How do you get the caps off?

[rage]

Seriously, these things are like impossible to get off the bottles. I want to stick a syringe in to draw out the liquid, because it'll be faster than counting drop after drop.

But neh, it seems impossible. Anyone have any ideas?

I have took my tasty vapor caps off many times. Just grab a hold of the side and lift. Lift one side than the other and pull off. I love his cap it is so easy to drip with.

Hell, I've had to take a few off to "polish off" liquids before. I use pliers, but I have to put a new needle tip on. Tried biting and pulling it off yet?

Yeah, I picked a vendor that had these tips specifically because they're easy to use and I didn't want people to have to deal with eye droppers and those crappy rounded HDPE tips (like on the 15ml complimentary bottles).

Haven't tried to pull a cap off yet, but I absolutely love the bottles and tips.

I'm going for the jaws of life.

I don't think that's enough... I gave up and those nice bottles are sitting there empty....

The TV bottles are great, IMO. I don't need to pry them open, they don't get messy, and the narrow tip makes moving the liquid into a smaller dropper bottles a little at a time very easy. Makes it much easier to drip in small quantities, or pull it out with a syringe for measured quantities, if it's in a little bottle. So I just "decant" it.

For my compact kit on the road I buy 3 ml dropper bottles on eBay in bulk.

I love the TV bottles.......awesome fine tip on it and nice size cap....squeeze good...good product. The cap comes off just plain lifting with your fingernail...nice and easy!

I'm another one who enjoys the bottles. The tips are on snug, but once you figure out how to get them off, it's not too hard.

I may just have to add to my TV bottle collection with another order or two. Geoff keeps coming out with flavors that make me want to spend money!

Agreed, they're obviously good quality and give very precise, even drops every time.

I found the perfect method for removing the cap.

1. Take your shoes off
2. Grab the bottle with both feet
3. Use your hands to anchor onto something solid
4. Grab the top of the lid between your molars
5. Have someone yank on your head really hard.

Tried it last night, works like a charm!!!

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I found out the teeth method works pretty good...

 

[kr808d1]

Heck I just pull the dropper cap off with my teeth .

 

[kcofohio]

I have found that using a knife (butter knife for those that are accident prone, lol) to wedge in the seam of the dripper with a see-saw action til you have a gap, then pull the rest of the way off. These bottles have the best precise dripping I've seen, yet.

Put me in the 'TV has the best bottles' camp. I only have one bottle of Amaretto which drips strangely (too quickly), but that could also be the thinner viscosity of that flavor...

The tops pry off easily with a small pocket knife.

I just washed a batch of TV bottles today (yes, I have that many...). Soaking the labels off took more time than I planned on, but the bottles are definitely worth saving. I'm going to start using them for mixing and save the cheapo smaller ones for pocket carry.

p.s. Don't count on washing getting ALL the Atomic Fireball smell out.

the dripping funny bottle.....put a small thin nail in the top of it and force it in the opening..it will loosen up the opening a bit. Had to do that with one of the bottles.

But....i love these bottles....THese are uptown bottles..im talking THE STUFF....love em

 

[shorty70]

This whole thread is a joke right cause I have no problems.

 

[WhatAClumsyGirl]

No...not a joke thread....but honestly ? i pull the caps off with my teeth...lol

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet or not, but these bottles work GREAT if you happen to use the T tip too !
