Suggestions to make large bottle eLiquids more portable.

[indypilotcfi]

Hey everyone! So, I'm starting to settle down one some of my favorite flavors and want to buy larger bottles because of the cost savings. I use one of those EVOD cases that looks like a sun-glass case. Problem is, I can comfortably put only 3 10ml bottles in it but not much more. 15ml bottles are even a little tight.

What do you guys suggest using?
Should I just get some 10ml eye dropper bottles and fill those up from the larger bottles?
Should I probably look at getting glass ones so I can reuse them with different flavors?

LOL get a bigger case. Trust me, before you know it your gonna need one. I just got a travel cigar case fits about 20 clearos, extra 18650 batts, ego batts, couple extra heads, q-tips.........

Get between 15ml & 60ml needle tips, just make sure not to lose the cap... They don't sell those separately. Here's a good source if you're interested...

I'd probably recommend splitting bigger bottles down into smaller ones, and yeah Guambred's right, bigger case too

They sell 10ml empty bottles as well. But save the empties you already have and you can use those too. Just get a really small funnel.

When just going to work I now take 3 mods with me, all with rba tank systems, so have about 15 ml of vapeable juice while at work. I get 20 minute breaks every 80 minutes I work, so usually use each one twice. When travelling, will take a charger, and batteries, and backup juice in 50 ml squeeze bottles. Have a dc cord so can even charge while on the road.

Yep, just save up the old, little bottles. If you soak them in hot water (make a smidge of baking soda if they're strong flavor) several hours or overnight, the smell will dissipate. I'm lazier than that, though. I just give them a quick wash, and refill with similar flavor profiles. I don't notice a difference.

I was thinking about that but all of the ones I have are the plastic ones that don't look like they can easily be refilled or washed out.

While I do agree with a larger case, I have a craft case that I keep everything in. I like this little EVOD case which I can stuff enough supplies in for weekends away from home. Plus, I can fit it in my wifes purse without her noticing .

Little hint: the drip tips on those little plastic bottles pulls off, so you can clean it and refill much easier (pull of dropper tip, squirt in more juice from other bottle, no funnel or syringe needed). I didn't notice that at first, myself. Makes cleaning no different than cleaning out the eyedropper and bottle of the same size in glass. Otherwise, a glass bottle or two is nice to have, as well. I keep a particularly "aromatic" anise oil based juice in one of those. Otherwise, in plastic, it reeks up whatever it's store in.

Wow, I did not know they came off. Now I feel dumb thinking "wow that would take a LONG time to fill up with a needle syringe through that little hole".

I can at least use the small ones to fill up from larger bottles of the same flavor. I'll probably still pick up some glass ones though.

Easy way to get the drip tip off the bottles: Use the cap. Put the cap on the end of the drip tip and push to the side. Pops the little buggers off the bottle.

I recycle those little sample bottles for carry along use. 3-5ml will get you through the day if you get stuck and can't come home for some reason. I carry a filled carto with the condom seals on the ends, along with an extra head for my atomizer, and a charged battery. That goes in a plastic battery box that usually holds two batts. The sample bottle goes in my pocket or the console.

I find that I only need the battery most of the time. My 5ml Aspire Nautilus tank gets me through the day.

As for larger storage, Harbor Freight sells this box for $7.99 and others for home or carry storage. It's surprising how much stuff it will hold. 50ml bottles fit in the compartments.

Haha! That's how I accidentally found out the dropper tip is removable! Pulled off the cap in a wonky fashion, dripper came off with it. It's okay, OP! We've all (well that's what I tell myself to feel better about my derp moments) been there.
