Are glass containers safe to reuse after mixing?

[my4jewels]

I have a 70 ml bottle of 60mg nic juice coming, and I am going to cut it down as soon as I get it.. I don't want that stuff hanging around the house. I'm probably going to be using a big glass measuring cup to mix it with my pg and vg because I plan to cut it down quite a lot to around 10-12 mg nic. Then I will pour it into smaller bottles to be stored and locked away for my diy pursuits.

Will my glass measuring cup be suitable for normal kitchen purposes after a really thorough washing? If not, I will get somehting and dedicate it to my hobby.

Just so no one worries about me, I have latex gloves, an apron, and a covered workspace. I am not taking any chances with 60mg, even tho it's not full strength, I realize the dangers and have read the warnings. I am going to work with it while I am alone with no distractions.

If you wash and dry out your glass measuring cup it will be fine. That goes for e-juice bottle also.

When mixing, I like to do everything over a Stainless Steel cookie sheet. If you spaz out and tip something over, there is no way it can get onto the table or desk. You can also wash it off when your done so no residue is possible left on the table top or desk.

Thanks, that's a relief! The bottles to store my unflavored nic juice will probably be plastic water bottles, so those will most likely be cleaned and kept for diy.

You might want to consider getting amber glass bottles for long-term storage. The supplier at the link below sells individual bottles (as opposed to case only)

I'm not a big fan of Plastic bottles for Anything. The first thing I do is transfer into Glass Bottles. Glass doesn't absorb tastes or leach anything into the juice. They can also be washed and reused.

You can find all kinds of bottles on the net. I like Cobalt Blue Dropper Bottles. They are a little more expensize but they look too darn nice. I get them here.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that! Amber glass it is! I looked at the site, and I think I prefer the amber glass jars, easier to get into. Amber Straight Sided Glass Jars - Specialty Bottle

 

[zoiDman]

The Straight Jars are nice but do give some thought to the dropper bottles also.

I'm going to order green glass bottles, just to be different!

Got a slew of 30mL brown and blue bottles from TW, Halo, Vapor Station, etc. Gad, I never throw anything away...

 

[Randyrtx]

Same here Max, I've got a good collection of 15 and 30ml bottles from Johnson Creek, some with the "Euro dropper" caps that are great for filling a syringe from.

Need to grab some 4 oz. bottles for mixing batches of my main vapes for steeping.

 

[bmwjen]

I don't know how I got so lucky, but I got a case of 12, 1 oz amber bottles with the nice droppers from a medical supplier on ebay for $15 shipped.
Of course I've got my halo, virgin vapor, & rockstar glass dropper bottles here too.

I do store my nic in 4oz amber bottles in the refrigerator. I get my nic in VG........it doesn't freeze, but needs to sit out a while before using.

 

[Randyrtx]

Well ya know, you can freeze them e-cigs things 'cause they all got anti-freeze in 'em.

I would imagine so. Bet you could slice it like jellied cranberry sauce.

And the best thing is: after vaping, your tongue won't freeze to the flagpole.

 

[Critter Man]

Concerning the OP: you could wash and re-use for food, but I would get one for DIY after a while anyway. Of course, wait until you know what works best for you.

 

[salemgold]

I use the amber euro dropper bottles. The blunt tip needles that I use fits perfectly through the hole and much less chance of spilling any of the 100 mg nic that I use

For a dedicated meassuring device, nothing beats a Graduated Cylinder.

This is also a nice set but perhaps a tad small...

I'm not really into washing a bunch of stuff but a Graduated Cylinder is nice to have around when you are first starting to do DIY.
