Well here I thought I was the only one having issues with these CRC caps that arent really CRC.
I placed my first order about 2 weeks ago for 60ml of Radioactive and 60ml of H1N1. let them steep for a couple weeks and yesterday took the 60ml of H1N1 to work.
placed it in my laptop bag inside a ziplock but stuck a wad of paper towels to separate it from the other glass bottle of Gentlemen s Reserve (didnt want them to break!)
went to try some H1N1 and saw the bottle on its side and no top :ohmy: yep I lost about 30-40ml of the juice, was able to get about 5ml back but the rest got sucked up by the paper towel.I say these aren't really CRC caps cause when I first got it they would screw down and click but not be sitting flush(always on an angle) gave a tug and can pop the tops off so they are not really child resistant but figured it would stay on well enough to travel to work as i wouldn't be tugging on the cap during travel.Oh well lesson learned, wish I saw this thread before I decided to take the bottle with me to work.

No rant on the vendor, good juice and quickly shipped and properly packed but wish they would look into these cap issues or at least offer a discount when you order 4 - 15 ml like you get when you order 60ml that way I can avoid these caps and take my juice to work and save some money. ( i see now that they are well aware of the cap issue and have new caps in newer batches so :toast:)

In my case at least, it seems the cap ID is simply too large. Other caps fit the bottles as they should so I'll rule out the bottle thread OD being too small. The caps I have are black and if you turn them just a little "too much" (still less than I tighten other similar caps), they jump the threads and go back to being a turn looser than they were. So they're not actually "stripped" per se, but are instead able to deform when tightened, allowing the cap threads to jump the bottle threads. Hope that makes sense...

This makes perfect sense. We've actually resolved that issue for the most part (on the purple flat caps). There never was an issue with the droppers. That said, we still have some of the black caps in stock. They are serviceable, but it would suffice to say I'm not a fan.

I have a bottle of radio, (12514070 batch) that has a wonky cap (black cap), no leaked juice, but I am going to request a new cap on my next order. I understand that sometimes .... happens, no big deal for me. :)

We can accommodate that Burnie, no worries!

I just got my first glass bottle, but the threads are stripped on the cap and it won't stay on. Luckily it only leaked a little and I don't think I lost much. Anyone have an idea of something that will fit? Are those bottles compatible with other brands caps? If so, I'll vape something empty and use it ;) don't want to lose my liquid gold!

I have this same problem with my current bottle of Atlanta, good thing it was in a well sealed waterproof bag in my purse because it pretty much coated everything in it with my precious Atlanta. I'm washing out old plastic bottles at the moment but I think I lost almost 30 ml. Bag sure smelled yummy though ;)

That is a bummer. Love Nicoticket. Not a fan of the bottles. Between the sur la table funnel and some 50ml LDPE bottles off eBay I have a good working solution. I lost some juice myself. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

The smallest of these is a perfect fit in the bottles you don't even have to hold the funnel.

We've made some great strides in the caps with the transition to the purple guys... and - we're QCing every bottle before it ships now so we haven't had a leaky shipment since the first week of the transition to glass. That said, we still very much encourage everyone to store bottles right side up.

Also - we're working on getting a dropper on all the bottles - 15s, 30s, 60s. Just a heads up.

Thanks Clark, I put a note on the order, #38259

Well call me Confused Clark. Here is the note that is on my order ticket.

Hey ******** ! We don't have any spare caps as we recieve the liquid bottled & ready to ship. This Drippin' 2 Go should help you out. :)

Really not sure how a 10ml needle bottle is the same as a cap. :confused:

We receive the liquid bottled and ready to ship? I don't understand this, unless NT ships the juice to another location for distribution?
