All glass, baby

[thinkingaboutit]

Specialty bottle order is done. No more procrastinating.

I got:

Four amber 4oz bottles for nic storage
Two 9oz blue jars (one is a spare) to hold my base mix
Six 1oz blue bottles with cap
Two 1/2oz bottles with dropper
Four 1/2 oz bottles with cap

That sets me up for rotation with twelve flavors. Plenty of nic storage and a big jar of base. For about $30 that's hard to beat. Now I can stop even considering if plastic is affecting my juice. What plastic bottles I have (lots) will get used for sharing/PIF and I'll save a couple for travel and just in case.

Overkill? How many flavors do you keep ready? Even if I don't use them all...it was cheap and I'm prepared.

Sounds like a Nice Set-Up.

... Two 1/2oz bottles with dropper ... plastic bottles ... save a couple for travel ... How many flavors do you keep ready? ...

I'm trying to convert to glass also. Glass bottles for my menthol was my first priority.

How much did you spend for your 1/2 oz dropper bottles? Just curious. I got my 30 ml (1 oz) dropper bottle for $1.69 from madvapes.

Good point on saving a couple plastic bottles for travel. Didn't think of that. I'll make sure to hang on to a couple.

I keep all my flavors ready if I like them. I only have 18 flavors at this point, so it's not that much. The only one I don't have mixed is Lemon. It was like sucking on air freshener or cleaning products. The reason I have them all ready is to make it easier when I fill my tanks. I always get creative and never know what I'll mix together for the day. (Sometimes they don't last the day, like my garlic-pinapple. It was good, but not all day good)

Nah, not overkill at all. When I started DIY glass was my second purchase. I have 13 cobalt 30ml dropper bottles for mixes, a 250ml and 500ml amber bottle for bases (one for nic base, one for vg). Only use 3 of the blue bottles presently, but steeping 5 small batches of new flavours, with another 5 planned for next week. My goal is to have all in use and then have to run out to the store to buy more in a mad panic. Already know I'll be needing a new amber to hold PG, and next order I'll be getting more nic base so will need yet more amber to store that.

With shipping added to the mix I end up saving money buying them all locally from an aromatherapy supply shop.

Jim. With dropper they were 1.01 before shipping.

And glad to see I didn't go insane. I thought it was a happy ground between not enough and too much.

Just bought 72 15ml amber bottles w/ caps off of ebay for 29.00 free shipping.

Sad thing is I filled 55 of them already. Was thinking xmas presents to those I have converted off stinkies

Glass all the way.

Also, wiz labs often has sales on glass. I bought some blue 30ml dropper bottles for a great price there

 

[Cookster]

I bought 50 15ml, 2 60ml and 4 30ml ambers, and even store my flavorings in them. Glass all the way, baby!

i to have gone all glass. all flavors,pg,vg and nic are in glass. iv got 12 2oz dropper bottles coming for my juice and about to order some smaller bottles for juice testing just cant figure out if i should go with droppers or with out.. all mine came from a ebay store for very cheap. the flavor bottles i got have polypro seals in the caps and i got 36 1oz bottles for 20 bucks shipped. i still keep the bulk flavors in the 4 oz bottles tpa ships it in after i fill the 1oz bottles to mix from.

 

[Cookster]

Sometimes, certain flavors will eat the rubber of the dropper tops, so I would just get tops.

 

[Oh.Leever]

is there a one stop shop site for all these glass bottles? if not i'm going to have to find an aromatherapy supply shop. #lazy

 

[thinkingaboutit]

1+ for Specialtybottle.

They also have some Cool Tins for Holding all sorts of Small Items.

I'm so excited...I have spare time later this evening.

6 30ml bottles are getting known good mixes (simple, but good).
6 15ml batches of flavors I haven't yet tried.

I'll still have untried flavors...but I will also have 270 ml of juice if my base lasts...I think I am down to 240ml or so of base. Plenty to keep me going on known good and a few trials. Life is stressful, I LOVE that when I do this I focus and clear my head. Therapy in a bottle, for however bad that sounds I am filling the bottle compared to the normal use of the phrase.

Next time around I am going to try a few THREE flavor mixes! 8-o

Do you mean glass droppers or are there rubber droppers?

 

[debb]

anyone know where I can get glass 3 & 5 ml dropper bottles?

My droppers are glass. Not sure about all...but mine are.

anyone know where I can get glass 3 & 5 ml dropper bottles?

Honestly, that's a bit small for glass I would guess. I feel a little stupid paying pretty close to the same price for 15 and 30ml bottles...

Any reason you want them that small? If it is for sample batches, just don't fill the 15ml bottle

I've seen him around. He is a straight shooter, but he does play big. It seems to fit him.

I say do it. I'm partial to blue, but the price seems good you have a few big ones for base/nic storage. I would skip a lot of the smaller ones personally, but they won't hurt if you don't eat them
