That the tops of the juice bottles can be removed. Not the cap but the spout/tip can be taken off. 3 years of vaping and NEVER knew this. Only reason I even found out was when I ordered some empty bottles for DIY and noticed that the tip looked like a removable piece and assumed it was only on bottles for DIY so you can fill it easier but now I see that almost all of my bottles have that. Now I can wash out my empty bottles and use them instead of ordering more empty bottles. Wow. So amaze.

Hah! At least you didn't learn the same way the LAST person did who posted something like this.
His bottle was requiring a STRONG SQUEEZE - just trickling too slow - (we all get those sometimes).
And, well, you know what happened. He squeezed EXTRA hard, and POP - off came the tip, and juice went spraying everywhere.

I discovered this very early because the Dekang juices I got just wouldn't come out. I actually phoned the guy who sold them to me and said 'they won't come out' (for it was true). So he said yeah, you need to snip the top off the tip with a scissors then it works. I said thanks for including that in the instructions which actually don't exist it was my very first day vaping and here I am tipping the bottle this way and that and nothing happened lol.

WOW 3 years??? I'm amazed. I put the same flavor into my DIY bottles, this way I do not have to relabel them...
Have fun DIY it is the only way to go, and MUCH cheaper.

Took some Dekang Desert ship to the eyes about a year ago. Not pleasant, not pleasant at all...

Yup, I saw it in a youtube video about DIY juice when I was still buying premixed. I saved and reused every one of my bottles, and haven't bought new ones yet. Gonna need some soon, but I think I'll just treat myself to some good premixed again since it's been a while and I feel I'm sorta saving $ by buying a bottle with juice in it instead of an empty one lol.

No body here will ever laugh at you.......just with you. Another little tip for you. If they are hurting your hands because they drip so slow............take a tapestry needle or a small nail, and tap them down the hole with a hammer. Pull the nail out and the juice will flow so much better. Took me a while to figure that one out so I thought I'd share my tiny bit of experience with you. I do all my bottles this way and it helps my hands tremendously. :)

I normally use 50/50 bleach and water, let them sit overnight and then clean them with mild soap and hot water. Never had an issue with flavors creeping :).

Its so hard to get some of the flavors out of used juice bottles that I just place an occasional order for 50 10ml bottles on ebay for 8 bucks.

Chuckling right along with you, Kyi! I had a similar experience when I started DIYing. Was going through syringes like crazy, because the numbers and calibrations would rub off, making the syringes useless. Until someone here posted a tip to cover the numbers with scotch tape before first use. Haven't had to throw out a syringe since!

Sometimes it's the little things... :laugh:

I jinxed myself, but I apparently have good timing!
The drip tip on one of my bottles cracked from top to bottom on both sides of the tip after I made that reply the other day. Today when I pulled it off to tinker with the flavor of the juice that's in it (a work in progress) the tip broke in half from where it was cracked. I had just finished up another bottle, so I swapped the tips. I also placed an order earlier yesterday from WL, and added 5 bottles to it because I knew I'd need more since I just ordered a bunch of new flavors to play with.
No drama, it's all good. ;)
