These seem comparable. Sixty-seven cents more but six bottles instead of five. I'm getting 'em.

Thanks, @JCinFLA!

You're welcome for the heads up about that type! :) Those you're buying look the same to me! I think there's probably 2-3 plastics manufacturers that all those sellers on Amazon, OSDIY, and anyone else who sells them...get them from. I think you'll definitely like them better than the 16oz. ones you were thinking of maybe getting.

I'm going to run out of bottles in no time.

What size do you use for doing your sft? Also, do they have to have the dripper tip and screw on cap...or can they be different? Do you prefer plastic or glass?

Hmm, so from your experience with it, how do you think it would affect FW Blueberry 2.5%, FA Fuji Apple 1%, FA Pear 1.25%, and FA Fresh Cream 1% ... would it do anything discernible to the mix? That is what I'm currently vaping and its pretty good, but if I can make it better, I'm not opposed.
In that case I really dont think its necessary. Do you feel something is missing? I rarely do blueberry on its own. Fa blackcurrant, boysenberry can really help layer blueberry. A TOUCH of lemon can help brighten it also

Alrighty, just trying to get a sense of where I can use it :)

On a side note, my brother and his girlfriend are looking for a peach or strawberry peach (I'm not really a peach fan). Could any of you guys recommend a good peach or strawberry peach recipe and what your favorite peach and strawberry flavors/vendors are? Or what your favorite peach pairings are?

Thank you :)

I vaped a peach/watermelon/blackberry for years (back when shops would mix stuff for you, then after I started diy). You could sub blueberry. I’m one of the few I think that like blackberry. I prefer FA white peach and strawberry ripe (I think). Sorry, not digging in the dark for the emptiest strawberry bottle lol (yes, that’s how I know which one to use).

Yeah, eight-ounce bottles make more sense. I was just being lazy.

I'm using these for sfts, without the Euro dropper. I'll grab one of the droppers I have hanging around when I start testing. At the moment, that's how I'm thinking of proceeding: store in capped glass bottles and then pull out a dropper to use when I'm filling.

In cooking, a whisper of lime can brighten up blueberry beautifully. Don't know if that holds for e liquid.

I love blackberry! Think I'm going to enjoy black currant, too. I'll find that out tomorrow.

PackagingOptionsDirect.com has some of those in their 75% off Clearance section. Some aren't 10mL though, but are quite a bit smaller IIRC and in several colors. You may want to check them out before buying more of the ones you linked.

OOPS! Fixed the website name.

@Zazie - For example - Here's the 10mL Amber ones...$.30 each for the bottle + a regular white screw on cap.

10 ml Amber Glass Round Euro Dropper Bottle - 18mm Neck Finish

Here's some Cobalt Blue 15mL Boston Round Bottles & caps for them. They're also $.30 each for a bottle and a Black Phenolic cap with Foam Liner.

0.5 oz Cobalt Blue Glass Boston Round Bottle - 18-400 Neck Finish

There are quite a few others, including some smaller than either of those, measured in drams rather than in mL or oz..

The 8 ml Round Type I Packer Bottles are intriguing, but the description says they're clear glass and the specs say they're amber. I'd only get them if they were amber. Do I really want 202 of them? No. But it's less than I paid for 24 10ml bottles, so I'm very tempted. If they are indeed amber, that is. I've just sent a message asking for clarification.

There are other bottles in the clearance section that are of the type I like. I'll probably get some of them. Such amazing prices!

I checked out the 8mL Type I bottles, but didn't link you to them since they were by the case of 202. But, you're like me...sometimes a super deal is just too hard to pass up. Who knows...someone else you know might want to split a case with you.

I noticed that difference in how they're described, too.
POD is always very happy to answer customer questions by phone during regular business hours/days. I've called a few times for clarification on some of their things in the past.

Yep! It's been a "dangerous place" for me to visit since I started DIY about 3 1/2 years ago. It's especially true when they have these super Clearance Sales! :D

I'd bet that they're definitely Amber, since the pictures and the Specs both indicate that. They only have 1 case of them left, too. Yesterday morning they had several cases when I looked at them.

If you do get them...of the choices of caps below the bottles...I'd recommend the 2nd ones shown, with the polycone liner since they're the same $.06 each as the ones with the foam liner.

    It's so cool where I live, I mostly don't need to worry about refrigerating certain things.

    I went through my flavors and took off all the shrink wrapping and checked to be sure I could open the bottles. Had to resort to surgery to get the cap off the OOO Lemon Round Candy and destroyed it in the process, so I had to transfer the contents to another bottle. The label peeled off the OOO bottle and was still sticky enough to slap it on the new one. A win of sorts.

    I should've tried the sfts I mixed yesterday but didn't have the heart. Tomorrow I'll do that and also mix up some more sfts (on to blackberry!).

    I'm going to run out of bottles in no time.
    Gotta stock up on those small bottles for sft's. As many as I have I still run low when I have a ton of flavors to do like now. Where in Maine are you,Zazie? I've been as far as Bangor.

    I haven’t used much peach but there are a few good strawberry flavors in my opinion. Tfa strawberry ripe, inw shisha strawberry, and I haven’t tried it yet since I just got it but fa juicy strawberry is supposed to be really good.
