Spilling expensive juice...

[AquaLung22]

We've all been there! I think I might start putting all my e-liquid in the older plastic bottles, where the dropper is attached. Spilled over half a bottle (almost 20ml) of some $22/30mL juice, last night.. I had like 4 bottles of juice in my hands, and of course the one that spilled is my all-time favorite flavor; The O.B. by Suicide Bunny.

Not the first time I've done this, but the first time I've spilled this much of my favorite e-liquid.. I was walking up the stairs after having a good 2-hour drip session with a few bottles of juice in hand; I guess I forgot to screw the dropper-cap closed on the O.B. all the way. Spilled all over my carpet, other juice bottles, hands and clothes before I noticed.

So I guess I'll start putting my juice in the plastic bottles, it's just a pain.. I thought the glass was nice at first, but it's pretty lame when you spend almost $1 per mL and if you accidentally knock the bottle over with the cap off; the juice comes flowing right out of the wide-mouth bottle in no time. Not to mention, half the dropper's I get with these leak when I shake the bottle.
.... I searched ECF about spilling juice last night. And saw that I could've used my Japanese Cotton pad to soak up some of that juice, and use those for wicks later. Wish I read that sooner, I could've probably saved some of my juice..

Ughh just a rant, I hate spilling juice. At least I got the O.B. a little cheaper this time - bought 2 bottles at regular price, than right after that a member pointed me towards a sale so I got 2 more bottles for $10 a piece!

I must have pretty simplistic taste buds since I get by with diy that runs me less than 10 bucks for 180 ml. The other day a tip popped off a 30 ml bottle while filling a kayfun, At the price of the juice, I was ticked off more about the mess I made.

I might try DIY juice, but don't know if I can't replicate the "gourmet" flavors I buy and love..

I bought a bottle of 15ml Halo; and it has/had a wierd top, until eventually one day I tried turning the bottle upside down and wow!! The purpose of that funny top is to drip the liquid out without spilling!
Anyway the point is it is a GLASS bottle with this plastic dripper top, so you can try out a halo 15ml bottle and keep the glass bottle for usefullness; I think it's only the 15 bottle that comes with the fancy dripper cap.

I started DIY trying to replicate Heathers Heavenly Tobacco. Never happened, but I've found/created several that keep me more than satisfied. At a fraction of the cost.

Head over to the DIY forum, put your chef's hat on and give it a try.

Lol I flipped over a bottle of flavor; but no, no e juice.. Flavor is 2000% worse the smell stays and stays no matter how many times you clean it lol.. Time and constant wiping..

bleach; baking soda; vinegar; somethings gotta work..... gasoline!

it only happened to me once so far but it was a good one. Cyclops Colossus. had it sitting on a table with the top off and knocked it over and onto the carpet it went.

I guess it's not like the liquids I get aren't available all the time (like some used to be limited.. CLR for ex.). I can always grab another bottle. But it really hurts to see good juice go to waste over a spill.. especially when it's over $20 for a bottle of it!

Really wish I read that post about using your cotton to soak up most of the spill, than later use that cotton for wicks. And I've done this before too, and always just wiped it up & washed off. This would've been really easy to do with my Japanese cotton pads. Oh well.

... next time I guess. I'm sure their will be a next time!
They need to start attaching plastic droppers to these glass bottles somehow, maybe with a cap over that like a plastic bottle has. I've heard of Halo but never tried them, ill have to check.it out.

Thanks guys

Aqua, Halo is a love it or hate it juice. You ought to try it from someone first. Tastes like insecticide to me

why not just leave most of it in the bottle, and put "some" of it, lets say a day's worth, or 3, into a plastic bottle?

That way you get the clean storage with the glass bottle, and you only have to move the juice occassionally.

boy is that true! My very 1st vape was tribecca. The store owner said it was very popular. Tasted like sewing machine oil to me.

2 years later, I can still remember that taste. I really thought "vaping is not for me" at that point......then i ordered other juice and that one was johnson creek. that's antoher brand you either love or hate! Because it's got that underlying smokey mesquite barbeque kinda thing in all their flavors.

so, my introduction to vaping was actuallly delayed by 2 weeks until i got juice I could vape. I got off to a really bad start!

 

[Barbchris]

I HATE when I spill juice & I have done it many times. Very sad to waste good $. That idea of cleaning it up with cotton is good. I'll remember that.

 

[AquaLung22]

Did it again today! This time with my 12mg bottle of the O.B.. last time it was my 6mg bottle.
But this time I ran and grabbed what was left of my last Japanese cotton pad, and wiped/soaked most of it up. Luckily, most of it spilled on my desk this time.

So thanks guys, this thread helped. Hopefully this won't happen again for awhile

dropped a full bottle of Castle Long on ceramic tile ... glass and juice everywhere

 

[Lebanon]

was top filling the kayfun last night not paying much attention, over the sink luckily, and was wondering why it wasn't filling. I quickly realized that the bottom fill screw was still out and i was dumping juice right down the drain. Not much lost, but still felt pretty dumb afterwards.

I feel for you, but I don't worry about it anymore. I just buy cheap juice. MBV and ITC. My most spendy was Good Life Vapor. While a delicious juice just wasn't worth the premium to me. For me vaping is a safer way to get nicotine. For the most part you can taste the cost in MBV but with ITC it certainly taste on the premium side of things.

I really really really want to try the standard but I just can't bring myself to type in my card number to do it.

 

[Maiar]

I've been lucky. I've only spilled small amounts of juice that was on it's way up to the "never touching it again" shelf on my dresser.

 

[dhood]

Lucky here. All I've done is knock over my tank while I'm filling it so I only lose a ml or two before I catch it.
