These are the type of dispensing bottles/caps I use as my "working bottles" for plain PG and plain VG. I love them! I've seen them in 1oz. - 16oz., but the 8oz. is the one I prefer for both. They're very easy to squeeze if you buy the LDPE ones. The twist open caps come in various colors (all black, all white, all natural, or a combination of black or white with a natural colored twist top). These photos are from OSDIY since I knew they had them. But...I've seen both the bottles w/caps and just the caps on FT, on eBay, and on Amazon. If buying just the twist caps though, you first need to know the exact neck size of the bottles you already have (ie. 20-410, 24-400, etc.)

Bottles w/twist cap at OSDIY:

Example of just the caps:

BCF used to carry the twist tops. I have many.

That's why I've only been buying mostly from sourcemore. Just shipping and no additional charges.
Since PACT Act I refuse to buy from any USA stores. Europe and the Far East only. Even if it means paying more.

    Just placed small ft order for Zlide dt's.
    Good choice, they fit 100% in Zenith II atty also.

    BTW. Very nice collection.
    Thanks so much Fran, I'm very happy with the Innokin Coolfire.
    I'm going back to the clear glass on the white, I thought it was going to be better than it turned out to be. But I think it will dress the black very well, and possibly also the ash gray.

    I'm thinking either should look good on the grey.

    Am I the only one here who doesn't mind buying gear from U.S. stores?

    The shipping restrictions were always to be expected in my mind, and my state only charges an excise tax on e-liquid, which I don't buy, so maybe I'm less affected than others but it's not bothering me to continue business with what few U.S. retailers we have left.

    it's keeping them in business a while longer anyway.

    Somewhere between here and there
    It's not that I mind buying from US vendors and have but the prices for most of the stuff I am looking for is much higher here then you add on the extra fees and such and it's a lot higher. For example, price the Aspire Boxx at a US vendor if you can find it. It's $62 plus shipping of around $8 where other places are selling it at $100+.

    Crazy but the Amarula is still too strong @.5% IMO.
    It is a strong flavor. Much more concentrated than most FA's. Thinking my 10ml bottle will last a very long time.


    I'm considering 2 drops of Amarula per 15ml mix.
    I agree.

    Per ELR's create recipe 2 drops in 15ml = 0.25%

    That is true and I suppose I never really think about that because of the way I've always purchased.

    I've actually never once bought a mod from China, because those, in my mind, are more easily damaged in shipping and if there does happen to be an issue I've just always preferred to deal with U.S. vendors for that sort of thing.

    The things I buy from China have always been RDA's and RTA's, plus things like orings and replacement parts as a result.

    So I guess I've spent so long doing that I've never much considered the cost differences between here and there, but yeah the savings can be a lot.

    Yep, I usually mix in 15ml bottles so going with 2 drops in next mix.
