I know this has very more than likely, been asked before...but here goes...

Where can I find the best prices on 3 to 30 mil plastic dripper bottles....and 1 to 3 ml disposable pipettes....

Please help if you can. I want to create my own juices...NOT sell to the public....I figure I'll use these things just like paper towels...LOL

My deal is... I know I will do a lot of wasting of supplies till I find my favorite blends. I can live with that. I just dont want to go broke doing it. I want to make experimenting as cheap as possible :) So Please, no ecig sellers as that means there has already been a mark up. I would prefer going directly to manufacturer, distributer or laboritory supplier/discounter.

I've already found a source for Pipettes...but not for the dropper bottles of 3 to 30 ml sizes. Please help if you can. All links will be much appreciated.

Thank you!

BTW- I use syringes of various size with blunt tip needles to mix with. The plastic pipettes just don't do the job IMO :)

Hey Salem, I have several blunt needles (the type used for marine tank aquatic applications) and syringes (lure lock) on hand already. The info about the plastic pipettes is welcome. I've never done this kinda thing....other than the high school chemistry class 30 years ago...lol! I just like the idea of simple/disposable/better...LOL

I am disabled and LOVE cooking....creating my own recipes and experimenting.....I am looking for a new hobby....I think this will just fall right over into creating my own vapables....

Agree on the cheap, plastic pipettes. I have a handful and have only used one. Just not right for the job.

On the other hand, real glass scientific ones are awesome. You can get them here. I Use a 10ml and 1ml every time I make juice. The little "pipette pumps" (available at the same link above) are a must have. Super accurate and easy. Pricy, but worth it.

Thanks grant well noted!



I know of several venders included the one you mentioned! :) to get my flavors. I'm just looking for those venders who can supply the CHEAP disposables......pipettes and 3 to 30 ml dripper bottles. (Like a 100 to 500 count).

Thanks
Yeah, for quantites like that you'd probably be best going to the manufactuers.
I'd still email TPA with what you want to order and see if they'd give you a better pricefor quantities like that.

This may prove the best after all. Thanks you for suggesting!

Like I said...I'm gonna destroy myself getting my formulas down....I have no idea what an "IV/buret" type set up is....LOL

I just want to end up with what I am going to "like" .....I am bent on making my own vapables....I just want to go as "cheapskate" as I can..ie many disposables..LOL Sounds like you know a lot more than I.......Any info you could drop in my ear would be much appreciated! Thanks!

They work very well. Everything else I've tried is either too expensive, too messy, or way too inaccurate. You'd think the glass is fragile, but it's pyrex and pretty tough. A 10ml and a 1ml and you can make good bottles. Not 100's though, LOL. You only need the one 10ml pipette pump, not both a 2ml and 10ml one, unless you just want to spend the $'s for convenience...

The company I linked is local to me, so I don't know what their shipping is like.

...idea what an "IV/buret" type set up is....

By IV I meant something like the bags they use with a tube to give you a metered Intravenous solution like when you're in the hospital. A buret is something like the glass pipettes I mentioned but they are generally a little bigger - and they have a faucet like device at the bottom to regulate the flow of the liquid. Way overkill if you're making a few bottles at a time. The items I mentioned above I think would fit you very well if you're only going to make 1 to 5 bottles at a time.

Poke around on the site I mentioned earlier. It will explain it. Just a warning though - pass off your debit card first. You'll get dazzled by all the containers and gadgets. And you don't don't need any of them other than what you mentioned you're looking for. That, and a roll of paper towels.

After you mentioned 100 to 500 bottles I thought you wanted to make huge quantities...

Thank you for the heads up..the 100 to 500 I just knew I would dirty those bottles and waste that much....LOL

LOL ok I get it...you must work or have worked in health care....I dont want to make gallons...god bless you ....LOL

I just wanted disposables so I could throw them away after each use....to keep my flavors from crossing over and to keep me from having to WASH anything! Big Smiles to you !!

I'm just looking for the cheapest prices I can get so my mistakes dont cost me an arm and a leg...thank you for helping me out with the links.
