The only place I've found just the caps is: Black Phenolic Screw Cap, 28-400 with Polyvinyl Cone Liner. But, they only sell to companies, not individuals.

I did find this: 125ml boston round. But, I guess you already had a place to buy the bottle and lid together or you wouldn't have had the lid to lose in the first place.

I am glad that I found it for me though!

Oh, well. . . . . bump for more help.

ETA: I think I read today that RTS Vapes is waiting for their first shipment of amber glass bottles with that type of cap. They're just starting to carry them. Maybe you can ask if they'll sell you just the caps.

Alright, I've solved this. I got frustrated and ordered some through Container and Packaging Supply thanks to their live chat. Their customer service is simply amazing! I was able to get the 3 caps via their sample program at no charge. Granted, the shipping on them was $7.50, but at least I didn't have to order them in bulk nor do they require a minimum dollar amount for orders! This company will definitely be my go to for glass bottle supplies from now on.

I'm not sure where to find just caps, but I do know all poly cone caps are not the same size. I have amber bottles, and colbalt blue bottles, and the caps are not interchangeable. They are so close in size, I have to look very close.

Somehow I misplaced the poly cones to my 32 oz boston rounds. (33-400 size) Anyone know where I can purchase just the caps without the 17+ dollar shipping that SKS wants? I know one of the members here used to sell the bottles, but that's been awhile.

Thanks in advance!

440BB you might contact Wizard and see if they would sell the caps separately. Container and Packaging Supply does carry them in that size (20-400 in case you need to know) for 14 cents a piece, but like everyone else the shipping would be a little over $17.00 to my neck of the woods; pretty costly unless you're placing an order for more than just a few caps. Like I mentioned, they do have a sample program... but I wouldn't suggest we hit them in mass or they might just blackball us all. :D Of course, if they saw a genuine need they might also include some expanded shipping options.

Just because those caps fit, doesn't mean all caps will fit. That's the point I was making!

I have amber 30ml boston rounds I bought from Wizard Labs, and those poly cone caps fit perfectly on my cobat blue Halo bottles. Now if I could only pick up some more of those caps!

Did you get your bottles from WL?

No, a non-nic supplier, in fact I'm not sure I remember who I ordered them from at this point. :) The thing with the boston rounds is that they are pretty standard from maker to maker as far as individual size, but not from bottle size to bottle size. For example, as far as I can tell a Sprayco 32 oz boston round takes the same size cap as an SKS boston round, but a 32 ounce boston round doesn't take the same size cap as a 500 ml boston round. You would think that they would at least have the same size caps from the 32 ounce down to about the 125 ml, but unfortunately, no.
