What is a good storage container for large amount of ejuice?

submitted about 10 years ago by cool_BUD

I've been making my own juice directly into 30ml bottles. This is a pain since I have to measure them all out. I want to make a lot in one container and pour it into small bottles, I think it'll be easier that way. So what are some good type of containers for this? I want to make maybe 200-300ml at a time. Amazon links would be great!

Mason jars

Second this. Pint jars are perfect for up to 420ml of juice and they are only about a dollar a piece.

Thriced. Mason Jars are perfect. Cheap and well-sealed.

Agreed! I use 250ml jars for 200ml batches.

Not quite 200-300mL, but I just mixed 120mL with plans to parcel out into 30mL as needed.

I just reused an old 120mL bottle (w/ dripper) that came from a previous e-liquid order.

This is precisely how I mix/store my liquid.... Test batches go in to 30ml glass for easy clean up/re-use...finalized recipes/ready juice go in to 8oz bottles, either these from OSDIY http://www.onestopdiyshop.com/8oz-natural-ldpe-soft-boston-round-w-black-twist-top-cap/

Or something like these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OZLSYYY/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1436120262&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=plastic+condiment+bottles&dpPl=1&dpID=31y0rvyJJIL&ref=plSrch

I mix the large batch in a 500ml beaker then mix it with a Dremel tool. The liquid volume increases due to aeration, so you will have to let it sit/settle before pouring or your 240ml batch will look more like 300ml.

Me and the mrs both vape, so having a good bit on hand is helpful...plus I do small time sales, just fill a 30ml from one of those....easy money.

Is storing in plastic bad in any kind of way? Esp for a long time?

Nah. LDPE and HDPE (the squeezable plastics) both have really good chemical resistance. PET is another type sometimes used. It isn't as soft as LDPE/HDPE but not as hard as other plastics. It also has good chemical resistance.

Just google those three plastic types and read up on them. Lots of info out there.

From TFA:

>The plastic that we ship our larger sizes in ( 4 ounces and above), is HDPE plastic, which is very resistant to interaction with the flavors. but even with HDPE plastic, I really wouldn't recommend storing them for longer than a month or so.. It's much better to store things long-term in glass.

I reuse bottles. The flanking ones are 120 ml's from earlier purchases, the middle is a 370 ml bottle from maple syrup. http://imgur.com/tMHlYvh

You use semantic versioning. I thought I was the only one.

Helps me keep track. V1 was found here, 1.5 is tweaked. I have a V2 but it's based around V2 ingredients, namely the custard and Fr. Vanilla. I always go back to V1 or 1.5 though.

I am also interested in this. The largest I can find is 30ml.

I bought a vacuum cap for jars. It fits all sorts of jar sizes and lets me suck the air out before storage.

Fantastic for nicotine, too.

Brand name is FoodSaver and I have the vacuum appliance since I sous vide.

I get bottles of "French lemonade" from a place near me that comes in 1l bottles with soft plastic stoppers. I get an awesome drink, then sanitize the bottles to use for large batches. :)

I just use a 120mL boston round bottle with a glass pipette and fill my tanks directly from it. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/CLEAR-Boston-Round-Bottle-Dropper/dp/B00J9NOURI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1436125865&sr=8-7&keywords=4+oz+boston+round
