Just wondering how safe these are for storing my flavorings? Are silicone bottles better?
Hopefully the PET are ok as they have a wide mouth for refilling them.

I use them for my mixes, and no baby gorillas have shown up yet (unfortunately)
So off to find another solution.
Yes, but there are no large bottles. The biggest I've seen are 30 ml. I use 200ml chubby gorilla.@oplholik
Could look at upper working temperature of Silicone Elastomer (200-260 C) vs PET (115-170 C). This should give you a rough Idea regarding the two materials.

I also believe that silicone may be a better material over time because it probably (if I recall correctly) has a higher tolerance to environmental aging (exposure to common contact concerns such as heat,oxidation and air carried toxins which can accelerate aging).

I know these (60ml) are out there somewhere because I have a gang of them in different colors.

I have no idea if they're safe, but I drive my car a lot, and we all know how safe that is (especially the way I drive).
I only use these for my immediate/on hand use. I store my juices in 125ml amber bottles for long term stuff.
What kind of bottles would you like to find (ie. glass, LDPE, HDPE, PP, etc.) and what size(s)? Also, with what type of closure (skinny dropper tip & screw on cap, just a polycone cap, a plain screw on cap, etc.)? Do you want colored, translucent, or clear?
Yeah. Silicone bottles tend to be really thick so the mouths are going to be small. Also they’re really squishy.I would like to find 60 ml bottles that have a dripper tip, and bottles with a large mouth for refilling. The Chubby Gorillas I get from a flavor supplier are PET bottles. The 60 ml silicone bottles I've seen are all small mouthed.
I found these and looks like they would have a large enough mouth.
@oplholik - If you definitely want LDPE though, here's a deal from a US eBay seller for 25 of the 60mL LDPE bottles with a wider opening and a twist-top closure (more secure than Yorker caps & tops) for $14 and change including free S/H. I'll keep looking, too, for less expensive ones. That's a decent deal that may be hard to beat though at 58cents per bottle delivered to your door. The other ones you linked to are $1.07 each to your door.
