Leaky Amber bottles

[rockyroad]

Wanted to share some information from my experience. I hope this is in the right category, if not, please feel free to move it.

I've been using Kurts storage method for un-flavored nic in my freezer. The bottles I used were these.. Amber Eurodropper Bottles I used the 50 ml. size with both the white and black caps. The problem (small problem) I ran into is when I take out a bottle to use, the juice starts leaking out through the cap- with the last 6 bottles. So I just assumed the rest probably will too.

I recently changed my bottle type to this.. Amber Boston Round Glass Bottle 2 oz w/ Std Cap - 20/400 the std cap seems to work much better and have not had a problem with leaking.

I don't know if using the dropper insert had anything to do with it or not. The caps do seem to be a little flimsy and some seem to unscrew a bit after tightening....just sharing

When you screw it on.......just as it feels like it begins to run out of thread, only turn it a 1/4 more. It may seem to be loose to you but these types of bottles, the caps cannot be torqued down. The rubber seal will twist and bind up causing a leak at the cap or dropper insert.

Didn't know that thanks... I torqued em all. I ordered some P.A. flavors a while back (a year) saved the bottles. I really like these bottles, the caps are great. You can tighten them to the point of it being very difficult to unscrew them. They are glass and close to 30 ml.
