I found this out just now

submitted over 9 years ago by Encephalopathicus

I just poured a fresh, small bottle of TPA´s Banana Cream into an empty, small Capella Bottle and it was not as full as other unopened Cap Bottles. Why am I wondered? Because the Cap Bottles should be 13ml and the TPA Bottles should be 15ml. Has anyone experienced something like this too? Who fools me? Is TPA not really giving us 15ml or is Cap giving us more then 15?

Are you asking us how to measure how many milliliters of liquid you have? Because that seems easy to check on your own.

Make sure your bottle sizes are accurate. With (finished) juices a lot of manufacturer's use bottles that are larger than what they sell so they don't have to fill it to the brim. For example a 30 ml bottle may actually be 32 if filled to the top.

Find the specific gravity of each flavour & weigh them to find out.

I always considered TFA small bottles 10 ml , Cap is supposed to be 13 ml.

I ve weighed some cap and tpa bottles and it seems like cap gives us 2-3 ml for free

Was it a glass or plastic TFA Banana Cream bottle?

Interesting, I've only had one glass TFA bottle but it was 15ml for sure; seems CAP might be hooking it up! How much room was left when dumping the TFA bottle in to the CAP bottle?

TFA doesn't sell 15mL bottles; they sell 4mL, 30mL, and bulk sizes. The vendor packages gallon or large bottles into 15mL bottles. TFA didn't short you, the vendor may have. Or CAP just overfills their bottles to prevent people from complaining.

On a separate note, who the fuck prefers CAP bottles to literally anything else besides new FA bottles?

In Europe we have mostly 15ml tpa bottles and all the vendors sell them in the same bottle

Edit: I prefer the cap bottles for easier dosage since i mix with a scale. But the tpa glass bottles sure look nice and i use them to pre mix some recipes

They rebottle TFA into 15mL glass? That's really odd.

So i just visited the official tpa Website and they are clearly offering 15ml bottles.

I wouldn't run right out and blame TFA- do you order many from that vendor? Usually DIY companies buy in bulk and repackage-maybe yours was done on a Monday- Ive had wild discrepancies... Also when rebottling yourself- lay the closed bottle upside down for a few minutes-then check the cap- you'd be surprised how small 1 ml is-it can easily stick to the sides or cap-

I don´t really care, I got it from the B&M I recently started working at and i know for fact that we get it driectly from TPA. Just wanted to know if others experienced something like this too.
