Just a thought

I am probably gonna say the MODS will delete this post and give me a warning for it but I feel I need to address the group as a whole. I recently got a PIF from someone. This has been numerous PIF's I have done. I opened the package and found juice leaking all over everything including the outside of the package. We have to be very careful people.

#1 we are sending liquid through USPS. When nicotine liquid gets on the postal employee and they are not a smoker and get ill from it someone is gonna get in some serious problems.

#2 We are making PIF's so the other person can enjoy the juice, test it and possibly trade for something else. It does that person no good if the juice has leaked out.

I feel that everyone should know some quick hints about sending PIF's out. We spend all this money on juice. Here are my helpful hints and I hope everyone takes something with them...

* Your items should be packed in an envelope or box. Not a letter envelope either. A white or yellow envelope preferably from USPS or staples or some other supplier.
* If you are sending Child proof bottles they should have a piece of electrical tape placed around the cap. Push down on the cap and then tape. Child proof bottles leak if the cap is up and the bottle is squeezed during delivery.
* Place the bottles inside (After TAPING) a plastic zip lock bag. Not a sandwich bag!!! They LEAK!!!
* Place the items in a sealed envelope. I use the ones that have bubble wrap inside them.
* Make the address legible. If you don't have good hand writing then print a label..
Drop in mail and enjoy....

I really think the tape helps if they are child proof bottles...

TO MODS: You can delete if you want but I have gotten three PIF's in the last month that all had juice leaked all over... Just refreshing everyone...

One thing I have started doing with my PIF's is using heat shrink tubing that you can buy at the local hardware store. For those who may have never heard of heat shrink it is a rubber tubing that when heated shrinks and conforms to the shape of the item it is covering. It is most commonly used in electrical wiring repairs or when wiring needs extra insulation. I have sent a few items with this seal on them and have heard no complaints.


5 piece heat shrink wire wrap

This is a set with 5 different sizes the 1/2" 3/4" 1" will work for everything from small 3 ml samples up to sizes like the 2 ounce doubler from TV. Each size comes in a 4' length which is enough to seal roughly 65 bottles (using 3/4" long pieces)

Micro Torch

This is a small butane powered torch that is used to shrink the tubing.

* if you do decide to use this method please practice on an empty bottle it is easy to over heat the tubing or melt the bottle

That is a really neat idea! I have a HF near us, I might do that!

I am not sure it is a good idea to heat the liquids. :/

There is that clear plastic shrink wrap that will shrink with just a hair dryer


IDK it all seems a little excessive to me, typically just double checking your bottle tops is enough to keep them from leaking.

I agree,tape the bottles shut if needed and put them in a leakproof baggie or 2 and it should be good.
