anyone is accusing anyone of "shorting". They are just applauding the vendors that give that extra mil or two.

Exactly. After all it plainly states "Now I'm not saying I didn't get my full 5ml. I'm just saying that once again it goes to show how MFS goes above and beyond."

The thread title and OP disagree with you...

 

[PepNYC]

Why does someone always want to pick a fight? Sheesh.....

 

[Rocketman]

This isn't about any one specific vendor but I expect to see the correct quantity in the bottle I ordered. Not more (oh boy) or less (oh darn). If the super duper automatic dispensing pump can't put the correct amount in a bottle did the super duper automatic dispensing pump put the correct amount of ingredients in the mix?

Mom and pop may mix up each and every bottle of juice using kitchen measuring tools, but automatic dispensing equipment, properly calibrated will hit 30ml within about 0.5ml.

Too much or too little, I'm uncomfortable.

 

[Mrtrucker40108]

Pep, Warlike.. I think if you reread the OP you will see that shorts is exactly what's being claimed.

As far as actual measurements of the bottle, the post about 30ml bottles being 33 is about right.
The chemical industry build a 10% buffer into almost every container up to and including the giant tanks like Dow, Rhome & Haas and others use.

That may very well be the intent of the OP but my post had no indication of anyone "shorting" me. I was just showing how some places fill it exactly to the amount you order and then some just top the bottles off. No biggie. No harm, no foul.
