Do I Dare Ask Why?

[ronscave]

Every once in a while I have to ask myself "Why do they do that". I'm sure others here have questioned "Why" do they do this or that? With that In mind I have to ask "Why do some companies put their e juice in those hard plastic bottles that you can't even squeeze a drop out of......when there are better alternatives for your clients?" My hands are getting old and tired. WHY do they put me through that?

LOL! I said that about Good Life Vapor! They put their liquid in those super clear plastic bottles (or did, I haven't bought from them in a while). They would make a cracking sound when you would squeeze them. I was always afraid they would crease and split if I pressed to hard. LOL!!

It's all about the Benjamins. Pet bottles are cheaper.

PET bottles are less porous than LDPE (the soft ones). LDPE bottles will "leak" and absorb some flavoring compounds. Flavoring compounds can also go the other way as well.

Get you some glass bottles with droppers (they are cheap) and transfer your ejuice.

Or you can buy some easier to squeeze bottles and transfer some to those. Although, getting the liquid OUT of the hard bottles..... Maybe an eyedropper (buy a new one...do NOT use one that has been used for other things )*




*disclaimer needed because you never know who may read this and think they can use any old eyedropper laying around

I agree, use the LDPE 10ml bottles for on the go and glass for home use / storage .....

Hah..I was just swearing at one of those hard plastic bottles yesterday! When you have some arthritis in your hands, they are VERY frustrating. My quick fix is to remove the drip tip and then use a dropper.

I wash and save all the glass bottles that I get. I also wash out a few 15 ml plastic bottles to keep on hand. If necessary, I can just transfer the eliquid to something that I find easier to use. If you can get the drip tip off the hard bottles, or get someone to help, just upend the bottle over an empty bottle and let it flow into the empty one.

It's easy to make a plastic bottle.

Now to make a plastic bottle that is clear/transparent.. no biggie; narrows down your range of options as to what type of plastic to use.

Now to make it also soft so you can squeeze it... ok, that narrows things down a whole lot again.

Now you want to have a plastic that is not reactive to the liquid substance you put in it!!
Ok, now that's going to narrow things down much more drastically, and even then there's going to be some liquid out there that will react with it,

so you have to compromise somewhere;
either its soft but foggy
or hard but clear
or maybe you got to be carefull not putting certain liquids in that bottle like cinnamon or citrus or menthol

All good advice and common sense answers we have here. Are there any other ""Why do they do that" questions that come to mind that you would like to ask of the suppliers? Or a gripe or pet peeve?
