Best re-usable glass bottles that won't leak?

submitted about 10 years ago by My_mau5_died

I'm tired of thinking I can re-use a glass bottle at least once or twice to only discover that it soon turns into a leaky POS.

What bottles can I get that I can use 5+ times without leaking problems?

If you're buying bottles from an outlet, you're getting crappy bottles.

Good quality droppers and we'll made glass threads don't come cheap.

I order mine from Wizardlabs when I order my VG, nicotine, and flavors to avoid extra shipping cost. I'm willing to put more money into better bottles. The point of this post was to figure out exactly where to get those better bottles.

I now work with a local bottle supplier and I pay a hefty penny for it. If I have a dud, they replace it. So far the duds have been very very minimal.

Here's the downside: even the crappiest brand bottles are probably "only" 50% duds. So paying 50% more for quality bottles is breaking even. I have a box of 144 craptastic outlet bottles and as long as I mate the proper dropper to the proper bottle, there's no leaking. Just time wasted.

I'm an entrepreneur who comprehends business efficiency better than 99% out there. I don't see how anyone would guarantee a $0.60 bottle, ever. What's the point? It's a commodity item. If a customer called me to yell about buying 24 cheapie bottles, that phone call will cost me more than the profit on 50 orders.

If you have a bad bottle, toss it. What's your time worth?

These are the 30ml bottles I have had for quite a while, and never had any problems.

I have found that if I swap a child resistant dropper from another bottle onto the bottles I have bought it doesn't leak. Try buying ones with child resistant caps.

I got a bunch from packaging options direct. I haven't ordered droppers, only caps. So far, no complaints.
