Stupid question. I just ordered a set of glass bottles to replace those made of plastic that I use since 2 years or so. I wonder if I will rinse them or not before cooking. Do you rinse them usually ?
Nope. Haven’t even thought about it honestly. Seems silly. I’m sure that the bottles the flavorings and all the rest of the things come in haven’t been prewashed.
I’m already doing extra work compared to ordering a bunch of juice online and just vaping it. Not gonna make more for myself.
That said, if it bothers you, wash them. No harm in it, as long as you let them dry completely before use.
Though.... I’d double check what your water quality is beforehand. Plenty of stuff could be in your water and then once it dries that residue will be in the bottle ;-P
It’s a never ending circle!
No. Why? I guess you could answer that by asking another question: The companies you're buying flavors, juice, VG, whatever from, do you think they clean out the thousands of thousands of bottles they have shipped to them before filling them with their product? Chances are no, they do not. So, you've probably already vaped plenty of whatever "residue" may come in a brand new bottle, so why worry about it now? To each their own, though.
This is a very defeatist attitude to best practice and hygiene...
I would frankly like to believe that these large, reputable companies are held to some sort of standard via testing and inspections, and that I'm not inhaling anything that could cause me damage.
And if the answer is unfortunately no, I'm still not just throwing my hands up and accepting my AliExpress bottles are sterile...
I feel like this is the equivalent of enthusiastically vaping FW Yellow Cake all day at 150w 20% because 'its better than smoking'
I remember reading that commercial juice makers use bottle blowers to clean any loose debris from bottles before filling them. AFAIK that's it.
Depends on your supplier. If you are buying from a shop maybe wash them because they probably have been handled a lot. If you ask your supplier if you should wash them and they say yes.....Wash them obviously. Most large orders have bottles made to ship so they will be squeaky clean and washed. Ask your supplier
I wash everything I buy to hold anything I’m going to eat, drink or otherwise consume. You can’t assume a bottle, cup or whatever is clean and it doesn’t take much effort to wash stuff and set them to air dry for a day before using them if you can’t easily dry them.
p.s. if you’re worried about water content you can buy a gallon of distilled water to rinse with at the store for a couple dollars. That’s what cigar guys like myself use to humidify their humidors because it has no impurities and won’t grow mold.
