Caution with Alien Visions E-Juice's (avejuice.com) new 30mL bottles

[soula]

I recently ordered some e-juice from Alien Visions in their new 30mL size.

The juice was fine, but unfortunately the bottle the juice was shipped in gave me a lot of trouble.

The 30mL size consists of a very rigid bottle with a screw-on nozzle top, and snap-on cap.

The cap, being a simple snap on cap, isn't appropriate for taking with you on the go, as there's the constant risk of the cap popping off accidentally and leaking juice.

The main problem though is that the bottle is so stiff that it makes getting the juice out of it a real pain. The bottle, being stiff, makes it hard to squeeze, and there's no easy way to dispense without using both hands and considerable effort. I've had to get a different bottle on my own to dispense with.

If you order the 30mL size, plan on getting a separate container for it for ease of use.

I've run into those stiffer bottles... what a pain. That's why I keep and clean all my empty bottles. I also have a Brothers labeller that's indispensable when rebottleing nicjuices.

Yeah, AVE's 30ml bottles are real stiff. Here's what I do: 1. I take a clean, empty bottle stick it on the end of the needle cap the 30ml bottle comes with and squeezed air into the 30ml bottle and the juice drains nicely into my smaller bottle. You need to do something like that because AVE's 30ml bottle is useless otherwise. However, I love that AVE's bottles are dark.

In previous threads AVE has noted they will fill a customer's bottles for them. So if you've got a favorite bottle type and are into recycling, wash them up, dry 'em, and ship them off for your order. Contact them ahead of time to let them know they're coming of course.

This is a great option that they do offer than many others don't. You can get your bottle, recycle, etc.

I'm sorry you had an unsatisfactory service experience but it's been my experience that their product is worth the pursuit. -Magnus

Just look at their new 30ml bottles as being containers for bulk liquid storage. I use a syringe to draw liquid out of the 30ml bottles and refill the green 18ml bottles (which I like a lot).

Bottom line... I don't care if their juice comes in a ziplock baggie or an old washed-out coke bottle from the 1980's. I'm still gonna order it, because it's worth it.

I just got my first couple of 30ml bottles from AVE yesterday. Mine only have a screw-on lid. No type of nozzle or snap-on cap. I am just using a syringe to fill a 12ml bottle, I just assumed that was the idea, kind of thing. Hm.

Yeh, hate those bottles... I always fill 10ml or 6ml bottles for on-the-go... to get stuff out of them, I literally use my teeth...or some pliers... to create a soft spot in the plastic bottle... once I make the soft spot, I can get juice out with ease.

With stiff bottles, I usually can find a soft spot on them to drip juice without a major flooding. I understand the stiffer bottles are actually better for the juice as they are made with less chemicals.
