Square bottles?

[Justice]

Good calls...v1.1

Required bottle shape: Square (rectangular?) We need an LDPE bottle where the outside dimensions are required to be 18mm wide x 18mm deep x with a 40mm body height (50mm to top of 13-425 neck). Bottle must accept standard dripper tip and 13-425 dripper tip cap. The edges should be rounded to a 3mm radius.

Comments: This bottle will contain liquid that is dispensed via minimal finger squeeze pressure. It is to be opaque/natural color and is to fit into an existing product that currently uses the standard 6ml LDPE dripper bottle and we are looking to maximize the liquid capacity. Is this possible? If interested please provide a cost per 1000.

That's for the grands right what about the 18490 ?? That IMO would be the most pride tone to get done ASAP

Yes thankfully my wife is among those and I'm glad to be able to provide to her.

Mine too dude.

Right, in for a penny...

But here's the thing with the 490...to make the 3ml work Rob left a step to make up the depth...big, huge assumption here...could the machining be modified (buy request?, option?) to get the full 18mm depth?...some peeps have no issue with milling out the step but??? not to mention, what would that do to the mechanics (squeezability) of a "x"mm x 18mm bottle if you follow what I'm saying?

At any rate, I left my 490 at the cottage...can someone tell me max width and max height? (I'm allowing 10mm from top of neck to top of body for the cap).

 

[supertrunker]

Yeah but square bottles don't roll as well. I would prefer square batteries that just fit in the Grand perfectly.

i cannot get a 9v in there cos of that dividing wall!

T

I don't have a mm measuring device here but a square bottle would fit the 18490 same depth as width Im pretty certain anyways

 

[Tony Spectacular]

Mine too dude.

When did your wife meet Super_X?

LMAO,

If everyone would squeee! over a bottle with four sides, they should be squeefs.

 

[newplague]

I'll take 35 of these awesome quigsworth bottles.

14.5mm square and same height as existing bottle would fit in an existing Mini 2.1 and hold around 5.3ml, if the walls are 0.5mm thick (0.020").

I think these may be 6mm already, with tip, in LDPE (soft), and this company does custom design work (don't know about pricing tho):

It's hard to see, but that's a square, with the squeeze top that can have tip lopped off for the hole. Hope that helps.

So it seems that there's interest in the square bottle so I've come up with this to start my little contact campaign to the various US bottle manufacturers...

Comments? Adds?

Starting off with the Grand first, then expanding to the Mini/18490 size?

I'm also in!

Edited to add - I'm a little slow - I see my fellow Reonauts have asked the same question.

 

[canoeist]

I really hope this works. I have an 18490 that I really need more capacity in.
I guess all of my old round bottles could be used to give juice away

 

[oldbroad]

I'm also game! A hard vaping woman can never have enough juice.

Add myself to the list of peeps asking...which is kinda why I've taken this on...

This isn't something I'll personally be taking ownership of, I'm just putting my hand up to do the leg work...to get a mold fabricated will not be a cheap venture, and the reality is, from an economies of scale perspective the 6ml bottle is where you need to start as there may be a market for the "new" 10-11 ml square bottle outside Reoville...a market that could further finance the more "boutique" 5ml bottle mold/production

 

[dodari]

I could sure use the squares for both my Grands and my Minis. Fairly soon I hope.

Really do appreciate both the idea and your legwork!

I don't mean to pee in a bottle but...

I don't see how this works. The miracle of the squonk only occurs when you deform the shape of the bottle to decrease it's volume, in the process forcing the liquid to go elsewhere. (A completely flattened bottle would be the ultimate squonk.) If you maximize the size of the bottle while at the same time minimize the space in which it can be deformed - seems you would end up with the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve: a much larger volume of liquid that can not be made to go anywhere.

I'll step aside regarding the matter of: Did you ever notice how much harder it is to deform containers with right angles?

 

[fullsleeve]

im down for about 10 of these bad larrys

 

[scemmer]

I have given it some thought I will look into some square bottles .

I was thinking about selling my mini, but not if I can get more than 3ml in there!
