Nice. But do you realise there is a juice Vapour Chef? If you google your name, theirs comes up. Something to consider. :)

Too late, he's already got his website address on the labels :)

Yeah, I realised that. AFTER I had done the design and came up with the name. I'm not too concerned though. I very much doubt I will ever sell this juice to the public. The name is different even if it's the slightest. I'm also from Scotland in the UK where we have a company called Chef's Vapour too which I actually buy most of my concentrates from.

:) No worries then dubz. I was more going from the googling perspective ie marketing than any legal concern.

If you're not planning on selling to the public, why do you have your website printed on the labels?

damn those look super profefssional! Now you can sell a 30ml bottle for $20! Question, is there a reason why you used pet instead of ldpe or hdpe? I trying to figure out the best plastic for ejuice.

Thanks a lot, man! Nah, no reason. I probably haven't done enough research on plastics if I'm totally honest. Purely went for aesthetics. My first small batch I used 30 ml bottles with glass droppers. This time I've went for 50ml plastics using eyelid dropper lids for convenience. I definitely need to do some more looking into different plastic types though.

Softer plastics can give juice a "plasticky" flavor if stored in them long-term. PET is better for non-transference of plastic into liquid, but are harder to squeeze. I'd say, if you are selling, I'd go for the PET, as the taste of the liquid will not change.

oh another question. How did you get those labels to look so professional? Did you make the labels & design them yourself, or did you farm them out?

I made the labels completely by myself using Photoshop and illustrator. If I'm honest the hardest part was making the labels in the correct size for the bottles. A lot of trial and error. I used Vistaprint for getting the labels printed. Only ordered 10 of each (my 3 favourite recipes I've discovered in the last couple of months since I got into DIY).

Can't wait to throw my labels on my bottles after seeing this. Just fine tuning them up in Photoshop and waiting to mix up about 500ml

Super professional!

Are the bottles tough to squeeze?

2 points

They're not too tough. Still easy enough to get the juice out (allllllrighhhht) Just went through my first bottle though and there's marks left on the plastic. So not very durable.

Yeah that plastic hazes pretty easily.

Still looking professional and sellable for sure!

Thanks! I also made the mistake with the labels saying they were 50/50. I made a previous thread on here asking why most people tend to use 70/30 in favour of VG. Finding it a much more satisfying and smoother vape, so I don't think I'm going to change!

Nice bottles! Where do you get them?

I got the bottles from APCpure in the UK. If I'm honest they're not the best. I had a problem with the lids not staying on once sealed.
