Small complaint

[BonnyC]

It's really not a big deal, but I thought I would let you guys know. The 30 ml bottles are next to impossible to get juice out of. The hole is way too narrow. I am having to pop the tip off and use a syringe to fill my stuff. It is just an inconvenience, but I figured I ought to report it. I don't think it is the juice being too thick because it is 70 pg and 30 vg, but that shouldn't matter because all of the bottles should work with all of the juices. I have some empty VB 5ml bottles that I'm going to clean out and use, anyway.

I agree with you on this. I had to take a paper clip and attempt to make the hole larger. I tried and failed to take a pair of scissors and cut off the top. Like you said, not a big deal.

Take a medium paperclip with ridged texture and jam it in the hole. This will waller it out enough for your juice to flow well. I do it all the time.

Right, it's easy enough to get around it, but it shouldn't be a problem in the first place. This is just sort of a heads up so that they might consider purchasing different bottles in the future when they need to restock.

I agree as well. It hurts my hand when it gets about 1/2 way down the bottle.

I've found that some batches of bottles are ok, others have that problem. I usually just stick something in the hole to make it larger if it's an issue.

On a similar note, I wish VB would give the option of glass dropper bottles. Even if it cost a little extra I'd probably go this route because I like them. Plus they're great for those of us who do DIY.

Agreed, the "new" bottles suck. Like the old-school ones better for dripping. As a caveat, the new bottles are AWESOME for anything you load with a syringe: the wide opening without the tip lets you get every last drop out of the bottle. I just loosen the cap, snap it to the side, and it takes the tip with it. When I'm done, I just screw the tip/cap assembly back on as one piece, very efficient.

See, I have been using a syringe a lot, but I feel like having to pop the cap off is messy. With the smaller bottles, I can stick the needle through the hole in the tip and load it with no mess. Just goes to show how everyone has different tastes!

I will def mention this to our Purchasing Dept. I don't really have any say so when it comes to that area, but I bet you guys are fantastic at thumb wrestling. Seriously tho, I will bring it to there attention for you guys.

Ditto.. thought it was just me.. couldn't pry the top off the 30 ml bottle.. ended up chomping down and pulling it off with my teeth LOL.. I did make a little mess with it though the cinnabomb is like gold to me!

I pushed one of my sewing needles through the tip and used my husband's Leatherman to yank it back out. It worked great, so I'm set for now.

Just received my first order from VB today figured I would give one a quick try before putting it away to steep. I thought the end cap was gonna blow out of the bottle I was squeezing so hard.
