Plastic Bottles & E-Liquid

[Clovery]

thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure I want to get into dripping since I have a small child and I'm worried about constantly having the nicotine liquid sitting around and getting it on my hands and then having to grab him before I get a chance to wash. Right now cartomizers seem to be the way to go - fill them once or twice a day and then lock up the supplies. Dripping does sound appealing to me, though. Maybe in a year or two

 

[mwa102464]

haha ok but you dont get it on you really, and even if you do it isnt going to hurt you one bit and it washes right off and none will get on the kid, I drip all day and its no mess at all,,,, plus sometime when your done with a carto dissect it and look inside that filler Telling ya try a 357 in a drip shield with an adapter and a nice glass TrippyTip. no muss/no fuss and a nice clean vape with no filler taste or vaping burnt filler all day long

It sounds great, and avoiding the filler taste is one of the big reasons I've been using the stardusts. I do seem to get juice on my hands pretty often while handling the juice. Maybe it's just because I'm new. In any case, nicotine is absorbed transdermally (that's how the patch works) and already I've been filling up a cartomizer, went to pick up a cup that my son dropped, gave it back to him, then realized I hadn't washed my hands and had to take it away from him. Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but I'm not going to shrug it off and assume everything will be okay when I'm handling poisonous liquids around a 1 year old.

If I can't find any cartomizers I like, I will definitely check out the atomizer. But I really am afraid of having all this junk sit around out in the open and with the constant filling that's required with dripping, I know I would eventually get lax about where I put the bottles, and that's how accidents happen...

Well Clovery if your leaving bottles and stuff all over the place out and about then this is a different story all together, I would store everything hi and dry away so nothing could be gotten at for sure. Then I would simply fill a 6ml Glass bottle or something small, even a small syringe with one of those plastic needle tips would work especially well to drip out of, there are also some special bottle tops for glass to that you can use to drip with. Play it safe first and foremost but I dont see much that can go wrong if your heads on straight which it sounds like it is. Telling you just try this set up,,, you can load quite a few drops of juice in the 357 Atty, especially with a nice drip shield on it which will grab any that leaks out, so there is no mess and this is simply a totally dry vape with NO mess at all, I use it all the time myself, and enough to vape plenty in between dripping too with this set up.

Have you tried stainless steel CE2's? The large ones hold 1.8 ml of juice. I can understand why you would want to be extra cautious but can't you just fill you cartomizers once a day and then put everything away?

yep, that's what I hope to do - fill them up once or twice a day and lock up the supplies. I meant that with dripping I'd be worried about leaving stuff around since it'd be a PITA to keep putting it away. I ordered a pack of stainless and a pack of ceramic CE2s last night that use a wick system instead of filler.

And to get this thread back on topic.... I got my glass bottles today!

I ordered 8 one ounce bottles and 8 half ounce bottles, 4 of each size in blue and amber, with standard caps. I also got 3 one dram (~3.5 ml) vials with droppers in amber, blue, and green. Pics below, beer can is for perspective



I ordered these from Specialty Bottle - Glass Bottles, Glass Jars, Tin Containers, Vials, Plastic Bottles, Plastic Jars for Food, Cosmetics, Candles and Aromatherapy The total cost was around $25, nearly half of that was shipping. They were packaged well and arrived safely and quickly via USPS priority mail.

Now see how sexy that is! Wow, can't wait... though, I didn't get that much

Great pics Clovery!

Nice way to keep it going with that post clovery, great purchase, let us know how all your new juices taste and store using the new glassware I still cant believe more people here on ECF aren't all over this thread and aren't doing the same switching over to all GLASS. It's such a no brainer !!! But then again they will pay $50 and even $80 for a glass carto tank and you can buy a 4' piece of glass tube for $20+ and make as many tanks as you will ever want for way less then one glass tank vendors are charging,,,,, it cracks me up some of this stuff.

Very cool...they look great!

 

[mwa102464]

So anybody doing any comparisons on the Glass vs Plastic bottles lately ?

 

[kaysesoze]

Very interesting read. I definitely have to consider using glass bottles now for my mixing and selling to coworkers. Just need to find glass bottles in bulk at a good price.

For my part, I'm waiting for our resident trusted chemist to respond. I want to know the hard facts/science.

I do intend though as stated before to order glass for my storage here at home. I would only go further after being presented with the data. I don't personally notice a plasticy taste nor see damage to any of my plastic, but again want science now to supplement our subjective views (regarding taste, not arguing your premise is right or wrong)

Water (clean anyway) is both healthy and neccessary, but its enough of a solvent to carve the grand canyon. Does that mean I should be concerned about drinking it? Maybe a bad analogy, but if there ARE issues I argue its more about the plastic than the fact that something in the juice reacts with it.

If you read back one of our ECF chemist = Kurt has made a response, but my findings differ a bit., @ kaysesoze same page back there are some links to bottles and where you can get them. In regard to taste I DO SEE A DIFFERENCE, especially over longer storage spans storing the juice, thats what really made me switch, besides seeing damage to some plastic bottles. Simple do a small test and put 6ml's of juice in a plastic bottle and 6ml's in a glass bottle, put them on your window sill for a few weeks, note the difference of color change and the taste difference in your juices,,, I'm sure some flavorings vary more then others so you could try this with a few of your juices to really test it, I have.

So they say,,,BUT, ever drink water from a plastic water bottle and taste the plastic ? I have,,, when I drink out of a glass it taste much cleaner, ALWAYS,,, Source = MWA

 

[TheBlueAdept]

I missed Kurt's response, thanks I will scan back.

Regarding testing on windowsill, I would agree with others that I keep juices out of sunlight no matter what they are stored in. When I get some glass, I will try this but in a cool dark ventilated space.

And, as stated above, assuming my vendor stores their quantities in glass, I know they mix to order, and I get them next day, so they are in plastic for no more than 24-36 hours in theory... Unless the effects are rapid and significant, it personally doesn't bug me as ill get them into glass promptly.

[mwa102464]

Only reason I suggest the window sill is to speed up the process for testing, you can store it in a cool dark place same thing will happen, I'm not gonna get into a debate about it because taste is to subjective with everyone's being different, but in my case I can taste the difference in my juice stored in Glass vs Plastic, plus I see what happens to the inside of bottles very quickly.

 

[TheBlueAdept]

I wasn't trying to debate you, but I would have to argue that sunlight may speed up the process, but it is also adding UV, a new variable, and that is poor science.

I don't disagree that you or others can't taste a difference, or claiming your original premise is bad. Just that bad science doesnt provide accurate results, so I would not do the test the same way you chose.
