Anybody know which of these glass jar lid liners is the 'healthiest' and safest for e-juice storage?

Considering I might put acidic flavors like cinnamon in these jars, which I read eats away at some plastics, rubbers, etc.
I'm also concerned about chemicals that might leach from lid liners. They sell pre-lined caps with either no liner, which isn't air tight and will evaporate juice, a PS pressure seal which is just a glue-on taper evident disc that I don't want, and the F217 foam made of PE, whatever that is.
Click Browse By Style and you'll find PS, F217, unlined options and a few others. Non-Dispensing Caps | Non-Dispensing Lids With No Minimums!

Or I can buy an unlined lid and add any of these seal discs. I can cut it to size unless it's only available too small. I'll be using mostly 4oz jars which take a 58mm liner, 30ml/1oz jars that take a 43mm seal disc, and 60ml/2oz jars that take a 53mm disc.
Liners/Seal Discs | Product Catalog

If you click a disc ^ that will fit what I'm using (43,53, and 58mm) it will tell you the material and you can click it and get a description.

The company could only tell me that all their liners and seal discs are safe for contact with food, but that doesn't mean one might leach more chemicals than the other. Yes, I drink out of plastic and freeze food in plastic (though I don't microwave in plastic) etc, but I'd like to keep vaping as prestine as possible. Thanks

ps, under blue glass jars is one of only two 1oz glass jar I've found online if you might want them besides the 'bottle' bullet-shaped kind that fall over and roll easier in a drawer or something. You can also get free samples of almost anything on the site.

I have no idea, but I admire your tenacity. There's no way I would put that much thought into living healthy. Life just wouldn't be that much fun for me if I had to put that much effort into it.
Having said that, you go through a LOT of effort to not get unhealthy stuff in your system. Have you considered just quitting vaping, but keeping your supplies available and working for those times you would otherwise smoke? That's probably the healthiest solution of all. I'm not trying to bash you, but if you're really that concerned, the best solution would be to wean yourself off of everything, not just smoking.

I shoulda googled all this. Don't really wanna join a chemsitry forum or something to ask but might. I'll update any findings.

"you go through a LOT of effort to not get unhealthy stuff in your system. Have you considered just quitting vaping, but keeping your supplies available and working for those times you would otherwise smoke?"

Nah, again, I store food in plastic, I'll probably eventually convert to all glass, I use a microwave sometimes, no chlorine filter on my shower yet, I wish I could have only organic foods available, but I don't eat that much organics, but chemicals from with non-organics probably get into blood stream easier through lungs than eating. Stuff like that. I'm a germaphobe too though.
I figured while I'm chosing glass over plastic to store e-juice, I might as well get the best lid.

I'm not buying from the company in the OP anymore because their shipping and handling is ridiculous. It probably wouldn't matter much which liner I chose anyway.
I just need a small order untill I DIY for bigger jars I don't know which size yet. They charge a $10 small order fee if under $50, handling fee is $7.5/$10. They allow up to ten free samples (no duplicate items though) which is $7.50 including shipping and handling, but if I order just one small jar with that, then all the other fees apply and I think it ships in the same box and I'll be charged shipping for everything.
I just wanted colored glass jars (not bottles since they fall over and roll in a drawer easier), but I'll keep them in a case/drawer out of light if clear. Lots of companies like sunburst and others I found forum searching 'glass jar' titles have much lower shipping and handling costs for clear 1oz clear jar. Pretty sure a juice vendor did an 8 week test with 'colored glass jar in basement', colored glass jar on window sill', 'clear glass jar window sill', etc, and after 5 weeks all stayed the same nic level but the clear one in the window lost just a tiny bit of nicotine. Mayeb UV helps steep e-liquid despite people saying to steep in cool dark place because many have claimed good results speed steeping by putting glass jars in hot water. Either way, I'll just keep them in a drawer and then buy buy the larger colored ones almost anywhere when I DIY so I don't worry about flavor loss or anything if I leave them out.

Amber 1oz glass jars here if anyone really needs, but no reply on price and shipping & handling yet: NailSpark.com
EDIT:^ dead pricing link, just getting clear jars for now.
