You mean for DIY? I prefer LDPE boston rounds. I like the skinny dropper tip (nozzle)
Yeah, me too. I've been reusing the Boston round glass bottles I've gotten from B&M shop juices but I bought one recently that was plastic with the tip and it's 100x easier to use. No repeat dips to fill a dropper

Hi, do you reuse them? I've got a bunch of glass bottles which are great because they'll amortize to almost zero eventually. However, I agree that it's a pain using the droppers.
If you do reuse them, do you clean them? If so, how?
Thanks.
All of the above and other choices people will recommend are of course good. But one source not mentioned much is mini 50ml bottles liquor comes in. I have a stash of empty Beam nip bottles that I find great for small batch DIY trials, they are sterile as is, light weight, and the thing I like is my funnels fit the opening for mixing directly by weight.
You can wash them in a mild solution of dish detergent, rinse really well. Others have used a mild vinegar/water solution, rinse well. Or just plain old hot water. Stubborn flavors might take a few more rinses.
Got all sorts, 10,15,30,50,100, unicorn, wide tip, narrow tip, pipette, glass, HDPE, PE and PET.

That's true!
The glass should be amber!
Proper utilization of a brown paper bag must be employed to keep out light.

I get 30ml plastic unicorn bottles and those brown glass bottles both from ecx.
I prefer the unicorn bottles but sometimes I get a little spillage when adding the vg I guess it's an air pressure thing it only happens of I don't stick the needle in far enough through the neck.
The brown bottles are easier to mix in but I prefer not using droppers and just dripping straight from the bottle which is why I prefer the plastic unicorns.

Same issue here but I think the small flip tip caps might work better.
I really like the 20ml cobalt glass bottles that Element uses. I love the "j-tip" dripper they use, I haven't seen where these drippers are available.
I got a bunch of droppers for my Wiz Lab bottles so I dont have to keep wiping off the single dropper of the glass bottle i mix into. I thought it would save money and be a bit faster but it takes me longer because of having to clean it before adding my next flavor. BUT then i got a ecx order and realized I like their faster shipping and their flavor bottles that come in squeeze tubes with the tips so no dropper needed
