glass over plastic?

[stan iredale]

Been vaping now for 4 months, totally love it. I've decided to try and make my own liquid for the sake of cost. Is it possible for me to produce liquid on the same par as Riot Squad? Another question is glass over plastic bottles does it affect the taste, i recently decanted some cheap stuff from plastic bottles into glass and noticed my glass dropper bottle seems to make it more richer and smoother in some way, or is it just me?...

Welcome
For premixed juices I'm guessing it's just you. Glass does have some perks though if you use amber, cobalt, or green. The colors help slow down nic oxidation. Glass also doesn't let flavor molecules escape if using a solid cap and not a dropper lid. Personally I prefer ldpe for my mixes and pet for flavor concentrates. Just easier; for mixes I know will need a longer steep I will sometimes put in glass since I tend to forget about them.

Howdy and welcome
Just you I suspect. The advantage of glass is it’s less gas permeable. Much less sometimes depending on the plastic. It might stop a flavor change happening over the very long term but it won’t create one.

Depends on what you mean by on a par. If you mean can you recreate the exact formula and taste on your own, extremely doubtful. Could you come up with a formula of your own that is equal to or better than RS, more likely if its a totally new mix flavor (other than RS).

Another question is glass over plastic bottles does it affect the taste,

It can, depends on the plastic used to store the mix and the flavor(s) contained therein. Some plastics degrade chemically over time when exposed to flavors/mixes.

In general, UV resistant colored bottles/plastic can add good protection.

Taste is individually subjective.
