E-liquid bottles....plastic vs glass??

[mallie233]

The only bottles of e-liquid I have ever gotten were plastic.
My newest shipment tastes kind of funky, and I understand that it's probably due to the whole batch of mix from my seller and everything. The bottles they came in are different from the old ones though.
I keep hearing about people being sketched out by plastic bottles and attribute some of the bad taste to (off-gassing?) and melting the bottle?
Well, I would like to look into getting glass bottles to keep them in. My main question is: do you buy the nicotine in the plastic bottles and then transfer it to the glass bottles and that improves the taste and prevents this from happening, or do you only buy from sellers who put the liquid in the glass bottles to begin with?

I have been transfering my eliquid that comes in plastic into glass bottles for storage. I fill them fairly full to prevent air as much as possible. Totally WIcked sells their liquid in glass and there are a couple of other places that sell it in glass but it is more expensive where I have seen it. There are a few websites where you can order any size bottle and cap for really pretty cheap about 30 cents total.

Oh you do want to get a colored glass that will filter out light. Apparently VG is sensitive to light and many of the eliquids are sold with at least a small amount of VG in them. HEre is where I get my bottles and there is no minimum order.... G066: 2 oz Amber Glass Boston Round

I keep mine in the fridge and in the case my Dragon shipped in from Truesmoker. I have yet to have any issues with my juices. They don't stay around long enough once they get to my house. I also make my own so that helps as well since I don't have to make a ton at a time it doesn't sit around forever waiting to be used or sold.

I prefer glass. Plastic absorbs odors/flavors

thanks for the tips

Ordered a bunch of 30ml (1oz) bottles from these guys a few days ago, and the UPS tracking says it should be here tomorrow. Transferring everything to glass, the plastic bottles aren't air-tight.

Got like 40 bottles and some smaller ones with dripper caps for under 30 bucks.

9 bucks for shipping! wow.
still a good deal though, as the bottles are so cheap. This is the site I was planning on going with anyways, if it turned out to be a good idea.
I looooooooove the blue bottles

I prefer to store liquids in clear glass bottles with proper caps.
I like clear so I can get a visual of the liquid color and opacity.
I want a heads up if anything is growing in my liquid.

Yeah, shipping was a little high....but I compared it with 3 or 4 other sellers, had pretty much the same things in my carts. Most of them had either higher bottle prices or a minimum order fee, so this one ended up being the best bet. Might get cheaper overseas, but the shipping time was a consideration as well.

Went for the blue ones too...not sure how good they are at filtering UV light, but they're going to be in a vacuum container in the dark anyway.

Planned on using those little circular stickers to put on the bottle caps...instead of going with the random juice bottle experience when reloading. Use a code on them for flavor and content, tape a paper with the decoding info on the inside of the cabinet.

haha that's very understandable.
I have heard that people prefer the darker bottles because of the sensitivity to light, but what exactly does that DO to the liquid?
