yah I know what you mean but I still remember when orders were being intercepted:unsure:, thats why i decided to switch to rebuildable hybrids

Exactly why I say that it is the ones that have not found vaping that I am the most concerned for. Most of the rest of us are well prepared already.

I am surprised you even bothered to post that. Take a day off man, you more than deserve it.
About the caps. This is what I was hoping your bottles came with: 24-400 Black Phenolic Lid w/ Polycone Liner

This is closer to what I seem to have received (the threading is not the same in my link, though): 13-425 Black Phenolic Lid

Note: I am not complaining about what I received, and the price was certainly quite right. I am going to bet that what I received will do just fine. They sure are pretty. The lid does not have a crappy piece of paper for a seal, but I can't tell what the seal is for sure. I tested it for leakage and it works perfectly. I just thought you might want to know. Selling the 'perfect' bottles is probably not what you went into business to do. Your selection and items in stock are impressive. Keep it up!

Edit: The Competition-
-vaping Zone does not sell glass bottles.
-My Freedom Smokes sells glass bottles, but no pics or description of the caps
-One Stop DIY Shop only has 1oz glass bottles, no pics or description of the caps (one stop my a55!)
-Wizard Labs has 30ml brown glass bottles with polycone caps, 60ml is the largest size they would have and is currently out of stock, as if they had anything in stock to fill them with
-There are other suppliers of 100mg nic, but researching glass bottles for sale from DIY nic suppliers is not my hobby or forte.
Nobody in the nic liquid supply business seems to have the desire to also be a bottle supply store that can compare with laboratory suppliers. It really is asking a little too much, considering that nic suppliers that ship their e-liquids in glass don't even bother to use polycone caps. Shipping 100mg nic in a glass bottle seems like a great way to start a lawsuit. Even the largest Walmart doesn't have everything I need as a consumer; there is no such thing as a literal 'one stop shop' for everything, unless you the count the internet as one store.

I'm still not convinced that polycone caps are completely necessary. If I wanted to fill my freezer with bottles I would probably buy them in bulk from a bottle supplier, who wouldn't? This is not the case. I was going to buy RTS liquid anyways. USA grown and extracted can't be beat.
The bottles and caps look just fine. RTS vapes the competition!

That's the most important thing - not leaking. I would buy polycone caps from RTS, when I order nic and flavors, but I don't think their absolutely necessary, unless you violently shake the bottle - which isn't necessary with RTS nic. :thumb:

This is the kind of 'myth' that needs to be dispelled. I used polycone caps for wine and other fermented items, contamination could ruin them. I am also concerned about nic storage, but I prefer all my suspicions to be debunked whenever possible. Time=money and both are at stake here.
Judgement Affirmed seal of approval?

I have some bottles with the rubber cones on caps and the rubber cones look like upside down cones that point in towards the inside of bottle. You would know that they were cones if Randy has the sames ones that I have a few of. The cones are not very long or big but do seem to seal the bottle better.

Best to leave a little room at the top of bottle before freezing. Space equal to 1-2 mls is plenty. Do not fill the glass bottles to brim with nicotine before freezing.

ETA- Here is a pic of the ones that I have.

Randy, hope it was okay to post that link here. If not, please let me know and I will delete it.

I have nic in the freezer without the cone caps that is there almost three years now with no issues. Also our ECF chemist member did not mention using them and he has been freezing nic for a long time. I feel sure that either will work just fine.

Exactly! You have done your research and paid attention as well. :toast:

I have considered deleting my post regarding polycone caps, but if I can make a suggestion that could help a vendor beat the competition in any respect, I feel it's my doody. BTW, not every bottle goes in the freezer, at least one is kept to make a diluted base, and there is going to be some serious shaking on that one.

Good question. I have always shook mine up. (dont over do it) I figured it cant hurt....anything that has been sitting a while I always shake up.

Normally yes, but I can't help but think of.......Murphy's law.

No it should not need shaking if you bought it from RTS.

This was in answer to - does nic in PG need shaked before making a juice batch?
But, a better question would be - Would nic thats been stored for 6 months or a year in the freezer need shaked?

Really, it could not hurt anything to just shake it, JA. I think that you would be fine shaking with or without the cone caps.

Matter of fact, I have lots of RTS glass bottles without the cone caps. I will fill one with water and shake it well. Just to be 100% sure.

I agree salemgold, just be careful with 100mg/ml nic.....accidents can happen.
Lets see if I remember what you taught me :)

Don't the tier 1 suppliers all have to start with pretty pure nicotine, somewhere up around 997 mg/ml, which then gets mixed with PG and/or VG? (and even if they buy at a lower level, say 500 mg/ml, that means they actually aren't tier 1, since they are relying on the group they bought from having done that initial cut properly). If they haven't used the equivalent of a paint shaker, for a decent period of time, will there be voids of lower mg, and hot spots of higher mg?

I'm trying to understand if there is anything about supplier A vs. supplier B, if somehow there is "better" nic that stays dissolved uniformly better, or if it is a case of all suppliers, end of the day, need to be making sure they are thoroughly shaking/mixing their nic, all the time, prior to use. If someone makes up a gallon of 100mg/ml, and it is tested as 100, if it sits on the shelf for any length of time doesn't it have to be remixed/shaken in order to know that the 120ml decanted from it is really 100 mg/ml?


I don't think so. Once in solution, it shouldn't start to separate back out. The initial mixing, however, does need to be complete, and hot spots can occur, especially in very thick VG juices. Diffusion of nic is slower in VG, and I could imagine a gallon of 100 mg/mL total nic content still not mixed completely, with hot portions coming out for sale. But it is not like vinegar and oil. More like honey and milk. Takes a bit to mix fully, but once in, it stays in.
