Where to Buy Dropper Bottles

[kiwikid]

I bought some amber glass bottles with a dropper lid, problem is the pipette doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle. I have been trying to find some that have the bent tip that will "sit" at the bottom but not having any luck.
Main reason for wanting this is my hubby is a long haul truck driver, has limited access to running water sometimes to rinse transfer pipettes off and doesn't want to leave them lying around with juice in them. He needs bottles with droppers that actually reach all the juice without having to tip the bottle up. I really want him to quit the analogues and am doing all I can to make sure this happens.
Would appreciate any advice and help

I know exactly what you mean, and I don't understand why many droppers come this way. Here's a list of some great places. Hopefully, one will have what you're looking for. I'll keep my eyes open, too.

Thank you so very much RocketPuppy, that list will keep me busy for a while.

Hey Kiwi,

What size bottles do you already have? This way, I can look for just the dropper parts.

This place has a variety of lengths dependent on what size your bottle is.

I've been afraid to use the rubber top droppers as I've had some melt while making herbal extracts.
They were just sitting in the bottles, tight of course. (was stored with the dropper tops on)

Just keep an eye on them, they'll really mess up the taste buds...
I know Ripe Banana flavoring will melt the rubber in a syringe.

Thanks for that. I didn't even realize they were plastic. Ignore Freund.

I have 30ml glass bottles, boston round, with 20-400 threading.

Oh no, that doesn't sound good. The main reason for the glass bottles in the first place was that we weren't sure about plastic bottles. Concerns are that hubby is out on the road for up to 4 weeks and we had noticed that the juice had discoloured the plastic bottles and he said that it felt like he had a plastic taste when he vaped.

Glass bottles are good if you don't leave the dropper top on.
Leave the regular cap on, and only use glass dropper when needed.

 

[kiwikid]

Heabob, I agree with leaving the regular cap on after reviewing some of the e juices that he likes, but in my hubbys case it is a really messy ordeal for him to use a separate dropper and try and find the means to clean it while he is on the road.

My next thoughts for his juice is: as long as the bottles are ldpe or hdpe, would they be ok for him to use for his e juice? He is out for anywhere between 2 to 6 weeks at a time and I know the reason he complained about the plastic taste was because the bottles his juice came in were el cheapos, didnt even have a number on them. Really what we need is a way to store his e juice while he is on the road and have a no mess no fuss way to use them to fill his tank without having to wash or rinse something off.

These seem pretty pricey, but they have varying lengths in glass droppers.

Good Morn RocketPuppy
I have looked at US plastics before, in fact have purchased my glass bottles from them and am very pleased with them overall. Right now I am waiting on a response from a company that makes the bent tip droppers in regards to pricing and quantities, will let you know what they say.

 

[RocketPuppy]

Definitely let me know because I'd be interested in them too.

If I can't get every last drop out of my 30ml cobalt blue glass dropper bottles (mostly old repurposed Halo bottles). I see 2 options:
1. If you're into steeping, you can mix on top of what's left (seed steeping)
2. I use a KFL+ Clone that I fill from the top. I just pour the last little bit in that the dropper doesn't reach (that's the option I use)

Cheers,
Steve

Not glass but they have built in removable dropper tops...

No worries about breakage either.

kiwikid just a thought if worried about the rubber top breaking down and or cleaning if he used a bottle with a polycone top for ejuice and a 2nd bottle with a dripper top filled with distilled water he could rinse the dripper top after filling his tank or what ever device he uses , and just to throw in the list of vendors for bottles some vendors really get ya on shipping when large bottles are ordered i found this site to be pretty good but i dont think they sell just the tops you could email them and let me know for future purchase http://www.sunburstbottle.com/

Ok, got my response. " $165.00/thousand (2,000/carton)". The minimum purchase is a carton. So unless you have a group who want to join in to purchase it is a tad spendy. Tis a pity really , makes them around 8cents each or so, but I definitely do not need 2000 of them.

They do not sell the droppers separately. I did buy a few from US Plastics, good price too but the main issue was and still is that the pipette doesn't reach all the way to the bottom of the bottles, thats why I had the thought of the bent tip droppers. Very hard to find at a reasonable price.

Those look good, also saw that they have blunt needle tip / adapter as well and they fit 15ml and 20ml bottles. Am going to order a couple as well as 2 of the needle tips and let hubby use them for a couple of weeks. At this stage it looks like a better option for him, at least until we can find something better.
