Cobalt blue bottles.....

[James416]

Hey fellow Canadians, I have a question for you..... I've recently discovered DIY ejuice and the need for glass bottles, my plan has been spend as little on vendor juice searching my favs while trying my luck making my own, I've been able to make a few I really like but still want to have some vendor flavs on hand that I can't seem to replicate, I bought 12 30ml cobalt blue dropper bottles to transfer vendor juice and my own juice to because I just feel safer using glass with everything, what I'd like to know is does anybody know of any cheap places in the GTA area selling these types of bottles? They don't have to be dropper style cause I can use syringes, but they must be cobalt blue. I paid around 3$ each plus shipping for the ones I have but that's too much. I did find a place In the U.S. selling them fairly cheap but shipping is killer, if there's anybody in the GTA into DIY or even glass transfer that would want to split on shipping then shoot me a PM and we can talk about it, that question isn't to start a coop or anything I'm just looking for cobalt blue bottles at a worthy price so if one other is in the same boat we can work something out, otherwise I'm contimplating ordering a bunch and putting some on the classies but would rather skip that part... If you know a local place then that's what I'd prefer.. THX ppl, CHEERS

I'm not sure this is the answer you'll have expected, but have you checked a local specialty-smoke/head shop? lol.... You'll probably have to ask someone for them, and they'll probably pull out a big bin of boxes of every size, shape and color of bottle imaginable. The ones I've seen tend to be pretty cheap, though admittedly not as cheap as online in bulk.

Yea but shipping is brutal, it's still cheaper then what's out here but if I can find a better price then yea, I'm in no rush really, reason I asked that is I figured why not help someone else out in the meantime of saving money myself right..

Doh! Sorry.... missed the part where they must be cobalt blue.... the places I knew about had bigger sizes and lots of amber.... but then I'm in BC, so they probably carry bigger selections.... 'nuff said

I asked about bottles in this thread; http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/canada-forum/312274-where-do-you-get-glass-dropper-bottles-there-physical-store-toronto.html

fortytwo suggested Efston science, which at least has some. I'm not sure about the sizes or colours since I haven't made it there.

Some natural food stores have them though the selection is usually pretty random. I checked a Noah's when I was in the area and all they seemed to have was the larger amber bottles with dropper.

In no way meant as a criticism rather an observation. It amazes me that we used to spend, without much thought, $12 to $25 per day on stinkies we would .... out and discard aggressively with disgust and here we are working our collective tails off pinching pennies on kit that should last for almost ever.

Lmfao you seem pretty new like I am but maybe one day you'll understand the need to save some cash somewhere when spending close to 100$ just to get 1 atomizer (ERA) I got 2, then Mods such as a VVG that holds batteries where 1 is 10$, if you knew the money I've been spending you'd understand why I try to save.. I also quit the (stickies) to save, not spend spend spend like I have been, have to start somewhere right lol

Have you tried looking in the New Age-y shops? The ones that sell crystals and weird tea and have psychic readings and tarot readings?

No idea what these places even are lol, there has to be a place selling these bottles locally, I'm running outta room and just placed another vender order so I need some soon.. I may just bite the bullet and order from specialtybottle and pay the 22$ shipping..

 

[Qcaj]

I'm in calgary, so I dunno about Toronto, but here those stores are all over Kensington, Inglewood, and other neighborhoods that have a lot of (gulilble) foot traffic.

alternatively...
30 ML Cobalt Blue Boston Round Glass Bottle : Glass Boston Rounds
$103 for 100 blue 30mL bottles and 100 child safety caps. Basically $1 each including shipping to Canada (I used a Toronto postal code).

Or you could ask this guy. (<-- Kijiji Toronto link)

Specialtybottle turns out cheaper still, shipping was 32$ on 20 items

The problem I found was most bottle suppliers tend to lean towards wholesale, 100+ orders. We already talked about it in PMs and getting small quantity tends to head into the 3$ area up here. I ended up paying 40$ (after tax) for 10*30ml+dropper cobalts, 1*250 and 1*500 amber locally, no shipping helps bring the costs down per bottle.

There should be some kind of aromatherapy/holistic supplier in your area. Hm, don't know how local these guys are but it's a start on the bottles and 30ml starts at .88 each. You can always call and see if they stock glass droppers not on the website, or can direct you to someone who does.

Bottle: Amber Glass 2ml, 4ml, 10 ml, 30 ml, 100ml or Blue Glass 50 ml | Anarres Natural Health

You could order bottles from one shop, and caps from another. Caps may be on the pricier side due to materials and manufacturing, but you should be able to find everything under 2$ per with some shopping.

Here's another supplier, cheaper still and has droppers.
First result I got searching for "canada cobalt 30ml bottles"

Cobalt Blue Glass Bottle - 1 oz/30 ml : Soap & Lotion Making Products & Supplies, | Canada, United States - Saffire Blue
Glass Dropper 1 oz 20-400 : Soap & Lotion Making Products & Supplies, | Canada, United States - Saffire Blue

20 units of each shipped to me via canada post was 25, cost of product was 21 for a total of 46. They have an Ontario location, so you could probably do a pickup if it's near you, looks like 1-2 hour drive from GTA (165km by road according to Google Earth).
