LDPE bottles are chemical resistant so there should be no way for nicotine or flavor to corrode these bottles

Try it with Pluid and get back to me. :)

The key word is "resistant", and all polymers have different makeups but they're all somewhat reactive to the right substance and it's definitely possible for even not-super-acidic eliquids to break down LDPE bottles over time, it really all depends on the specific flavorings. This chart might give you an idea, and how you can see how various plastics react with substances. e.g., ABS is fine with vinegar, but *milk* will mess it up. Obviously we aren't talking about ABS, but you get the idea.

Not sure it makes much of a difference for juice you buy and are going to use in a shortish amount of time.
I don't have any and those droppers don't look like they would be good for filling attys i have with a fill hole.

I'll probably get some glass amber bottles in the future to store my flavourings in for DIY and while I'm at it put the end juices in some.
Im currently using plastic bottles I have from store bought juices.

Nog nog, nothing wrong with that! This stuff is on a scale, e.g. there's a difference between a 30ml bottle you're going through quick and an expensive one you're saving over months, or a 120-240ml bottle you're keeping around. There's nothing wrong with using plastic, it's just if you are wanting to preserve eliquid in its current state for as long as possible, use amber glass. :)
