So, I thought I'd be a smart mother fucker and store my VG in an empty(and extensively cleaned) wine bottle, using a liquor stopper cap(controlled pour stout.)
Let me tell you how big of a god damn mistake that was, at first it was great, I was part bartender part mixologist and I felt like a high roller.
Skip a day and I come to mix some new juices. Grab my bottle, tilt it at a 45 degree angle and all hell breaks loose. VG everywhere. Fucking everywhere. While vg is thick, it has the same properties of oil and soaked itself up under the cap and that shit flew off like your loose girlfriends panties.
After an hour and a half of crying and cleaning, I smartened up and picked up some condiment bottles from Walmart like the human sack of trash I am.
CONCLUSION: don't be like me, just invest in some plastic squeeze bottles ahead of time instead of trying to be a crafty Pinterest whore. Condiment bottles are a fantastic option. Wine bottles, not so much.
Good luck with those Walmart bottles. All of mine started to leak after a couple of days.
Same here. I still use them out of shame with a paper towel around the top to kind of limit the leaking, but will hopefully come across something better for a dollar or two soon.
Damn really? Fuck me hard, lesson not learned, I'll check out more sustainable options then lol

I paid about $4 for this. I'm sure the price will go back down when they're in stock. It has never leaked a drop.
Better option - hit a craft store for some cake-decorating bottles. Been using mine for several months, haven't leaked or cracked.
lots of water with a touch of soap dissolves VG making getting it out of carpet, clothes, or just simply getting it off a flat surface a hell of a lot easier. I may or may not have dropped a 4liter bottle of vg on my carpet once....
About 80 pennies for these
how well does VG flow through the twist caps? wish they had the yoker caps or whatever they are called with the red hats. even better a yorker style with a hat thats tethered.
Beware of the ones sold for cake decoration.
I believe they were brandnamed "Wilton". If you squeeze too hard the threads at the top will deform slightly. The result will be the equivalent of Niagara falls as the lid pops off.
Thank goodness I use the bowl that came with my scale to place the beakers in. It saved me from a really huge mess.
I laughed...so friggin' hard at this. I believe mostly because of the verbiage (I love it...btw)...but also because I initially used the cheap ass .97 cent condiment bottles from Walmart also. Those particular condiment bottles are scummy trash. Leaky, top popping off pieces of shit. I have since bought condiment bottles of a different brand from the local grocery store. Did they cost an arm and a leg...yes. Was it worth it? Yes. Anything is better than this...It was a Tuesday morning and being the procrastinator that I am...I was already running late and in a hurry. I was whipping up my fave 30ml of juice as I was rushing around the house getting ready for work that morning. I am forever tripping over the miniature horses as they feel the need to constantly be under my feet as I bustle about the house. Since Im already in a hurry, I squeeze the bottle of PG/VG mix into the 30ml, prolly a little harder than usual, in hopes it would come out faster, and it whole fackin' top comes off and 350mls of sticky, slimy disgusting gooey shit goes all over the counter, all down my arm, running down the front of the counter, onto the floor. At which point it gathers into a very large puddle. By the time I have gone across the kitchen to get a rag to attempt to wipe up the ginormous mess...the miniature horses have traipsed thru the puddle and now there are puppy paw prints the size of a polar bears paw all over the kitchen and onto the carpet. I did not have time for this. I kenneled both the pets and cleaned up the mess when I got home that evening. I also had to bathe the oversized dogs...in the shower, since I dont have a bathtub. The $10+ I spent on the new condiment bottles? I would do it again in a heartbeat. The first time.
