New to DIY and enjoying it! Ordered bunch of glass 30ml bottles
Should I clean my new bottles first ? If so, Is there an easy way?
Sure, wouldn't hurt. Put in hot soapy water, put cap on and shake. Empty and then place in clean water, cap back on and shake. Again, clean water repeat. Take caps off and empty, then let air dry. Could not be easier.

I wash mine out with hot water and set them upside down on a towel to drain before a DIY session, then I flip them upright to air dry for a while. Most bottle manufacturers disclaimers say that the bottles they sell are washed clean, but not medically sterile when shipped.

I don't worry much about viruses and bacteria in a juice that's boiled in an atomizer to make steam right before I vape it. That, and Nicotine in your DIY ingredients is also deadly to whatever's in the bottle. You could always do an alcohol wash and shake, then dump it out and let them dry.
