Im looking for a mess of CLEAR various ml bottles for mixing with. I originally got some from TW with my first order, but all they had were dark bottles with labels on them at the time. While Im sure it is better for storage, I really like to be able to see 1) what is in the bottle 2) how much of it is left :p in case i didnt label it.

Prefer the ones that have screw tops with small snap-off drip tops for dripping!

edit: I did search a bit but I must suck

diyflavorshack.com ... Dawn has them in a ton of different sizes. They are clear with easy to remove dropper tops and screw caps. She also sells DIY kits. I've never ordered them, but people say she loads them with a ton of stuff (dropper bottles, droppers, funnels, etc.). Also, she always sends free gifts! I've gotten small bottles of juice (one of which is my favorite (turtles), blue foam for my carts, funnels, etc. And, she has great juice herself!

Noted, site is down atm, but i could see what they had.

I remember a site being listed a while back by someone who did youtube blogs. that had bulk with every different size, etc. trying to remember, us plastics or something.

The will be open tomorrow. Sorry I forgot to mention that to you. I just went to US Plastics and they didn't have any clear bottles.

I ordered a whole bunch of European glass bottles. Says dropper bottles but it's the wrong kind. Eurodropper Glass Bottles
I should have ordered the Boston round: Amber Boston Round Glass Bottles - Specialty Bottle

Live and learn! Maybe I can find the droppers separetly. Bummer!!! :(
Edit: They have Clear, Blue and Amber.

Actually, bluesuede, those bottles are exactly what I have for long term storage of unflavored nic-juice, as well as other DIY ingredients. The eurodropper insert makes the ideal, non-spillable "port" for syringe to get liquids without having to touch the liquid. I believe these types of bottles are the best choice for ultra-high nic juices, like 100 mg, where drips on the hands could actually make you sick, and the risk of an accidentally tipped bottle spilling its dangerous contents all over is effectively removed. When I get a large amount of unflavored juice, I transfer it to 50 mL bottles of this type, and store the juice in a cold place, taking juice from just one bottle at a time via syringe, which if contamination occurs keeps the rest of the stored juice clean. Also, syringe measuring of DIY ingredients is far more accurate, safe, and quick compared to glass droppers, which may produce unequal drop sizes depending on the viscosity of the liquid, and little drippies all over are more likely.

So you may still want to get the other type of droppers, but for safer and more effective storage and usage, I think you made the right choice with the euros! :)

Ecig vendors generally mark up the prices for dropper bottles a lot. Here is the USPlastics bottles I get in bulk:

Cylinder and Boston Round Bottles with Dropper Caps | U.S. Plastic Corp.

10 mL are shown, with 3 and 6 mL given on the same page.

Note: long term storage of very high nic juices should be done in glass, not plastic. Nic can actually eat away at some plastic by leaching the plasticizers out of it. It depends on the plastic, but if you have an old plastic dropper bottle of high-nic unflavored that is starting to taste of plastic, that is what is happening! Many plasticizers are particularly bad for male reproductive organs. 8-o

I store and dispense for DIY from glass bottles, and keep the amount of DIY juices I make in plastic bottles to 10 mL or less. 22 mg unflavored VG in a plastic bottle I got in Sept now has a fairly strong plastic taste, and I won't vape it.

I was going to get amber glass dropper bottles for pre-mixing cuts of my 36 mg juice, down to 13.3mg (for 10% flavor mixes), down to 15mg (for 20% flavor mixes) and then using 3 ml for experimenting with flavors, and 6/10 ml for flavors ive decided to make more of.

If I vape 2ml a day and have 20 6ml bottles of 12mg, thats about 2 months of storage of 12mg in plastic, do you think that will be an issue?

That sounds fine. Two months is not very long term, but YMMV. I have found some of my 4 month old juice in plastic is perfectly fine. Other juice in plastic for less time is tasting of plastic some. Also, at this early stage in your vaping, and I am going by the number of posts you have made only, how you are vaping in two months may not be how you think you will be vaping. But your plans for various sizes depending on how much you like the juice is good, and I do this too. I generally do not have more than about 8 small bottles of flavored juice made at any given time, as my own tastes change and what I like one week may not be what I want the next. And sometimes I just throw caution to the wind, and combine a bunch of juices that have only a mL or less in their bottles. Great flavors come from this! I plan my unflavored high-nic storage to the letter, as this is the constant source, and it has to be preserved well, but I generally am far more day-to-day flexible with flavors, but conservative in the amounts I make at one time. Easy to get sick of a flavor, even if you think it is your "all-day vape" at first, and then you have all this juice that just sits, and there can be an internal clock of decomposition with some flavors, particularly fruits which are esters that can hydrolyze. This is just my own opinion of course.

Is that what's called dumb luck? :D I have a dz bottles varying sizes. I guess I'll keep 'em. Largest being 4 oz for VG/PG mix. Also have some 60mg unflavored that I will store in one of the larger ones. I prefer glass for this. For bulk, blue will be VG/PG mix, amber will be straight nic. Easy to tell apart that way w/o having to label. Will order the Boston Round though to keep my mixed flavors in. Thanks for the tip!
