I have some here, and calipers on hand. Happy to oblige.
Sizes measured with cap screwed on.
Height approximately 5 1/2" or 140 mm.
Width slightly less than 2 1/2" or 62mm.

Edit: diameter, not width, DOH!

Thank you. I may be ordering some of my bottles from HV (with 1 or 2 L of nic) because it comes out to be quite a bit cheaper due to the free shipping at $50+ Too bad they don't sell 16 oz bottles. Shipping kills you on bottles.

I decided against the mason jars because I can't find them locally or online any cheaper than boston rounds. Screw it. My friend has some free ones, but they only put a dent in what I have to decant.

After I recover from the vapocalypse and Christmas shopping, I’ll need to make a final list of things I may need to stock up on. After I pay house insurance. :blink: Strategic list. Orings and things. coils for tanks I was PIF’d. Maybe nic? Pretty mods that are not black like maybe more built in battery mods. I think I only have three and one of those is going on 6 years old. I don’t need much more of anything. I have nothing rainbow colored that I can remember so maybe something like that.

Don't want to help open the political door here, but the pendulum has swung. Conservative used to be partially defined as politics that seeks to control behavior. If you look at most bans taking place the last couple of decades, it's not predominantly the conservatives doing the banning (big gulps, straws, hurtful words, Happy Meal toys, Barbie, etc.). Neither party has anything close to a monopoly on banning things.
I am the last person to talk politics (or religion). I stay far away from those discussions in my happy little bubble. :lol: I was commenting more on how Alabama people in general think, not politicians.

Go right to glassbottleoutlet.com and price them out there. That amazon price seems way high.
Nah, sorry, it comes out to about the same... 11 bucks for the bottles and 11 bucks for the shipping. (But I think I paid like 11 shipping for a box of a dozen)

Got my 2x Eleaf Pico Squeeze 2 TC Squonk MOD 100W and my 2x Venvii Baby Ness TC Box MOD 120W in my vape mail today, but I also had a 2nd package (all from vapsourcing) with 6 replacement bottles for the Pico Squeeze that were also out for delivery, but only the other package was delivered. Then 45 minutes later the tracking showed the bottles as being delivered so I thought maybe the mail lady doubled back and delivered them, but they were not in my box.

Called USPS and put a claim in, but I am pretty confident they are lost (delivered to the wrong address). :(

    The bottles are only $11 but then they want $20 for shipping. I'll stick with the same exact bottles from Amazon for $22.

    Hurry up! Wasn't that like only a 2-3 day sale or something?

    It ends tonight, I have time, I think.

    I picked up an ileaf ijust 21700 tube mod kit, I did not ralize it was not adjustable, ack, impulse buy LOL But at least it takes the bigger batt incase I need it. On sale at Vaporl. Plus got some extra coils. It comes with the ello duro tank, hope one of the rba's I have fits :) Supposed to take Smok baby beast coils (have the RBA too) I also have the Hellbeat RBA, maybe one will fit.
    Hellbeast rba should work, as would Vaporesso gt series.

    Got the freezer in, it's set up in the basement. I'm waiting for it to stabilize a bit before powering on.

    The green tarot nano kit came in from eightvape. It's a nice little setup, I'll rotate the Solo into long-term stash, use the tarot for general coil checks.

    3 weeks since I ordered the Brunhilde MTL RTA from vapesourcing, hopefully they'll get more in and ship soon.

    I am basically down to coils if I find a deal and odds and ends like orings and glass. I did put in a flavor order because I wanted to try a new recipe and was missing a few of the flavorings. Mostly I am still waiting on slow boats from china.

    Over the holiday I will finally be getting my tall locking cabinet and the BIL will help me put it together (Wrecked a wrist and manhandling those big heavy pieces alone would not go well). Once that is setup I can really sort through things and inventory and make lists of what is still needed. I can't imagine it is much of anything left to get though.

    Problem is, clear glass bottles seem hard to find in 8 and 16oz. So I may have to just go with Amber. I'll keep looking, but I'm kinda tired of shopping for what seems to not be sold.


    Thank you very much, but I'll have to keep looking.

    They are obviously dropshipping. Nothing wrong with that but with heavy, voluminous items like glass bottles, shipping is already expensive. When you buy from a dropshipper, it can get really expensive.

    Example: I put a total of 41 bottles in my cart, 2 different sizes. They were being shipped from 2 different states (dropshipper). The result was the shipping was more than the cost of the bottles, cancelling out their decent pricing.

    Even after their 10% off newsletter subscription coupon, still up there.

    So if I take those 29 4 oz bottles and reduce it to 1 bottle, the chipping is almost the same at $23. Dropshipper. Not good for stuff like bottles.
    Yeah, I was really surprised to see how little there was out there in clear. But for 8 oz. or more, maybe canning jars are the way to go. Hey, it works for food, why not? Should be as good as anything else, anyway. And they probably stack better, etc.

    I'm curious, though - why does everyone want a large bottles? Fewer/larger bottles take up less space, I guess? I'm lucky to have plenty of freezer space, so I can do it more geared toward convenience.

    I wanted to suggest used, sterilized beer bottles (the kind with pry off caps), caps, and a capping tool, but then I realized that it would cost more than buying boston rounds w/the polycone caps. Unless you already have a homebrew setup.

    I have 19.5 liters. If I used 8oz that would be almost 80 bottles. Lol I usually keep my working 1 liter bottle at room temp and it lasts my wife and I 14 months.

    We plan on cutting down from 18-20mg to 9-10mg over the next 5 years to stretch out our stash. Once we get to that point I will get a couple 16oz bottles and just have half a liter at room temp. Otherwise it would be 28 months at room temp and I do not want to do that.

    Cost per bottle in my case. I bought 12 8oz. bottles for $1.69 per bottle recently. I wanted 4oz. but the price of the 4oz. was $1.39 per bottle, or $2.78 per 8oz. 16oz. bottles have an even bigger discount, but I like handling the 8oz. better. If I was really strapped for cash, had a larger amount to store, and found a good deal on them, I'd be using either 32oz., or 1 Gal, and step it down to smaller sizes. Example: 5 Gal of nic base to be stored. (4) 1 Gal containers, (3) 1 Liter, (2) 250ml, (4) 60ml, and a little left over.

    As far as the mason jars, they aren''t any cheaper in my area and in that respect I would rather go with boston rounds because of the second thing you brought up....

    If I go with smaller boston rounds, I can fit more than with mason jars or big boston rounds in my limited space. Right now, I leaning toward buying 1 case of 8oz and the rest 4 oz. Will use the 4 oz first. Then as I get toe the 8oz, i have small bottles to repack the partial bottles of 8 oz.

    I might also unfortunately going go with the amber because they are cheaper than clear from what I've seen and funds are tight, to say the least.

    Still shopping around, though.

    People are probably going for larger bottles barbecue it will take less time to decant.

    1/2 liter at room temp? That's a lot when you consider to make 1/2 liter of juice at 9-10mg you need about about 50ml of nic base. That's another reason why I'm opting to go with a bunch of small bottles.

    To each his own, though.

    @UncleJunkle as far as storage is concerned, do you drink cheap wine? 1Gal glass bottles with caps (wine included) are pretty cheap and clear, sterilize those, buy a few smaller sizes for breaking down your supply, might be more cost effective. Homebrew shops have the Gal bottles even cheaper, but then you don't get the wine. :) Just some ideas.

    I bought most of my nic from myfreedomsmokes and bought the bottles from them at the same time. For long term storage the liter bottle of nic goes into a 1 liter amber glass bottle then into a zip lock bag then bubble wrap then a second zip lock bag. If I don't have anything better for labeling I put the packing slip into the ziplock bag. When the nic is needed for mixing I try to make sure it's well mixed then divide into 4 250 ml amber glass bottles. This system minimizes storage space and is sufficient precautions for me. I'm leaving my stockpiled mods and atomizers new in the box for now. Even though not in the stockpile I've got a drawer for mixing supplies, another one for miscelaneous tools, parts, etc. I mix 200-400 ml at a time and measure PG, VG, and nic on my digital kitchen scale and my all-in-one flavor wiith a 5 ml graduated glass cylinder.

    In my younger days I was a pipe smoker. The hobby part of vaping reminds me of that.
