Glass vs plastic bottles

[BaDaBooM]

Been reading this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ssion/296537-plastic-bottles-e-liquid-39.html

The only thing is that glass bottle have plastic caps and droppers. Everybody seems against plastic still glass bottles have plastic too.

for most people plastic is not a problem ... unless you are stockpiling lots of juice

I get glass droppers if I purchase glass bottles.

The juice doesn't typically touch the plastic parts of the cap/dropper unless you store your bottles laying down. I assume brief contact with plastic or rubber wouldn't be a problem. It's when the bottle is plastic and therefore in constant contact with the juice and can leach into the juice. I don't know about most people, but I for one prefer glass both for juice storage and for my tanks as well. Doesn't take a lot of effort to take a precaution that may or may not really matter, so why not err on the side of caution?


And yes... the assumption is the droppers are also glass, not plastic. If you get plastic droppers, I wouldn't store those in the juice either.

I've been mixing my DIY e-liquid ( 30ml/15ml ) in amber glass bottles and letting it steep in the bottles. After it's steeped I then transfer it to plastic bottles.

If glass bottles have plastic droppers, it's easy to unplug and replug the plastic dropper from its lid so it's not sitting in the juice. The cap is plastic, but unless tipped over, it's not touching the liquid (besides a shake). Plastic shouldn't be a problem unless you're into diy and plan to store nic liquid for awhile. If that's the case, amber glass is the way to go, imo.

Thank you for reminding. For my adv, I make a large quantity of pre-made and keep it in glass. I just refill a 20 ml when necessary.

glass droppers are housed in rubber and plastic.

ive been doing the same bc glass is pain to fill tanks with.

Yep. I state that below the quote above. However, the point is that the liquid doesn't have constant contact and thus shouldn't suffer from the liquid leaching chemicals from it.

I have nothing against plastic bottles, but I only use glass myself.
I like having the UV protection and I also can taste a difference after a few months storage.
I don't think it's too big of deal though, just a preference is all.

Where is the cheapest place that you glass bottle users are finding them?

Found this site - Packaging Options Direct - from another thread and they seem to be the most inexpensive I've found.
Keep in mind that the bottles don't come with caps, so you must order the cap style you want.
