Flavor storage/usage, best option for bottles without drip tips.

submitted over 8 years ago by RandallFlagg1

So I began over a year a go with DIY and started with TPA/WL and have stayed with them till this past weekend when I ordered from BCF and now I know what I was missing! All of those bottles from BCF came with dripper tips and my DIY life has never been better, it's so much better than using a handful of pipettes.

So all that being said, for those of you who order from Wizard Labs do you transfer liquids into other bottles or go through pipettes like crazy? I can't seem to use those twist top caps as a ton of liquid stays in them and I don't want to use that portion for my mixing.

I found an old thread (yes I searched for a bit) that linked to ebay for these and I am considering buying them and transferring but that $40 could buy a lot of pipettes, plus I would need to label them all.

The TPA glass bottles seem to fit dropper lids perfectly has anyone found any that fit these bottles? That could be another option.

I will chime in to say that I was also disappointed with the annoying glass vials and I won't be ordering from them again--- for that reason, and because BCF has won me over.

Every time I've looked at their website, multiple items I need are out-of-stock, even things I would consider staples. I just went to their website to try again.... typed in CAP Sweet Mango, and it's out of stock. I just can't.

Honestly I bought a bunch of 8ml plastic bottles from Amazon for 10 bucks to house my WL samplers. I moved on after first order due to this. Nicotine River/Bull City Ftw.

I don't like bullcity mainly because the PET bottles they use for 15mil and 30mils make me feel like my hand is going to break from squeezing them

They're sturdy enough if you only apply enough pressure to get liquid out lol. When making large batches, just squeeze in bursts instead of holding it firm if you're worried about their durability.

After 2 orders and all using glass , I moved on. Even real flavors seemed to get the message about their glass bottles as my last batch had more plastic dropper bottles than glass. Thank god

Anything that comes without a tip I just pour it into a measuring cup and then pour that into a unicorn bottle.

I had to order a ton of dropper bottles and transferred everything that didn't have a dropper over to them. It was a bitch to do this but worth it in the long-run. 15mls with eye dropper tips and 30ml cylinders with twist top caps. When I run low on those flavors and get more I'll just refill those same bottles.

I think this is what I will end up doing when I get close to the end of my pipettes.

I use 1, 5, and 10ml industrial syringes to mix my juice. I actually dislike the dropper bottles. I prefer the large 4oz or glass WL bottles

Whoa, after discovering pipettes were so cheap syringes went in the trash, you should really try them, it cuts down on cleanup and flavor contamination. But then again you seem to be the only one that likes the glass bottles, are you mixing by weight?

I mix by volume, I have all my syringes marked by what goes into them in permanent marker, and then covered in clear tape
