Glass vs. Plastic

[MN_Mike]

This probably belongs in another section, but I can't post anywhere else yet. I've been to several shops in my area and some sell their liquids in plastic bottles and some sell them in glass bottles. The liquid I use is in glass bottles with glass droppers. Is there any kind of benefit of glass over plastic bottles?

Since all the plastic bottles are PP they are pretty safe - biggest benefit I could see to glass would be if you reused them later for some diy liquid as they wouldnt leech the previous flavour

i really dont know but one shop near me sells in glass bottles and i love it there better than plastic for my diy needs

Some people claim that glass is better becuase it doesn't let the plastic bottle afffect the taste of the juice. Eh, whatever works works, I haven't noticed any significant change in the flavor

I use glass for long term storage and plastic dropper/syringe bottle for pre-vape short term unflavored storage.

My flavors usually get glass bottles.

Glass was introduced by e-liquid manufacturers mainly to increase the retail prices. The flavor issues people raise is pretty much just noise...

^raises price and shatters if you drop it..lol

Almost all the ones that I buy come in plastic but it don't matter to me any they don't stay full long

Which manufacturers did this? I think glass is just more expensive and "nicer" to use in the premium e-juice market, not any kind of conspiracy. Like beer in a can vs. beer in a bottle. I DIY my juice and don't drink anymore so problem solved for me.

Glass bottles cost more, and have no real advantage that I can see. When I DIY, I reuse the plastic ones (clean, of course). Juice doesn't last that long to become an issue.

My juice has lasted over 4 years so far.

I have never had juice in a glass bottle. I would probably drop and break them. My bottles empty pretty quick too!

Plastic ones works greats, long last, and cheap.

My glass bottles are a huge PITA! Primarily because I don't have a good way to get the juice out yet other than CAREFULLY pouring. Luckily my Aspire BDC's have a huge area for filling! It may be a coincidence, but my favorite juice so far comes in glass...
