Alternative to Chubby Gorilla 30ml - $0.45 per, in USA from Lightning Vapes
submitted over 9 years ago by DrumsIntoSpace

There was a blast of Chubby Gorilla unicorn bottle discussion last month. After buying some CG bottles to carry around a year or so ago, the hype talk had me wanting to revisit the wide-mouth-unicorn-promised-land, this time in bulk for DIY projects.

Lightning Vapes has really nice, wide mouth 30ml unicorn bottles at $45 for 100.

I was not able to find CG close to that price, even buying 1000 at a time. The LV wide mouth unicorns have a REALLY wide mouth, decent flex to the plastic and a good tip/closure. Give them a try if you were looking for unbranded/cheaper bottles.

Edit:

I paid $37.35 shipped for my batch.

Heartland Vapes and 510 Connection (Amazon) bottles and most others have an 8mm opening, the LV/Chub 30s have a 12mm opening (http://imgur.com/sQnX0lF)

Thanks!

For anyone confused, the HL bottles are the top of the picture (I recognize the tips, they use those on their other bottles).

How is the nic from them? I've been getting from wizard labs but am almost out.

I pulled it out of the freezer a few days ago. It was clear and didn't seem to impart any harshness to the few batches I've made with it. I transferred it into an empty VapersTek bottle that has a Yorker spout. It's already turning pink. In contrast I've always left my VapersTek nic on my desk and it stays clear until I finish it. Pink nic can be fine but I'll probably go back to VapersTek unless the bottle of CarolinaXtract I have waiting in the freezer turns out to be as impressive as everyone says. WL nic is probably my least favorite.

i never got a chance to try the Chubby Gorilla bottles but I did come across these on amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/30mL-Unicorn-LDPE-Plastic-Bottle/dp/B015VGPKYS?ie=UTF8&keywords=30ml%20unicorn&qid=1462224293&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2

i ordered a 50pk and the mouth is wide enough to fill from a bottle with a twist cap. i haven't experienced any blowout either, and the cap is child resistant if it's a concern.

The tops of these are the same as my regular 30ml. Basically the same as Gremlin uses for everything. High quality stuff overall IMO.

I have purchased bottles from that seller and have been happy. The LV version has a much wider top opening, so I can pour from a twist top, or open neck bottles without any problem. You can get them for less than $45 using the LV code so that's why I went with them - cheaper, easier to fill, and LV ships quick/free. LV tops are not child resistant.

The CG 15ml are ideal for pocketing a bottle of juice, they're the size of a sharpie. The 30mls on the other hand are about the same size as a mech + rda.

the ones from Amazon i ordered are about the size of a sharpie at 30mls. I'll have to check and see how the CG bottles at 30mls are. Mech+Rda kind of big for just 30mls. now I'm intrigued.

15ml CG vs 30ml Regular Unicorn vs 30ml LV vs SMPL + Stumpy: http://imgur.com/SdaRVJF

Sharpie Chisel Tip would be the size we are talking. The 15s are more like the Fine Tip.

I'll have to try these out. I get Chubby Gorilla bottles from Nicotine River for $0.55 a bottle when buying in lots of 100. They don't get much cheaper buying in higher volume though.

I just ordered a five pack of 50ml wide mouth unicorn bottles from FT.

by DrumsIntoSpaceover 9 years ago

Cool. Let's see a link? 50ml sounds like it would be too big to carry around, at that point I'd opt for a 60ml boston round w a twist for filling.

this is what i found for 50ml unicorn bottles. I would like a link for the wide mouth mentioned aswell. Is FT fasttech? if so I couldn't find 50ml unicorn bottles there. http://rttoner.en.alibaba.com/product/60421713908-218230670/15ml_30ml_50ml_unicorn_bottles_unicorn_plastic_dropper_bottle.html#!

Meh. $0.63 per bottle. Not worth the wait from SlowTech.

There are chubby gorillas on ebay for 0.48 per bottle if you buy 100

You can get a lot of 100 for $48 from an authorized dealer on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CHUBBY-GORILLA-SIGNATURE-UNICORN-BOTTLES-15ML-30ML-BOTTLE-LIQUID-JUICE-LOT-/172103424467?var=&hash=item281229d9d3:m:mvrYbtR9I4jnwfZDsjT07Tg

They get cheaper as you order more.

Even at 1000, that listing comes to $0.45 per; LV ended up being $0.38 per. I like the gorilla logo, but I really don't care about the branding/authenticity since I'm slinging juice not bottles. The wide mouth is the most important part, then price. At any rate, thanks for the heads up!

Right on. I didn't see that you got the price down to $37. That's a great deal.

I have a ton of the 510 Connection bottles right now, but I'll save that LV recommendation for my next order. Thanks for the info!
