Have they changed recently?
I've ordered from them quite a few times, and depending on the flavor,
they came in either a small glass vial or a plastic bottle with a dropper lid.

I'd have to look again to see which flavors I ordered that came in the plastic.

Just lettin ya guys/gals know. I received a TON of flavors from them and not one dropper!

Been using pipettes to hold me over, but accuracy is down the toilet.

Great prices and great service there, i just wish their flavors came with a way to measure.

Do you have any glass droppers? I keep a few on hand for this type of incident.

The last order I did with them All the Flavoring came in Glass Vials.

For me it was no big deal because I bought about 2 Dozen 10ml Glass Dropper Bottles when I got into DIY. I wanted all my Flavoring to be stored in Glass.

I am actually glad. I don't want to be tempted to use drops. I have 1ml syringes waiting.

Nothing wrong with using Drops. And Drops can Actually be Very Accurate.

The Key is to use the same size Dropper for a Given Recipe. That or use a Graduated Cylinder and a "Ladder" Recipe.

When you guys are using syringes, do you have say 5 different syringes for 5 flavors??

Seems like a lot of syringes to keep track of?

A different syringe for each flavor?

That's why using Drops and a Graduated Cyclinder makes sense. At least to me.

Only one thing to wash.

I think you having a glass dropper gives an edge also. For me, I am too new to get loose :)

Yeah... Half of the Battle with most things is having the Right Tools for the Job.

When I first started DIY it was a Complet Train Wreck. A sink full of things to Wash to make a 10ml recipe. And Seemed like it took Forever to make things.

buy having everything in Dropper Bottles and using a Graduated Cyclinder it takes me about 5 minutes to whip one of my Tastyfinger Varient Masterpieces.

LOL

And I appreciate the train wrecks of the past for me to learn from :D It takes me longer to put away my flavors and PG/VG/nic than it does to wash my three syringes.

Zoid, where did you get the dropper bottles?

I got them from TPA (The Perfumer's Apprentice)

I e-Mailed Linda and asked if she had any Bottles with Dropper that were Bigger than 4ml that had Dropper Tops. She said she had some 8ml ones and I bought a dozen or so.

I can't seem to find them now but I did find these.

Perfumers Apprentice - 4ml Glass bottles w/caps & droppers

You might send her an e-Mail. It is easy to find things to buy there Flavor Wise and Linda and All the other Gals are about as Nice as it gets.

That's Half the Fun of DIY for me. Is finding Oraganizer Boxes for Flavors or a Drying Rack on e-Bay for Test Tubes or what ever.

I like finding all the other stuff that goes with DIY besides the Liquids.

I don't intend to sell my juices, so an extra drop or two of this or that doesn't make much difference to me. I mix single flavors with PG/VG/Nic with syringes and pipettes and all of that, and then they get to steep by themselves in a box in my DIY Cabinet.

Then I eyeball them into small bottles while mixing them together. It's not very accurate, but I haven't made anything that I hated yet. :)

Thanks for the links and info everyone.

So, do the tpa flavors come in dropper bottles if I was to order direct from Linda? Or do dropper bottles need to be purchased with TPA flavorings?

The last time I ordered from Linda the Flavors came in a Glass Bottles with a Standard Lid and they included Dropper Lids also.

You might send her an e-Mail just to double check though.

I have a friend who is insulin dependent diabetic and I get tons of .5 ml syringes. Using plyers to pull the needle out. They hold almost nothing after you have squirted the flavors out that so I dont wash out between each flavor I use in a mix. I doubt if it even holds 1/2 of a drop after you empty it. Everyone interested in accuracy of their mixes should use .5 ml syringes. I only use bigger ones for much larger batches. These are great if you like to use the concentrated falvors like FA, ECX, and VZ.
