Cobalt bottles

[bcollier9253]

I just received my order of 100 cobalt 15ml bottles, droppers and 50 poly cone caps today from https://packagingoptionsdirect.com/. $78.00 and some change.Ordered them on the 10th and got them today, pretty impressive I think!. Anyway I have a question for ya'll. Would anyone recommend boiling them to clean or do you think they would be alright?

I just rinse in hot water and make sure there good and dry before I use them.

I always boil my bottles. No telling what could be in them from the manufacturer. I then rinse them out with distilled water, to make sure I don't have any mineral deposits left behind.

I just like to live dangeriously But sure nothing wrong with boiling.

They look cooler. Honestly, that's the only advantage I know of.

Edit I use Amber for my Nic and Cobalt Blue for my E-juice

They both block light, but cobalt blue looks badass !

Pretty much as above, they're pretty. Both block more than enough light to protect light-sensitive liquids. Amber is superior in terms of visible light and UV protection, but cobalt's more than good enough for our purposes. Just don't bottle beer in it.

And never use green, it's not very good at UV or visible light blocking (but still better than clear).

Unless washing your car leaves behind a white rind on the paint, don't worry about it. There won't be significant deposits remaining from a single boiling.

Same thing I'm doing. And yes, they do look cool!

I bought 120 bottles about 2 weeks ago, man I really don't want to have to boil all of those, I think I am going to have to go with Dannyv45 on this one, just a good rinse and dry will be good enough for me.

From what I have read, if you use a UC to steep, glass is better to let the waves pass through.

From what I have read, flavors linger in plastic.

I mean just for storage purposes, I normally just leave each flavor in the bottle it comes in, but at 1.00 for ten bottles its been a consideration. I dont really mix much or even steep (my liquid purchases and range that I try is slim)

That and some plastics will leech into the juice or some juices will eat at the plastic. Had it happen the other day, made a batch of banana something or other, put it the cupboard to air out overnight. Got up the next morning to give it a shake and there was nothing left in the bottle. I will say though, they were the cheapo bottles off of Amazon from China, I believe the company was Evalley or something like that.

I prefer amber, easier to see my liquid level than through the cobalt.
