Bottles And Size For Use/Storage

[Scooter Bob]

I know I've read that a totally full bottle of juice is better than having a partial bottle(besides the fact you have more, no jokes please.) I assume that the void of air degrades the quality of the juice sooner correct?

I am in the process of buying bottles, first purchase, and it made me think that it most likely is a good idea of buying the smallest sizes up through the 5ml, slide into a empty 10ml bottle , etc. etc. down to 5ml bottles for the partial 10ml bottles. It sounds like a lot of work, but I really don't vape enough to count on emptying 10ml and above containers all that soon. I also have a few opened 30ml bottles to think about. Thoughts? Bob

I'm curious about this too, also, what size does everyone use to mix, and to carry with them? How many of what should I get, and from where? I haven't ordered anything yet, but I'm making my shopping list lol, any help?

Most people that have posted about plastic bottles have used U.S. Plastics at the below link. These are what they call the Boston bottles with the inside dropper that we see on all our e-juice bottles. I just placed an order with them myself for some 6/10/15cc size bottles (1ml = 1cc) (10 of each). I like the natural color because that is the semi-clear so I can see how much is inside through the bottle. And the prices are dirt cheap too!

Go here.

Hope this helps.

While I buy my bottles of juice in 30ml bottles, I have found a method that works for me. I have no problem carrying around a 10ml bottle, I go through it within a few days. So I mix my own of a 50% PG and 50% VG into a 10ml bottle. Now if you are comfortable with a 5ml bottle then just breakdown your 30ml bottles into several 5ml bottles. I would not worry about any amount of air left in a bottle, if it is tightly sealed it will be fine. Just keep your spare bottles in a cool dark place.

Air and light does degrade Nicotine content over time as well as warm temperatures

i buy a pack of cheap food color and clean the bottles out that way the color on the cap reminds me of what i put in there and with this method i dont wait for shipping the grocery store does fine

I keep 30ml bottles in the frig and reuse 5-10ml bottles to refill. I use cartos so there is no need to carry additional juice away from home. I just put a spare carto or 2 in my pocket. All bottles have some air in them so I do not see that as an issue.

I just bought some 3ml glass dropper vials from specialtybottle.com.

I like the idea of a smaller size, but the bottles I have now have child proof caps which make me feel more safe with a lower chance of them opening up in my pocket.

Also the fact that they're plastic with a lower chance of shattering.

The vials were cheap though so I thought I'd give them a try.

Big thread in her somewhere saying that juice should NOT be stored in fridge. Dark, dry, medium temp. place.

If you're concerned with air, just squeeze out as much of the air out of the bottle and re-cap it. It will stay "sucked in" until you open it, when the "missing" air gets sucked back in from the atmosphere.

Of course, this only works with plastic bottles.

I do this with opened bottles of soda to keep them from going flat. Even a closed soda bottle that is only partially full will lose some of the carbonation to the air that's trapped in the bottle. Get rid of that air, and the carbonation stays in the soda, and it's always like opening the bottle for the first time.
