Liquid question, dropper-style cap?

[toddrhodes]

I have a question that hopefully someone can answer? I just got several new e-liquid bottles and two of them have very large dropper-style caps. For now, I primarily use Clearomizers and if I use the dropper cap I'll douse the center section with liquid. Should I get some empty, smaller bottles with either the needle or just the conventional nipple to dispense those juices from? Probably a stupid question but I want to make sure I'm not killing my clearos just because I'm in a hurry to try these.

For the record, I picked up:

Pink Spot Juices: Swagger and Peanut Butter Cup. Swagger tastes like heaven, it's the only one I had a dry clearo to try
Giant Vapes - Alice in Vapeland Zombie Apocalypse
JuiceMafia.com (local to me, opening a store in a couple weeks): Thin Mint and Turkish tobacco. Thin Mint smells like a mint ice cream sundae topped with hot fudge, cannot wait to try it. Turkish tobacco smells very bold and robust, should be interesting!

Thanks for any advice!

In one of the other threads someone suggested using a Qtip in the center post to keep the liquid out, and this morning my husband came up with the bright idea of using a pencil to block the top. If it is freshly sharpened it is a clean surface. The only problem I see with this would be the chance of breaking the tip off.

I'm going to get some of the fine tip bottles but see problems with labeling them if I'm using a lot of different juices. I have hand problems so can't open the small child resistant bottles. Mt Baker, for example, is out for me since that is all they will send. I'd have to let them steep until someone could help, and then transfer to other bottles and label the bottles somehow.

if your search around enough in diy sections of websites you can find other snap on dropper tips to replace the ones you got just a suggestion.

Sounds like the dropper tips are a bit of a PITA but that's ok, I'll figure something out. Thanks much for the suggestions!

I'm thinking these will work great:

Blunt Tip Needle Cap - ECBlend

That way, I don't even really have to unscrew the cap?

I much prefer to use a syringe to fill my tanks, that's the way I started years ago. You can get blunt tip syringes from Ebay, I think I paid less than $5 for 4 of them (3 ml size is just right).

with the syringe I can squeeze it between the rubber cap and the side of the clearomizer, which eliminates the possibility of getting juice in the air vent. Of course sometimes I don't have one handy, in which case you just have to be very careful...

I too prefer the smaller tips, not even sure why makers would use the larger. I also have small clearomizers and have found that if you angle clearomizer, place tip directly to side of it and drop slowly there are no issues-so far anyway. I'm going to get some different caps though, good item to have. You might also swap caps from other bottles for now while filling.

Try tilting the bottle so the drops fall on the side right at the threads. I do that with a few of mine.

I use the drippers to fill all the time never flooded them...just till your clearamizor ...I even pour other jucies into the dripper bottles after washing

I use these ones on the right , they fit into anything. . Got it on a free sample bottle one time. Haven't got any since. Actually these should be standard because, obviously, the ones that i always get are useless and i'm surprised vapers don't complain !.

If anyone finds a source for those, I'd be interested. For now I just ordered 25 syringes, 3ml, blunt tip, from Amazon. Those should work fine.
