Hey guys, anybody use medicine bottles for steeping?
I have 100ml amber glass bottles from ampulla that I store my NIC in, when the nic is all gone I clean them out then use for steeping but today when doing up the lid on some steeping juice the lid just fell to pieces! Very disappointing! So wondering what glass bottles people steep in and if any of you have bought medicine style bottles and had luck with them lasting longer, this is only the second time I used this bottle for steeping so a bit shit really, don't know what I'd do if a lid cracked on a 100ml bottle of NIC!
I've been eyeing up these https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/263589218420
 
I use these 1l ones from Baldwins. The wide mouth makes them perfect for dumping VG etc into them without fear of spillage. Might be a bit large for some.

I use coffee jars and jam jars.

Sometimes the lids don't seal perfectly so I put some clingfilm over the top before putting the lid on.

I always put cling film over the top too. Protects the lid insert from picking up juice that can't be properly cleaned and taints the bottle except for use with the same juice.
