I pray your son was alright. Kids are so quick and into the smells and colors of these ejuices.
Do I buy e-liquid in PET bottles or glass bottles?

I find the glass bottles are way more likely to leak. The top seal doesn't seem to get as tight. I still use them more often than plastic but I've never had any plastic taste or problems with plastic. I would assume some of the tank melter flavors could impact the weaker plastics.
Hey Hashtag,
I hear cinnamon is a huge one that affects the integrity of bottles/tanks
It's hard to share those stories but I'm glad you did. We can all use a reminder from time to time to be extra careful around our kids. The media plays it up which we all hate but the flavors and labels are pretty kid friendly. I think it is marketed to the nostalgic kid inside of us rather than to actual kids but that doesn't mean they don't think it looks and smells tasty.
Cinnamon and lemon are the two I've had trouble with. I had a lemon lime/cherry juice that would melt a plastic tank in less than a minute. The juice was delicious but the melting power made me skeptical of vaping it.
I tried to squeeze one once. Then I decided I need to visit gym more often. Then I decided I can do even better - to use plastic bottles only.
Yea, I would definitely be weary. That's insane, within minutes...
The type of bottle is largely one of personal preference. For myself I prefer glass bottles with drippers (no small children to worry about), but then again most of the premium juices also come in glass bottles with drippers. Coincidence? I think not! 
Rucerius, thanks.
Do you think that perhaps that these premium liquids wanted to differentiate themselves and have an upperclass feel by using glass? asthetics maybe? Just curious.

Of course it not coincidence. They need to justify their prices. It would not be surprising to see in near future some super extra premium juices wrapped in golden foil.The type of bottle is largely one of personal preference.

Sure, if you want to store your juice for more than a year, then glass bottle better (more oxygen-tight), but I would never store my juices for a long time.
I prefer brown bottles with glass dippers.
Would like to try beechwood, does a great job on my beer..

I agree that the premium juices use glass because it is a classier bottle to put juice in. But these premium blends are also more complicated flavors than something like the online cheapo mass-juice vendors. But, of course, the flavor has nothing to do with the bottle it is in.
I have never stored juice that long either. I go through juice so quickly, storing it is not even a consideration.
Gold foil you say??? That would be awesome. Then once you've collected enough gold foil you could trade it in for a bottle or two of your favorite ejuice ;-)
My grandkids will be visiting next month. My DIY nic will be transferred to my gun safe along with my pain meds. Yes, they are teenagers and not toddlers, however, I don't want any temptation for accidents. I do have a couple glass container, but like others I use plastic for my tanks and the droppers for my drippers.
If I get a choice, plastic
Plastic bottle will most likely not break when mishandled by the post office(or other shipping companies) and are way more convenient for me as a tank user

I prefer plastic bottles over glass. In fact, if I get a flavor in a glass bottle with a dripper cap, I will put it in a plastic bottle for carrying around in my purse and it's easier to drip directly into my dripper atomizer rather than having to use two hands to hold a glass bottle and use a dropper cap to drip juice. I have never noticed any flavor from a plastic bottle and even make big batches of flavors for myself and store them in a big plastic bottle. Just my experiences. In fact, I really genuinely dislike glass bottles with dripper caps or some that have neither and you have to use a syringe. I avoid those altogether. Lol.
I think this is the main reason. I guess it gives a sense of confidence that the juice they buy comes in a glass bottle. It's the same reason mods come in aesthetically pleasing wooden box with velvet lining... .it's just packaging that foam and cardboard would do just as well. But, it gives the impression of superiority. That question reminded me of something that happened just recently...
I am a baker... at a grocery store. We sell cupcakes, bread, and all sorts of pastries. We're the "mass producer", we can put out 30-40 birthday cakes per day. up the street is a specialty cupcake shop.. they are a small time mom and pop setup. They make gourmet cupcakes to order, and they're quite a bit fancier looking. Last birthday, we bought 24 cupcakes from my bakery. They lasted halfway through the second day. Total spent was $17 for 24 half chocolate half vanilla buttercream iced cupcakes. When it was time for my older son's graduation, my wife decided to go gourmet, and she ordered 24 cupcakes, a variety, and had them on a fancy stand. The cupcakes looked great.. as well they should have. They were about $100. Most were eaten at the party, and most raved over the looks. Me, being a baker, payed attention.. and many people would scrape off the icing and not eat part of the cupcakes. four days later, I decided to throw away the last few cupcakes that nobody seemed to want and were getting quite dried out.
So, it doesn't matter about the price, you vape what you like whether or not it comes in a glass or plastic bottle. It shouldn't matter if it's mass produced, or crafted by an artisan and labeled in gold leaf. Tastebuds are personal, and people like what they like.
And I've never known a plastic bottle to leak due to the flavor. That problem was with the old Stardust/iclear 16/CE5 clearomizers that used a rigid plastic (Polycarbonate). The bottles Ejuice usually comes in is LDPE (Low Density PolyEthylene) which is a semi flexible plastic with a totally different consistency. How many REOS have you heard leaking due to citrus/cinnamon flavors?
