FA bottles are shit.
submitted about 10 years ago by spaceghost_n_moltar

ive seen a few pics of FA bottles shattering at the threaded portion. I have about a dozen 10ml FA bottles and so far 1 is completely broken at the threaded part, almost all of the others are splintered and leaky as hell. ive already ordered a few dozen 10ml bottles for sampling and now for re-bottling my FA flavors. i guess im just bitching a little bit, but it really pisses me off that i pay $3/10ml bottle, witch is some of the most expensive flavorings, only to have it leak all over.

TL;DR FA bottles are shit.

I buy FA from EliquidMart. (I know there was an issue recently but....) They use the softer bottles and I've never had one break down/fall apart/etc. Those hard plastic bottles are no good. I have no idea why flavoring companies use them.

HDPE bottles are more chemically resistant.

You mentioned an issue with eliquidmart recently? What was the issue? I just recently ordered some flavors from them, is there anything I need to worry about?

As long as they didn't mess up your order, and as long as u didn't order a 4oz bottle of something that they don't actually have in stock, then you should be fine. I've ordered from them a half dozen times now, and time before last it took them a month to correct my order.

Someone on here had a problem with an order from them recently. It took a while to process and when it was sent it was missing a key item... and they only told the person about the missing flavor AFTER the order was shipped. It was pretty shitty... I have personally only had a minor problem with them and they corrected it.

Yep, I feel your pain. I just had a new bottle of Bergamot crumble on me not more than 10 seconds after taking the damn thing out of the box. I've had a few others that did not completely take a shit, but still cracked or chipped as a result of just being opened.

Ecig Express seems to use their own bottles even if you order 10mL. They are different from the BCV bottles. Maybe try them?

In any case, I've never had problems with either type of bottle breaking or cracking.

ECX has sent me lots of bottles that have broken off at the threading , i hate that they rebottle stuff also because it's always a few ml short of full.

Are you referring to the ones with the blue flip tops? I just got some of those for the first time in my last bull city vapor order. Those caps suck. I preferred the regular orange screw-on type. My FA-Joy bottle was leaking and I can still smell the stench of it in my kitchen. They were a bitch to open and I can tell that plastic hinge is going break at any moment now.

I agree I ordered some the other day and they leaked in the bag they sent it in.
