Karma any chance of moving this conversation to its own thread? And having a clean up

cheers

I can see how the thread has diverged a bit from your lab but I do think that it's helping people and it isn't totally off topic.  We are all Pioneers in the Vaping/Mixing world and are all helping and encouraging each other

If you want to keep the thread entirely about your personal mixing journey you could start a Blog perhaps in the Blog Board in Members only?  I don't think that would be quite as helpful to others though

Bit off topic, I know, but sometimes when a thread diverges it can make for a more interesting/entertaining read than the original..

Steve (VapeStorm) if you ain't already done so, don't forget to put some clear sellotape on them syringe markings as they come off in no time.

I use the good branded sellotape and you would not even no there is tape on them and that they have even been used: www.wilko.com/glue-adhesives-and-correction/sellotape-super-clear-tape-24mmx50m/invt/0299843?VBMST=sellotape

Thanks for that reminder Shiny, been meaning to do it for ages, all done now!

Ive got the 10s 30s and a couple of 50s

steve I'm going to order some glass bottles from that site but i'm a bit unsure about which tops to get. Looks like you have the pipette type from your pic...?

How are these for filling up a tank from? I'm toying with the idea of just getting the standard black plastic ones and using a syringe for filling purposes. 

I see they also have some plastic caps that come with a dropper inside but i'm unsure how useful these would be on a glass bottle since you obviously can't squeeze it to help the liquid out like with usual plastic bottles.

Any advice would be gratefully recieved

[Steve (VapeStorm)]

They are the pipettes Can be a bit fiddly depending on the type of tank, I also use my syringes to fill so no probs

[Steve (VapeStorm)]

The dropper bottles I have no idea about. My theory is they are for aromatic oils which could just be shook out but I think eliquid would be far too thick

Thanks steve think i'll just stick to the standard caps for now although the pipettes do look very nice. I can see it being a bit messy and wasteful if you have to pull the pipette out and place it somewhere so you can get a syringe in. Maybe i'll put one or two in my order to see what they like since only cheap.

Looks like you did your research, was this site the cheapest you found for glass bottles?

[Steve (VapeStorm)]

Was recommended by Perpetua along with another site that I can't remember

[sonicflowjoe]

I've placed an order now. Thanks for your help

I use those blue bottles in 100ml size when mixing for customers,they were a good price and look bob on.

[sonicflowjoe]

I noticed they do coloured bottles in plastic too. But look like they might not be squeezy so perhaps not ideal. Saying that glass isn't very squeezy either but it does look good...

[Perpetua]

I *think* Ampulla was probably the other site I suggested Steve (VapeStorm) . . . . lots of us have used them.

www.ampulla.co.uk/

The glass dropper bottles would be fine for eliquid sonicflowjoe, you'll find a number of the ' boutique ' eliquid Vendors supply their juice in them, in all honesty I find them more of a pest as Steve says the droppers are rather thick for filling most tanks. Plus if you've tendency for knocking things over, then they can end up being rather wasteful.

[Super-Shiny]

Ain't checked lately but i think these are the cheapest when it comes to price and delivery speed:

www.colouredbottles.co.uk/store/home.php?cat=526

[Super-Shiny]

Forgot to add, i normally go for these:

15ml: www.colouredbottles.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=16371&cat=526&page=1
Cap: www.colouredbottles.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=20340&cat=526&page=1

Ampulla delivery times are quite bad considering how much you pay

I ended up getting 15 blue glass bottles in a selection of sizes but went for the standard black plastic caps. Did get a couple of pipette caps as well to try out.
