I just started DIY (tonight in fact...like 90 minutes ago). I was already planning on moving my nic base to glass...but honestly I mixed in glass chemistry jars with lids, it was so perfect I can't see not spending a few cents more. I got started and have enough to vape for six months (more on some supplies) for $80. I will spend that much on TP in that time. I am going to treat my lungs better than my ..... Glass bottles for storage are my next order.

Not to mention I feel better reusing glass. Try that with TP :laugh:

PG lasts for about 2 years.
Nicotine solution lasts about 1 year.
VG is 4 years.

PG and VG are roughly the same shelf life if stored properly with PG being slightly longer and both about 2 years.
My info is from Proctor & Gamble who manufacture (USP) both.

As for me it's glass all the way. You only have to open a storage area where you keep your flavors or eliquids and be knocked over by all the co-mingled smells to know the pet or ldpe plastic bottles which most vendors use are just not air tight.

For those who DIY don't forget to store your flavors in glass, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. Wizard Labs sells their flavors in glass vials. Wizard Labs

As a side note'''I just got off the phone with Ecigxpress and they said all their flavors with the exception of a few flavors from Capella all are shipped direct from the manufacturers in plastic......FlavourArt, TFA and Capella.........maybe they know they are going to be re-bottled immediately and are looking to cut costs as well?? Either way it is still glass for me!

I agree with what you are saying and I hate to ever bring up the “R” Word because I get All Kinds of Interesting Hate Mail.

But vendors selling e-Liquids in Inferior Plastic Bottles which Leech Plastics is Huge Ammunition for the people who believe that e-liquid Sales should be Regulated.


But IF it happens, vendors selling in glass bottles, as some are now, have already positioned themselves and are ahead of the game.

This is true...

But when, not if, the Regulations come there will be more Changes than just having e-Liquids packaged in Inert Containers.

Like Salem posted, Specialty Bottle is where I purchase mine too, they have decent pricing and ship fast.

@ Malduk Nic will last 2yrs or more and store in your freezer, but as for juice I wont vape juice that's 2yrs old that's for sure, I dont keep any juice past 6-8 months myself.

Are the dripper tubes also glass??
