I know, yuck, huh? It's happened to me with a new shipment from a major bottle company. Bottles are often stored in warehouses for long periods of time, not sterile environments. Even the manufacturing process can leave debris behind.
Wow, zoiDman! Thanks for the link! My 50 ml. burette cost me $60.00 about 20 years ago, and they're offering one for $18.00? United Nuclear has some great prices.
Yeah, I want to get this set Just Because it would Look Cool with my other DIY Stuff.

Probably would Never use it but it looks Great.
That's funny zoiD! I don't remember where I got those from but it's always been either eBay, Specialty Bottles or US Plastics...occasionaly from a vendor. You can't tell with the plastic but when you buy glass and they're dusty it's more revealing. LOL
Specialty Bottles regularly favors me with broken glass, bugs and other miscellaneous debris in a few of the bottles. Just par for the course, IMO. Washing, or at least rinsing out the bottles is de rigueur before sterilizing with Everclear.
I'm tempted by that same set, too, zoiDman! Actually, it looks useful, and you can get glass really clean, unlike the mostly plastic stuff I'm using now.
If you put bees in you ejuice and eat it at the end of the bottle you should get a nice nic BUZZ
You're welcome. 35 cents a bottle is great, but shipping gets you. However, where are you going to get 10 or more glass bottles shipped cheap?
this place has everything you would even need but their shipping is outrageous.

And, I think it was already mentioned but this place has almost everything and they have cheap shipping.

It is a Cool Set. Perhaps just a Tad Small though.
I started using Glass for All my e-Liquids mainly because I couldn't Guarantee that e-Liquid Vendors were using Plastics that were Chemically Stable. I also like being able to Reuse Bottles without getting any Cross Flavor Contamination.
I made a Bottle Rack which just a block of Wood with some Dowel Rods sticking out of it. After Cleaning, I usually just pop the Bottles in the Dishwasher on the Lower Rack, I put the Bottles on the Dowel Rods to Dry. Works well.

I ordered 3 pkgs (30 bottles) of these and got them today...they are NICE!
I want some of those! What ml are they, do you know? (I find myself needing at least 2 large bottles 50+ ml. . .)
^^ It says it right in the original post. They're 4 oz bottles. Technically, they are 29.5 ml X 4 and a bit of change for each.
Great thread - if anyone has any good leads on cheap bottles and other supplies within the EU, who ships to Finland, I would be grateful (most of my stuff is from this Polish site, very cheap but somewhat limited selection).
Right now I have *nearly* all I need for awhile, but I made a serious error when ordering my first stuff and only got like five each of 5ml and 10ml plastic dropper bottles and a measly 5 plastic pipettes. You need LOTS of small bottles. Now I think I have something like 25 and 15, plus five 10ml glassbottles (with some fantastic glass drop-pipettes). What I am still lacking is bigger (30ml, maybe 50ml) bottles, but so far I haven't made anything I want to make a big batch of.
And what everyone said about syringes - luckily my pharmacy is quite helpful there, and I don't mind the sharp needles. 1ml syringes is IMO an absolute must when doing small batches.
But those plastic pipettes aren't completely useless, they are quite handy in transfering things from one bottle to another, when measurement isn't needed or when/if you are using a graduated cylinder to mix in.
