Which are the best bottles for eliquid?

[j3suss]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know what empty bottles for DIY you use.

I have tried many types, for example the Chuby Gorilla bottles and the unicorn bottles but for example in the case of the Chubby Gorilla they are made of hard plastic and to recharge them the lid is very hard. In the case of the unicorn, the plug ends up staining with eliquid and ends staining.

What are the best bottles that do not stain when you spend to the last drop?

Thank you!!

Hi J,

I settled on 120ml chubby gorillas.
buy a spout/top remover or use a blade to get the tops off.
I get about 15-20 refills from the clear/black bottles before the sides crack from squeezing. (10-12 months use average)

@j3suss - For my DIY eliquids I use a variety of sizes of the plain, regular shaped, LDPE or PP, easy-squeeze bottles with the fine pointed tip and screw on cap. They're the ones that are not clear...like the PET bottles are. The LDPE and PP are translucent or sort of cloudy looking. I buy mostly the 30mL and 50ml, along with a smaller quantity of the 100mL for use at home. I also have 10mL and 20mL ones that I use when I'm going out. I've never had any of them...crack, split, or stain, even with being refilled and used over and over again.

Just use a butter knife to get the cap/spout off.
For small tester batches, I use "mini-bar" bottles. $1 for a 50 ml plastic bottle and vodka. I use some of the vodka for cleaning RTAs (and sometimes try to get a bit more life out of drop-in coils) Of course, I drink the rest of the vodka My friend likes the flavored ones (99 bananas, ect) and I tell him "don't throw that away... I can use those" so get a few extras for free.

I recently switched to 60ml LDPE chubby gorilla bottles. I used different colours for different mixes. And being ldpe they are extremely easy to squeeze, especially when you are filling 8ml squonk bottles

The only downside is they have a smaller mouth, compared to PET CG bottles. But I've been able to mix straight into the bottle no problem - I just pour a bit slower than I was.

I always heard glass is best.

I would recommend:
15 ml Amber Glass Euro-Dropper Bottles with CRC/Tamper Evident Silicon Bulb Pipette
Silicone bulb and glass for longest lasting and near stain free materials.
