Yup! These:

Sorry for the poor description lol, I forget what these things are actually called so "squishy suction tops" came to mind lol.

Oh those.... Yeah, I'm not a fan for e liquid. Their pretty in all, but too fiddly and not exactly car friendly. I use those for DIY supplies.

Try these bottles. Their only a dollar. No complaints here, besides the needle can pierce the rubber cover. Screw on type. Metal needle.

Spilling juice is bad and makes you say to yourself "GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DANMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMIT"

However, im sure alot of DIY guys in here will agree with me. Spilling DIY flavor concentrate / concentrated pure 100mg nicotine is WAY worse.

I spilled an entire 30ml bottle of banana cream pie flavor concentrate last week into my carpet. The liquid was clear thank god so no stains. I cleaned it for almost 6 hours now and I believe that my room will forever now smell like banana cream pie for the rest of my carpets life.

Maybe ill throw something else on the spillage, like coffee concentrate to jazz it up lol.

I always thought it would be Nice if Vendors would give Buyers a Choice of what type of Bottle they Want.

If they can have a Drop Down Menu for things like Nicotine Level or PG to VG Ratio, why not give people a Choice on Bottle also. Like...

Plastic Bottle
Plastic Bottle w/ Child Cap.
Glass Bottle
Glass Bottle w/ Child Cap
Glass Bottle w/ Dropper Cap

Yes, please. I physically can't open the child resistant caps. It has eliminated a number of major liquid suppliers for me. I've tried for a few flavors that sounded good, but after having to have someone else open them for me, and having to label the containers they went into, I decided that it wasn't worth it.

I can get prescriptions, and most over the counter and household products in containers that I can open. most of the proposed legislation that I have seen doesn't allow any exceptions to the child resistant packaging. So thanks to some careless parents I have to become more dependent on outside help.

It also kind of negates a lot of the labeling requirements when they are forcing me to repackage the liquid, since I'm not going to put more than the flavor on the container that I can open.

Very cool. I do 10-20 hours volunteer work each week with the visually impaired, and this is the first time I've run across this.

It is a Cool Precaution for those with Impaired or Limited Vision. Because it is Simple, Cost Effective and Easy to Implement.

And could Prevent someone from Squirting 28mg Cinnamon e-liquid into their eye when they are Reaching for their Visine.

Even better - modify the molds to include it on the bottles. Relatively cheap, extremely effective. Fix it once and done.

I know a lot of people who use braille label makers or stick-on dots.

I would stay with the Tactile Labels.

Because to make a Bottle with a Warning Triangle on it, you need to make a Injection Mold Die set that has the Triangle in Reverse in the cavity die. And then the Bottles that come off of that Die Set can't be Used for Non-Caustic Substances.

The Label is a Good Call because Filled Bottles are going to go thru a Labeling Line Anyway. And it is Very Easy to merely and the Tactile Label to Products that Require it.

Exactly. The dies are a "pay for once, use many times" solution, while the labels add cost each and every time they're used. If it were my manufacturing decision it would definitely go on the bottles.

The Problem is that that Anytime I make a Dedicated Die Set for a Bottle or Container, then they can Only be used for that Dedicated Product.

It is Much Smarter and Cost Efficient for a Container OEM to make a Generic Bottle that can be Used for ANY Product. And then put whatever Label on it that is Necessary. Than to Make Specially Die sets fro Dedicated Products.

@dannyrl:
How annoying!
Why not get a few better bottles in a DYI shop and fill those with the liquid in the silly bottles?
I "re-bottle" all liquids that I purchase in glass bottles. Ever tried refilling an atomizer from a glass bottle? Plus I DYI anyway, so I need little bottles. You can rinse and re-use them almost indefinitely.
The clear bottles are usually crappy, the milky-looking bottles are much better. Plus you can soak a milky-looking bottle in boiling water without having it turn into a "work of modern art" ;)

Chalk it up to experience, dear, and get some decent reuseable little bottles :)
