| Where are you guys getting your plastic or glass bottles from and what price ranges?
I found us plastics has a good price on 15ml, 10ml, 6ml, and 3ml plastic dropper bottles for the highest being the 15ml at $0.32. They offer a 30ml in glass at $1.56. The cheapest I find for a plastic 30ml I think is $0.80 with $4.00 shipping. I know there must be a cheaper route and I keep coming up empty handed. Any ideas? Other than china, that is. |

| I don't get bottles for mixing cuz I'm not mixing yet but.... I have bought plastic ones, especially the very small ones for travel from freedomsmokeusa when I buy juice from them. Don't know how they compare in price. |

| US Plastics is where I mainly order from because I also order larger PET and HDPE packers, shrinkbands, etc.
I've also bought some of the chinese ejuice dropper bottles w/ crc caps from ecigexpress and madvapes. |

| I bought some bottles from these folks: http://www.specialtybottle.com/amber...bottlesmi.aspx
You have to manipulate the shipping cost in the shopping cart. Keep adding stuff and watch the shipping jump to the next level then back off a little.

Amber offers better protection from light.
Clear offers no additional protection.
HDPE is a high-density polyethylene plastic (recycle code 2) that offers greater tensile strength and impact resistance than low-density polyethylene (LDPE) at the same thickness which makes it a good choice for shipping chemicals and liquids.
It's commonly used for products like milk jugs and aspirin bottles.
Like the aspirin bottle example, it can be opaque and offer excellent protection from light.
It's also chemically resistant to solvents, acids, bases, alcohol, and vegetable oils.
The two areas where glass is superior to HDPE are resistance to UV light (glass doesn't degrade), and as an oxygen barrier when the right closure is used. |

| I only use US Plastics when I'm ordering a couple hundred containers at a time.
If you just need 10 bottles I would get them from ecigexpress.
They ship USPS first class so shipping should be $2.48 for 10 - 30ml bottles. |

No, for the plastic dropper bottles, 15ml is the largest they carry. |
