Messy bottles.

[bushmaster]

I love TV's liquids but have one problem. Does anyone else find the 30 ml bottles to drip on their fingers through the vent holes when about two thirds empty? Is there a way to prevent this? Hold the bottle at 90 degrees, 45 degrees or? Is it just me?
Its the only issue I have with a company that provides the perfect vape.
Help?

Aye...I admit I don't want to sound like a beyatch but the bottles are the only thing I'd like Jeff to look at. I don't see a lot, if any, complaints about them so I don't know if he will...but yeah, mine get messy as well; especially if you shake them up a lot like I tend to do.

I have the same issue, I keep a paper towel around at all times when I'm using them. BUT, on the other hand, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tips on them I'll deal with the leakage for the tips I guess....

... and childproof caps too. A very basic safety measure for potentially toxic liquids with enticing smells and names.

SORRY, DELETED. JUST having a bad couple days. Sorry everyone. Hope I can be forgiven.

I've only had issues with one bottle - my others have been fine...no leaking at all. The one that does leak REALLY leaks - if I throw it in the bag with my vaping stuff...everything ends up wet. I just chalked it up to a bad bottle and leave it at home now *shrug*

I have a couple things to say about this thread.

First, at no point did it ever seem convenient for me to carry around a 1oz or 4oz bottle of eJuice. Before I placed my first TV order, I placed an order for bottles. Mixing bottles and little dripping vials to carry with me, etc. For the purposes of storage and transferring the eJuice to other bottles, Geoff's bottles work just fine, and that's all I use them for.

Next, I think that good can often come from an open exchange of ideas. That's what places like this are for, after all.

I've actually asked Geoff if I could purchase some of these bottles. For me, they work for filling carto's just fine. You have to wipe the carto's clean anyway after filling so it's not a problem to wipe off the tip of the bottle. I keep all my TV bottles, ocassionally you might find a leaker, but that's rare.

There are good and bad things about the bottles.
I like the pointy tip, I dislike how hard they are to remove.
I dislike that they tend to pour instead of drip (I used to count drops when mixing the liquid with the doubler) but I've learned to keep a ruler handy and measure how much I want of each. I am incapable of eyeballing the size of anything.
I like that they are a semi-rigid plastic that has to be squeezed.
I dislike that the doubler bottles are a fraction of an inch too wide for the small Priority Mail boxes.

I haven't emptied out many of the one ounce bottles yet so I'm not really using them for mixing. Maybe, once I do, I'll find that some of the above matters to me more or less.

In the meantime, I've found some 2 ounce bottles that I love for mixing and dripping at home and I have a bunch of 6 milliliter bottles for carrying with me.

I've never had an issue with them, but I don't carry them around either.

The only one that I had leak was because I hadn't screwed the top on tightly.

In any event, I don't carry carry this size around either, so it's never been a problem for me.

I love the TV bottles, no big leaks, occassionally I have to wipe the tops off. Wish I get get bottles about 1/2 ounce with the same tips to carry around. Unlike other dropper bottles, these drip fast and easy.

I wish he used glass dropper bottles. Classy juice deserves classy bottles. I also feel that any liquids (water included) that are stored for an extended period of time in plastic often take on a slight plasticy taste.

But oh well, can't have it all. I'd rather have better juice than better bottles.

Go to a health food type store. One that sells essential oils etc...buy some glass dropper bottles, usually found in amber or blue. They run about 3 bucks each retail, give or take.

 

[rosesense]

I love the bottles and will buy yours for a reasonable price if you want to sell them

 

[AmyB66]

Here ya go Rose, I only have three empties and plan to hang onto them.
I saw at the bottom of the page that you can also buy pretty cobalt blue ones...

Amazon.com: Glass Amber Bottles with Droppers 1 Oz (1 Dozen):…


Here's the link for the blue ones. Looks like you can buy these bottles by the single or dozen and you can also get a two ounce one.

I happen to like TV bottles...In fact i found an English company that sells almost identical ones and i had been using those before i tasted TV juice.

What I do is take a strip of clear packing tape and wrap it around the label/bottle to make sure the label doesn't get unreadable (like a cheap and quick lamination).

Having said that, I've had a couple of leaker bottles. Other things leak too, like cartos/attys if they are in the same bag.

I like the drip-tip bottles TV uses and I hope they continue to use those. For me, I've never received a leaky bottle in the mail from TV...EVER...so maybe it's a matter of us needing to make sure we securely tighten the caps upon use and receipt. Just food for thought.
