I just ordered a lot of DIY stuff to make my own juice, and I ended up ordering glass bottles from RTS Vapors (along with a ton of other glass things)... They have various sizes and they come in dark cobalt blue. Supposedly that keeps the light exposure down and keeps liquids from turning bad. All I can say is that the prices were good, they offer a first time purchaser discount (look for the code on their site, because I didnt notice until after I ordered), and it was packed great. Shipped and received super fast. As far as how good the bottle is, I cant really attest to that since Ive only used it for 2 days... But Im sure its good.

edit - its RTS Vapes ooops

I also received my order from RTSVapes with a few of their 120ml cobalt blue bottles. They are very pretty, I have always liked that shade of blue. The cap does not have a rubber seal, it looks like coated paper. If this kind of cap is not recommended for storing nicotine solution, why is it the only kind of glass bottles they sell? I am tempted to use them as is for now, replacing the caps when I can find the right thing. RTSVapes has been around for a while, certainly long enough to have had a complaint about their bottle caps.

I really hope my local homebrew supply has caps to fit these bottles. I don't want to order more bottles or a dozen caps when all I need is 4 caps. Suggestions?

Edit: Homebrew shop has nothing that will work.

Just buy a 6 pack of mini Canada Dry ginger ale, since they come in green glass bottles . After you drink the contents you can use them for storing nic. They hold about 296 ml/10 oz. Works great for larger amounts.

I would get ahold of them and see what's up... the description for those bottle specifically states that they have a poly cap seal...

What do you seal the bottles with? do the caps twist?
Found a picture, This has possibilities.. I wonder if you can peel off the label.

Twist on plastic caps. Yes, you can peel off the labels fairly easily.

I have read here on these forums that glass bottles used for storing liquid nicotine should have phenolic cone lined caps. I don't know for sure what will happen if I use anything other than phenolic cone lined caps on liquid nicotine (in a PG or VG base) for long term storage. I have had vegetable/seed oil in a glass bottle with a paper lined cap, and the cap liner broke down within a few months.

pdxtechdoctor: Those bottles on Amazon have a vinyl liners. These are much more expensive - Amber Glass Bottle 4oz W/Black Phenolic Cone Lined Caps (Boston Round) By Greenals - but they have the right caps.

I don't even know if it is necessary to use phenolic cone lined caps, but plastic covered paper will not do. I also don't know why it is so hard to find a nicotine liquid vendor that carries empty bottles that state they come with phenolic cone lined caps. I imagine the Canada Dry bottles would work, but I don't want to assume I removed the gingerale smell from them, only to discover later that all my stored juice has a hint of gingerale in it. This is the 'Good glass jars?' thread, but the caps are important too. I have read suggestions in other threads about using the fancy caps, but I can't find them for sale by themselves anywhere.

I didn't read this whole thread, nor do I know anything about special jars, but when I want to store my juice I just buy something in the food store that comes with a nice sized glass jar, wash it out and use that! They never have any smell!

Those bottles I referred to DO have the phenolic cone caps.. I received them on Friday and I can verify that.. Also the first listed review mentions that as well and it is why I bought them... Unlike some of the other reviews mine came in a box with dividers and I am probably just going to mix my nic base, and put them back in the box and through it in the freezer. I bought these because 1 bottle would equal at least 1 month of base for me at 4ml a day and I can mix a 250ml and 120ml of base into the 12 bottle and have a years worth in the freezer. Every month I just need to pull one out and then mix up my months supply of liquid...

Good news, and thank you! The product description does not list the type of cap liner, which would make it hard to demand a refund for. I have bought items on Amazon before that varied from earlier reviews, I couldn't be sure. Besides, I can't be the only one that doesn't have a need for a dozen bottles, or the freezer space. Anyways, thanks for the info, that one goes on my 'wishlist'. Many thanks.
