Good call, but as FACE MEAT mentioned it should be easier to squonk...we currently force juice up the pipe by mashing the bottle into the confines of the space...once there is no more room for the bottle to deform into it has no other option but to deflate (aka, push up the juice) however if the bottle/juice is already occupying the space...
As far as the splitting goes, ya, there is a seam on these bottles, I wondered that myself. I googled the injection mold process and it turns out the seam is not what we'd think, it's actually the mold edge...2 halves of the mold are brought together, a dribble of liquid LDPE gooped around a syringe needle type thing is lowered into the mold...once lowered in air is pumped into the dribble, blowing it up inside the mold...it cools then the mold halves pull apart and voila, bottle (keeping in mind that a machine is doing this at like 1000/min.)...long story short, there really shouldn't be any weak spot to split on.

Oh man!...I forgot about Pinky and the Brain...brilliant...but I was actually thinking...

I would rather see rob spending his time on new design ideas then spending it on finding new bottle shapes...
I can see how this may seem like a waste of time but I've modded more than my share of Rob's hardware and having a square bottle imo would open up some significant design possibilities... just saying of course...
Sent using a soup can and a piece of string
I love his design! It would be marvelous to find a bottle shape so that the minis could hold a little more
Yeah but square bottles don't roll as well. I would prefer square batteries that just fit in the Grand perfectly.
Yep square batteries would be nice . Unfortunately the world is in love with the tube
I'm refilling twice a day with the 6 ml bottles, definitely down for some square bottles. Don't forget to get a quote for square bottles to fit the 26650 Grands
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...
Required bottle shape: Square (rectangular?) We need an LDPE bottle where the outside dimensions need 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 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?
Comments? Adds?

perhaps add something about being flexible, squeezable? Most likely would be anyway but you know assumptions.
Good calls...v1.1

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.
