Bottles for dripping
by steddyj » Thu Mar 03, 2011 10:35 am
I don't know if anyone else runs into this, but I find that larger bottles, certainly 10mL+ but sometimes even 6mL, tend to get messy while dripping. You don't squeeze enough out to create enough backpressure when releasing the bottle to suck in that half a drop left on the tip, which ends up in your cap, which collects and gets all over the threads.
Maybe I'm just being OCD about it, but I've decided I don't like dripping from large bottles. What I do love, however, is using 3mL bottles. 2-3 drops gives enough out that it sucks up the remaining fluid on the tip without fail, plus it's easy to get several different bottles neatly laid out next to their dedicated atty&dt in my inferno case. 3mL is way more than I'd vape between leaving my house and getting home to refill unless I'm going on a trip, and even if I do run out I have a few other flavors waiting on deck in the case anyway, as well as some filled tanks. They're easy enough to refill or top off from a larger bottle when I'm home and have a few minutes.
So this was half commentary, half tip for others. Anyone have any other preferences?

3Ml bottles are the easiest to drip with, but I tend to carry a 10ml with me because I'd have to carry 2-3 of the 3ml's to get my by for a day. Also the 3 ml bottles don't have child proof caps so I tend to try and not keep them around too much in my house as my grandsons can easily open them. 5ml bottles are an option, although they have the same issues as the bigger ones.. every once in a while you have to wipe off the dropper top and the threads inside the cap.

I use the 3ml bottles for dripping and anything larger for storage or mixing.
If you have a Dollar Tree nearby, they have those 3 packs of breath drops that have 3 3ml bottles for $1. Just dump out the liquid, wash and reuse.

I bought a bunch from US Plastics -

They are cheap and have fast and affordable shipping.
I love the 3 ml bottles although I don't like mixing in them - just too small - but I do use them for mixing R2V juices together and for having a "convenient personal size" bottle when on the go

Most days I carry these around with me-

But sometimes, I get so tired of refilling them, I'm seriously considering upgrading to these-

LOL,
But mine runs on steam...

But to get back to the OP, I use the USP 3ml bottles all the time. Gotten quite a collection of them.
Here's a little bit of a caution for you though. When carrying them, limit the amount of time you're carrying them in you pockets in your jeans or your shirt. I've spoiled a couple since I used to carry as many as 10 or 12 of them, I like options. The body heat tends to speed up their going bad if you're not careful. If you only take a couple, and go through them in a day or so, not a problem.
When at home, I'll drip right from the bigger bottles.

The other option is to always keep your traveling juice in a small case (like a camera case or the inferno case) or in a jacket pocket...this can keep them further away from your body heat....
