Well, I can see why so many prefer the squeezable plastic and thin tips, but I still like the glass bottles and dripper. I think it is a bit less user friendly, but it looks and feels so nice! And once you get used to handling the dripper, you can get pretty good at getting the drip in to small tanks. That being said, I am still pretty new and I can see that glass bottle thing getting old at some point. But it hasn't yet!

Thanks!!

I like the choice of plastic or glass (even if it costs $1 more).

For plastic I like easy to squeeze (not the clear hard ones) with a long plastic dripper
and for glass I like a bottle with a dropper - NOT the euro dropper (those get tossed).
It's also nice if the same bottles are available empty because sometimes I like mixing up my flavors.
I also like it when eliquid is delivered without any spillage - so a shrink type seal can be helpful.

Thx for the contest. My spinner just died.

For me the bottle has to be squishy plastic with a needle tip. It makes filling tanks a breeze. Plastic is preferred to glass because I tend to throw bottles in my coat or pockets. I don't want to break the glass by accident.

Another must is a childproof lid. I have a 6 year old daughter. The last thing that I need is for her to open the bottle and drink it or spill it all over. I do keep it out of her reach, but
added safety is good for peace of mind.

The last key ingredient to a good bottle is size. As I tend to carry them with me, I have found that a 10ml bottle is the perfect size. 5ml is too small as most of my tanks are 3ml. 10ml allows for the perfect amount to be carried and fit well in pockets. Any bigger and they are bulky to carry around.

Best eliquid bottle for 30ml and under (short term storage only, i.e. bottles you use every day and perhaps fill from your glass bottles):
1) LDPE -HDPE (low and high low density polyethylene) May also be called Nalgene plastic. Offer good flexibility and visibility
2) Squeezy Easy
3) Long narrow tip makes filling cartos and clearos easy
4) Multi-colored child-proof caps, ie. I can use a different colored cap for different categories of juices: green for menthol/mint, purple for candies, black for tobacco, etc. (helps me color code my juice for quick finding)

Best ejuice bottle for 30ml and over: (allows longer storage of larger juice quantities)
1) Amber or Cobalt glass bottle with dropper
2) Plain cap available for extra $ with order (some juices may erode plastic droppers bulbs over time)

Worst ejuice bottle:
1) PET clear transparent plastic, hard as rocks to squeeze and "crease" if squeezed too hard
2) Top caps called "Strap Caps"
3) Bottles that taper too much at top with small openings....they never dry out after washing and retain "droplets" of water inside
4) #7 plastics including polycarbonates that contain bisphenol A (BPA)

What makes a great e-liquid bottle?!
You have to have class and elegance in my opinion! Glass and an eye dropper lid is my favorite. If the glass is blue that's amazing...but some labels look best with clear glass. I like the idea of your label representing your company and what it's all about. If you sell cartooned themed juices then have a cute relate-able label. If you have a science based e-liquid then something cool and sophisticated is perfect! Mostly I'd recommend catching a theme and sticking to it. Mostly because I love original juice companies and original flavors.

P.s. I like the idea of serial numbers...like if the bottle is amazing you could put special numbers on it for bottle collectors...I collect antique bottles and it would be amazing to start a juice bottle collection! So yes, originality! :)

Good luck to everyone! Thank you for the contest.

I like to think that glass bottles tend to make the juice taste better (kind of like the difference between drinking a soda out of a glass bottle as opposed to a metal can), but I'm not sure it makes too much of a difference. Could just be a placebo effect. Although, I do like the ease of plastic bottles. Easier to fill. Just squeeze, fill 'er up, and you're done. (That's what she said.)

One thing I love about companies like Mt. Baker Vapor and Johnson Creek is that they include nutritional facts with their labels. Not that it means much, really, but it does make the bottles look a bit more professional, in my opinion. Pretty labels with images always get me pretty excited; especially the ones that don't just wear off after use.
