Bottles for DIY Liquids

[rugmuncher]

I've only been making my own liquids for about a month but I'd like to ask the most suitable method for storing.

I bought a small kit to start (bit of a waste of money because I've found I'm liking using scales better) and it came with a few 10ml and 50ml plastic bottles. I've also been reusing empty bottles that I've bought, used, and washed out. I've found the spouts (wrong word?) seem to wear out, I also have trouble removing them with small pliers which doesn't help their longevity.

What's the hives thought on bottle storage? I've read about glass bottles, are these better? Beginners question but how do you decant into your vape from glass if you can't squeeze it?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know that much about mixology but you should have a look at one of the cap removal tools for getting the spouts off, makes it so much easier so they will last longer than using pliers.

Didn't know there was such a thing, thank you.

I heard that glass bottles are better being more inert material than plastic. Also dark ones are better for long storage being less transparent and less sun light can get in and disassemble nicotine molecules. Personally I bought few 100ml glass ones and except for harder pouring from them (you cant squeeze them) are generally better for the reasons above.

Dark glass bottles are perfect for long term storage of juice, especially nicotine if your storing it in the fridge/freezer but normal vape bottles that pg and vg come in are fine for storage of that.
To be honest all my ingredients get used quite frequently so dont stay in the bottles for long.

Store ejuice in cool, dark cupboard & use PET bottles with spouts. Unless you're storing juice for a very long time no need for glass. If you do want to use glass bottles, either get the bulb drippers for direct use or, using a small funnel, syphon off into 30/50/60ml spouted PET bottles for day to day use.

I use glass not for long term storage as juice don't last 2 minutes but because I'm a cheap fuck and I can wash them out and reuse them for other mixes been using the same 10 500ml glass bottles for a year

Recycle PET bottles, none bought in 2 yrs. Buy Grolsch in the stopper bottle, kill 2 birds with one stone
