I was looking for those pressure seals for the bottles of nic that go into the freezer. Amazon only carries the ones that fit on 16 and 32 ounce sized bottles so I went to here for other bottle sizes
Pressure Sensitive Seals | Search | Glass Bottles, Jars, Closures & More | Packaging Options Direct
Was going to buy until they wanted $12 + to ship these items. I didn't do it. They weight nothing so I guess in order for it to make sense to buy you need to purchase bottles to go alone. Bummer.
:(
Do you really want these seals? Are you sure they are good for long term storage?
People usually use poly cone caps, they look like these:

I never bought one, boston round bottles usually come already with these caps.

OMGosh, Amazon is driving me mad. My current order placed July 3rd, which has my Amber glass jars, will arrive on July 29th. Pathetic! Two liters of nic waiting their arrival. :mad:

Yikes that is terrible! :( With prime free shipping I get my orders within 2 days, even delivered on Sundays now.

Best place I have found price-wise for both the amber boston rounds, and caps/closures if you need to buy more of those separately, is Glassbottleoutlet.com on there the bottles come with the caps included and shipping is reasonable, my last order of over 200 bottles (I use a variety for other purposes) was $13.95

I was wanting an added layer of protection for the nic in the freezer. These would be in addition to the poly cone caps not replacing them.

I believe they are for a flat caps (like on milk bottles), not for conical ones.

I think because the cone on the polycone caps depresses down into the mouth of the bottles you would not be able to use the seals on addition to the polycone caps. They make eurodropper insert caps, which are kinda like those seals if you want to go that way, I understand Kurt uses those and I have myself on several occasions, Specialty Bottle sells bottles with the eurodripper caps included.

    Which ones did you get for that price. I am seeing much higher for 200 so I must be looking at the wrong ones. TIA

    Yeah, but I always hated those since they are so hard to get back out.
    Thanks

    I find that I can re-wick fairly easily at least two times before I need to recoil. While I have built a few coils - I mostly just re-wick my coils then change to a new one when I need to. Been saving my coils because I will have a huge sit down some day and recoil a lot of them and start the cycle again.

    Said it once and I will say it again - a nephew with sharp eyes will be willing to recoil for you so he can get enough cash to see a movie...
    My coils last for months. Just re-wick every few days. I use the STM RBA and a Serpent Mini mostly and SS 316L always. My nephews live around 150 miles away. Hopefully hubby will have steadier hands than I when the time comes. lol

    Mainly I purchased 4oz amber boston rounds w/polycone caps and roller bottles, also a mix of 1/2oz, 1oz, 2oz, 8oz, 16oz, 32oz amber/clear with a variety of closures.

    I was not tempted at all to buy cartos even @ .99 for 5 but I couldn't resist buying another subox mini kit @ $28.99 :D
    I still have a couple a boxes of the boge's somewhere in my stash but never got into using the carto tanks. I couldn't justify getting into them at this late date but as in all things related to vape, to each their own :thumbs:

    Can I ask which gauge wire you use? I am throwing a few RTA's in my carts that I plan to buy (been skimming this thread and the RTA forum for ideas of which to buy) before the end of the month and I have never done RTA yet so I will be buying a few dif tanks and wire gauges most likely. Currently enjoy my 316ss notch and 0.5 coils in the cubis/pro tanks in TC mode.

    I use 26 gauge. My coils are around .4 ohms.
