Thanks flint. I had a chart but it was hard to read so I just replaced it in my favs with this one. Mike had given me an easy calculation to do when the chart wasn't handy, I just can't remember now what it was. That's a much better chart than the one I had though!

HDPE Vs. LDPE | eHow.com

I have both and, to me, the big difference is "to squeeze or not to squeeze." Zikwid has all HDPE bottles and you don't squeeze.. the juice just drips out. In a way I like them because some of the empty LDPE bottles I squeeze vary in how hard you have to. With HDPE, the bottle does the work but if you need to work fast in more volume, you can't hurry things up short of pouring or using a syringe instead of counting drops.

I think you might be confusing HDPE bottle with the "PET" bottles. HDPE stands for high density polyethylene and LDPE stands for low density polyethylene, the difference being as expected, the thickness of the plastic. They are both flexible however, and though you can see through them, they are translucent. The PET bottles are the very stiff, clear plastic, not very flexible...I personally find them difficult to use with arthritic fingers, but I do like their transparency. As far as storing juice...I don't think there is much of a difference, or at least nothing I could find. If you are looking for a good inexpensive source, try Looking Here! I get them there all the time and have always been pleased. The price is sure right too!

PS
Or maybe I'm misinformed...it is all so confusing! This is what I thought I learned originally when I first started looking for bottles. Now I have to go look again!

Oh my goodness, I just noticed a little personal milestone that is sure no big deal to some of you here, but it struck me as pretty awesome considering my slow start...I've avoided over ten thousand cigarettes! Ten thousand!!! Wow! That's a lot, right? Like, 500 packs? 50 cartons? Holy (non) smokes!!! Over a period of 200 days! I feel good! I think I will go DIY myself up something awesome to celebrate! Things sure change huh? Whoopee!!! And a thanks to all of you for your help and support, you are all the bestest!!! ((((((HUGS))))))

Life is good

I'm finishing off Heather's Gandalf and then breaking out the Heavenly Tobacco
to see how it fairs. Later today I'm going to make my first sample of juice, and
I'm thinking peanut butter might be good.

Oooh I had meant to post this and forgot I've never tried NiteLite but I think I've seen some folks say they are fans...for some reason the ordering goes offline or something if I remember right. Saw that a reliable vendor now carries a good many of their popular flavors, and they just restocked:

NiteLite Vapor e-Liquids

Edit: Oh noooo, I don't think the link worked AGAIN. If not, try this one:

NiteLite

 

[FranC]

ECF quit on me for a minute there.

Nitelite is now carried by www.litecigusa.net. I have quite a few of the flavors & outside of my DIY, it's the only liquid I buy. I'd like to add that since they made the switch, I get delivery in 2 days....awesome!

Sorry about the double post....ECF maybe?????

 

[Kat56]

Thanks Moishe - that's the vendor I was trying to post about, but for some reason it looks like my links are affiliate links when they are NOT, and they do not work. Booing and hooing.

Yippee Skippee CharlieGirl!!! That is FABULOUS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Hee hee! Thanks cutie! I feel special!

My vaping line-up for today, all DIY of course, all loaded into T-2's: Cherry-vanilla clove; Koff Dripz (honey/licorice/menthol-like a Ludens cough drop); Downtown Brown (Caramel/butterscotch/toffee/cinnamon); Grape Ice (FE grape/menthol); Mya Papaya (papaya/sweetener/touch of menthol); Happy Snappy (ginger, champagne, lemon, ginseng). Right now I'm sucking on the Koff Dripz cuz I have a scratchy throat and it feels good! Three down, three to go! Ya think I like variety?

It's hard to believe we all smoked the same flavor for all those years huh? I'm a flavor junkie now though! I'm hoping that if the FDA messes with us I would NOT go back to smoking but would be able to wean to 0 nic and all my flavors, since I seem to enjoy them more than anything now. Them and all the other attributes of the habit. At night when I'm chain vaping I will sometimes vape 0 nic for the halibut, and barely notice any difference...I think it is mostly psychological at this point. Or at least I hope! I know I am more sensitive to the WTA's than to nicotine, but I think I am even getting that under control. It's a struggle sometimes, but so worth it! I am so proud of all of us! Serious, whether or not you vape 100%, you are making the effort to help yourself, and that is a good thing! Every stinky you don't smoke is another victory. For me, my big reward is when I go to either of my doctors and they have me now listed as a "non-smoker"! I just never thought I would see that day! It makes me want to pinch myself!

Thanks. I'm concerned though as my freezer is full of cod!
Hope the nic is ok.
