Before I start to mix ??

[troglet]

How do
I've received me stuff so I can start me first mix, proper excited . Just a quick question do i need to sterilise the bottle n the likes? Its all new, I bought a basic starter kit x

Bottles will be clean can always rinse with vodka or cool boiled water.

I sterilised mine, but they did come all the way from China.

It never hurts to sterilise, just make sure you rinse & dry them after

I haven't started yet but baby bottle sterilisers cost nothing look on freecycle people are giving them away

[spaniel]

I don't sterilise either.
I use these , tip out contents, use, then throw them out when empty.
Cheap and cheerful that's me

I always sterilize my bottles I wash them in warm soapy water then leave them overnight in a Milton solution. Drain then leave on kitchen roll for the day. I then put them in an airtight tin lined with kitchen roll. This is for first use. Once I have used them I wash them then put in the ultrasonic with half a cap of Milton's. But that's just me and maybe overkill but I'd rather be safe. I also ultrasonic my tanks once a week all 12 of them.

Gosh, never thought of all that. I've saved bottles from bought juice, washed and dried them and they are chucked in a bowl waiting to be filled again.

Me to, but I just use one flavour and mix 250 ml at a time as that's the size of my biggest measuring cylinders, I have two so can stretch to 500 ml.  I just got 250 ml fo flavouring and will mix 60 ml with nic base to make 40 mg (500 ml) and mix the rest to make 0 mg. Then I can easily change my nic level EG 3:1 = 10 mg, 2:1 = 20 mg and its well steeped.

Me neither . . . but then I'm a mucky tart.

A quick rinse and if a bottle still looks a bit rabid, I bin it.

thanks for the advice x

After washing and ultrasound I just chuck my bottles in the microwave with a cup of cold water. Once the water boils anything organic (bacteria) will be dead and gone. Use straight from the microwave.

Oo-er, I didn't bother sterlising mine when I first started mixing maybe that's why I've got the dreaded lurgy now

Obviously I do wash them out in between mixes now, I soak them first with a little washing up liquid for a day, then I give them a good wash in a bowl of washing up liquid and a damn good rinse with plain water to get the soap out and leave to dry overnight.

I've never sterlised any of the little bottles. The only sterilising I've done is the glass bottles I've stored nicotine and VG in, in the freezer when I got a litre of both.
