How dry do my bottles need to be?

[ChelsB]

I am wondering if, after I wash the bottles, do they need to be bone dry before filling them with ejuice or are a few drops of water harmless?

I would say harmless, some people add water (distilled?) and or saline solutions to their ejuice. I'm sure a few drops of tap water will make little to no difference.

I rinse bottles with hot tap water, and shake vigorously about 10 times to shake out what I can, let dry for a couple hours, then use. What's left in the bottle isn't gonna hurt anything.

A little H2O in the mix can sometimes help out. Too much and your atty will spit like crazy from the thinned juice.
I wash mine and let them sit overnight, never an issue. If you find you need to wash bottles for immediate use....you ain't got enough bottles!!!!!!

I wash my bottles as I use them. I just shake out the excess water and mix my juice. Bottles that contain the same juice every time never get washed just refilled. If you mix and seed steep you never want to wash the bottles. In fact you want to mix with 10% of the old stuff still left in the bottle.

I simply rinse well and shake out excess.
Set on paper towel for 10 min.
(upside down to drain, no cap or dripper)
Pick-up and shake out again.
Dry off, fill, cap, done. Cheers.

I wash them, shake, and turn them upside down on a paper towel for a few minutes and then turn them open end up to air dry. The next morning they are clear and dry.

I like Danny's answer that steeping occurs faster if you leave 10% of the old juice in the bottle and make the same recipe again. I'm still testing flavors and have only a couple in a DIY session that are the same as last time.

When I am in a rush to use a glass bottle I have washed I roll up a paper towel so it fits into the bottle and wipe it out along with a quick dry of the dropper. When you wash the dishes you dry them so same principal applies. Works for me but YMMV

Ooh, excellent idea. And I can make more juice now that I know I can mix old and new!
