Here is one place. The prices are lower than most of the e-cig vendors. Don't know if they're the lowest available.

Cylinder and Boston Round Bottles with Dropper Caps | U.S. Plastic Corp.

I almost always do 3ml batches. Even if its a recipe I like. And boy do I have a few of them sitting around. LOL

That way I can change flavors often. That keeps me happy.

:rickroll:

They mention LDPE and HDPE, any idea which one is "stiffer"? I've got some 6ML dropper bottles that are nearly impossible to squeeze VG thru, and most other liquids (pure PG works great in this one, since it is so thin).

The soft plastic bottles I have are kinda round and fat, 5mL and have the childproof cap on them, very easy to squeeze. Hope I'm making sense, just trying to find 'easy squeeze' bottles. :)

I really don't know. But I bet I know the type bottles you mean. Real hard and totally clear plastic bottles which I usually get pre-mixed nicquid in. I used to try and reuse them but now just toss them (I use VG almost exclusively.) When you squeeze them they crackle and pop and dent. LOL

Yes, I think that is it. Great for samples, but re-use is a bit tough, once you "over squeeze" them, they have white stress discoloration.

Thanks for the link, checking their shipping prices now.

Yeah, those are the best 3ml bottles you can find, they don't get any better than that.
But shipping is a punch in the nose.

I put in figures for 3, 6, 15mL bottles, best combination of the three is:

37 - 3ml
30 - 6ml
30 - 15ml

keeps shipping at the minimum $4.99. Anything above that (even 38 3ml bottles) almost doubles the shipping to $9.37. To my area code in BFIowa anyway.

107 bottles for less than 30 cents each isn't too bad, but really need some friends to spread it around with.

EDIT: Tried it with just the 3ml bottles, got to 119 before it jumped the shipping again. So 119 bottles for $29.98 shipped (to Iowa anyway).

Good Evening vaping peoples and others!
So my baby bird had a fractured shoulder which may necessitate his being put down since they don't {shoulder fractures} usually heal well.
Sad eh?
In other news a member at "that place" say's I'm arguing and/or being childish trying to change peoples minds by asking for them to be factual when members are making statements. Bullcrap!
Supposedly there is an alleged post here?{they won't say where} where someone who vapes has his kids following him around going "Daddy that smells yummy" like this person was somehow encouraging his children to smoke. I don't like the implication.
I read about one ecig user whose kids were following him around asking what yummy flavor he was puffing and they said it smelled like pop tarts......
I don't believe any of us would condone any child trying to imitate vaping or smoking fwiw.
For my part if you can't provide the proof then you're making it up and until I see that link I'll stand by what I said but I will always apologize when wrong.:p
I don't see why they have a need to antagonize us at every turn no matter the subject. :glare:
I for one, am damned sick of the attitude but I guess that will be how they run us and anyone else off.

That's too bad about your baby bird. The cynical half of me would have just left it in the cat's mouth, but my compassionate half would have done what you did. Usually my compassionate half wins. I took in a stray cat when I lived in San Diego after her owners abandoned her when they moved. To show her appreciation she would bring all sorts of "treats". Usually they were birds or mice. I didn't care so much about the mice, but I tried to help the birds only to have them die on me in the next few days. I never once saw her actually eat any of the critters she caught. She would just "play" with them until they died or she lost interest. Death would always result in lost interest. Sweet cat. Couldn't bring her with me when I moved to Utah, but made sure she had a nice home. I hate it when people abandon their pets.

Hey C.B., so sorry about the bird! :(

Re: the YUMMY comment on the other board. I do remember a post made to that effect by an e-cig user, but I'm pretty sure it was more along the lines of "I don't smell disgusting anymore. In fact my kids are so thrilled, one even asks what flavor I'm vaping that day...." Don't remember who, or exactly what was said but it definitely wasn't intended as "my kids just love it and now their thinking of using an e-cig!" I responded on the other board, since I'm sure they'll track it down sooner or later just to be right.

I guess that's the difference between cats and dogs....

We had a bird build a nest in a bush next to our walkway. It caught the attention of my dogs since she would fly away to the nearest tree and chatter at them whenever we could come out of the house. The whole time she was incubating the eggs, I managed to keep the dogs away. You could see they wanted at that nest, but they would leave a wide berth when passing the bush after a stern reprimand from me. A few days after they hatched, I turned my head for one second and when I looked back most of the nest and all four chicks were gone. And one of my dogs was looking mighty satisfied! :glare:

Agreed...our pets depend on us for protection and food...

Some would survive quite well without us....others due to us altering the process of natural selection to amplify certain traits are helpless or worse without us...

our disappearance from the planet would be a death sentence for most breeds...

@CB on another note there is something similar to that but its not a direct quote and its definitely being twisted as anytime I see someone make a comment even remotely similar either the kids know what it is and want nothing to do with it other than being appreciative of the parents not smoking anymore...or as n one post I saw helping the parent due to having forgotten some article of gear which in that case it an older teenager(who once again is not interested other than mom doesn't smoke anymore)

Trolls will use any tidbit taken out of context to make a point...and a tiny bit of the truth wrapped in a LIE is more believable than an outright lie...


@Mustangsallie What do you expect of one of the best bird dog breeds out there...my weim when I was a teenager would ambush birds in the back yard...
she would lay there and play dead till a bird came within reach...bam...we had to put a brightly colored bandana on her collar so the birds knew something was there...

Behind you
Tell them while it's entirely likely e-cig vapers are smarter than smokers, that some people started so low that they'll only ever reach a level of ...-hattery.

Seriously though.... do people expect idiots not to be idiots? It doesn't matter what's in their hand or in the pants or mouths.
