lol, yeah, i didn't get it at first. but if you say it out loud with a little urban slang accent, Yo.
@Roundhouse Did you guys stop selling vg/pg? Some chatter on FB and inquiring minds would like to know. Thanks!
It looks like I have to re enter all my info in account. All is good cause you all have the one flavor I'm looking for. Thanks for the sale! Happy Thanksgiving!
That's strange, not sure what happened but I may be able to help, are you using a different email address or do you mean it dropped your cart?
Y'know, I ABSOLUTELY LERVE BCF, BCV, whatever the hell you guys wanna call it, I farkin LOVE it. But I have a small request. If you aren't going to sell the larger (4oz or 120ml, whatever) of INW shisha strawberry in either glass bottles, or those AWESOME rectangular bottles for which I have the different dispenser caps, but instead, sell it in those MOTHERFUCKING HORRIBLE round bottles with the ITTY FUCKING BITTY dripper thingie on it... could you either enclose directions for removing that ITTY FUCKING BITTY dropper cap thingie, or offer the option right at time of sale to leave that motherfucker completely off??? I ALWAYS decant shisha strawberry into a GLASS bottle, one of their original glass bottles, which, granted, only hold 100ml instead of 120-125ml which 4oz actually is, just because that shisha strawberry is some strong stuff, and I don't really trust it for too long in plastic. But just now, the last bottle I ordered from you guys some months back was still sitting on my kitchen counter, reproaching me for not having yet decanted it into glass, so I got ambitious and did that very thing. And that MOTHERFUCKING HORRIBLE ITTY FUCKING BITTY dropper cap is so GODDAMNED hard to get off, I ended up spilling and wasting a couple ml's of shisha strawberry, and with my feelings about that flavoring, that's just plain sacreligious. NOBODY is going to drip drops from a bottle that size when doing a mix, so a dropper cap on that size bottle is just STUPID, especially one that itty fucking bitty! Please, just leave it off!!! Or go back to the better bottles! Thank you! Andria
I use pliers to get the dropper tip off (and that's still pretty hard to do with old creaky hands), but don't LEAVE it off, because if you tip the bottle once the screw cap is back on, it fills up with flavoring and makes an even bigger mess next time you open it. They absolutely have to go in a regular bottle, there's no other option. When I complained, I was told that "most" people prefer those itty fucking bitty dropper caps, so it's just us few in the minority that it drives bonkers. And now that the free shipping is by Fed-Ex instead of mail, it puts a hurt on me because I have to watch the driveway gate all day for the Fed-Ex guy. We never know when he's going to be here, and he won't come in because of the dog (who's big and scary looking but harmless). Two strikes against now. I'm feeling left behind and disillusioned.
May want to check into those Lock Boxes they make now for deliveries to deter the Porch Pirates. Just a thought @Lannie https://www.theporchpod.com/?gclid=...UtpuXuyeCRPdQzU-if8KRLaeZoUrI3QUaAgmNEALw_wcB
Save yer old 4 oz bottles to dump the flavoring from the new uslesscorn bottle into. I have been saving some of the old bottles for that purpose. I am on my last 2 regular bottles and will soon face the 6 or so uselesscorn bottles...
Well, that's exactly what I do; i've saved my REAL GLASS 100ml bottles that I got from that place in Poland I used to get my shisha strawberry from, but stopped when they were taking a fucking MONTH to get here, no matter what kind of shipping I selected, and their prices were outrageous compared to BCF anyway. But that means I have to get that MOTHERFUCKING DROPPER CAP off, and the thing is GODDAMNED IMPOSSIBLE to get off without spilling some! @Lannie -- I tried pliers, to just yank it off by the fucking tiny dropper, but it wouldn't budge! I had to use a razor knife to cut the dropper cap in half, then needle nose pliers to pull the stupid fucker OFF... which cost me a couple ml. Those dropper caps, with the FUCKING ITTY FUCKING BITTY drops, are GODAWFUL HORRIBLE!!!! NOBODY would want that! For the LOVE OF GOD, GET RID OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody is going to use a dropper that fucking tiny with a 4oz bottle, for mixing recipes! NOBODY!!!!!!! Anyone who buys 4oz bottles is going to use either syringes (my choice) or that weird thing of measuring liquids with a scale. NOT FUCKING DROPS!!!!!!!!! Those dropper caps SUCK DONKEY DICKS!!!!!!!! Andria
People that mix by weight might like them? I did recently get a .01 gm resolution scale but do not plan on mixing with it.
LOL! Even though I agree with her 100%, I was thinking "C'mon Andria, don't mince words, tell us how you REALLY feel!" Andria, I don't know what your method with the pliers is exactly, but I'll tell you what I do. Set the bottle on the table so it has a firm base, grab the dropper tip at the base with the needle-nose pliers, and lever it upward (push down on the pliers handles, using the bottle's edge as your lever point). I realize some of them are still really hard to get off, but if you can lift that plastic plug enough to get a table knife between it and the bottle, you can tilt the front end of the knife up (or down) to widen the gap until it finally comes off. Maybe the Spawn's hands would be strong enough to get them off, too, have you asked him to help? Meanwhile, I checked WL, and they *mostly* use bullet bottles (with screw on caps) or the little rectangular bottles (also with screw on caps) but they said they do sometimes use unicorn bottles. According to their customer service person, if you request they DON'T use unicorn bottles, they'll do their best to comply. Unfortunately, they don't sell your shisha strawberry in a 4 oz. bottle, although they don't list pints of VC1 on the site, either, but said I could order that from them in pints. So I guess you could ask. They also said they *mostly* use USPS for shipping, however if Fed-Ex or UPS is cheaper, they'll use them. She told me to put in my order comments to use only USPS and if it's more expensive than the other guys, they'll only charge me the difference in price, not the whole cost of postage, and I can live with that for the convenience of having my order put in the mailbox and not needing me to watch the gate all day. Also, the mail lady comes at the same time every day. It's not porch pirates I have to worry about (they won't come out this far), it's not seeing the Fed-Ex guy and having him take the box back to the depot for redelivery at a later date. I have SO much work that needs to be done every day here on the farm, it's a complete PITA to have to waste a whole day staring out the window.
I do like WizLabs, BUT I hate that they're in FL; shipping from FL to GA (1 state away!) is slower than if I order something from farkin Connecticut or Arizona! While from BCF, it's also 1 state away, and I get anything I order from them, within about 3 days, 4 MAX. I think it only took 4 back when there was some damn hurricane tearing up the east coast! So next time, if I have to wrangle that fucking dropper cap off again, I'll just ask my he-man to do it for me -- that's what men are for, right? And yes, i know, I'm such a RESTRAINED personality, it's really hard to know how I really feel about things. Andria
Hey @AndriaD here is a link to an easy way to get those 4oz tops off https://blog.copackr.com/news/life-hack-how-to-open-chubby-gorilla-bottles
Thanks for the tip. I just tried it on a new bottle i have and it works slick. I use to use a screwdriver.
Looks like wllmc already shared a link that covers this. Alternatively, you can also use a regular table knife to wiggle between the spout cap and bottle as you rotate the bottle.
That method doesn't work for me - I just tried it and my fingers are not up to the physical task. The outer cap keeps slipping off the rounded outside edge and I can't get it pushed in enough to get between the dropper cap and the bottle. So it's not so easy-peasy for everyone. Just people who don't have arthritis in their hands, I'm guessing.
That really doesn't help. I tried everything to try to "pop" that fucker loose, no way was it coming off with less than the strength of, oh I dunno... The Rock? My husband? So, next time I will simply hand it to him and say "please pop off that MOTHERFUCKING DROPPER THING so I can actually pour this into a GLASS bottle." You really should test these things with WOMEN... and not Rhonda Rousey either, a REGULAR woman. Andria
No, the problem is that THEY ARE MEN. They have ZERO conception of going thru life with 1/5th their natural strength. I don't have arthritis in my hands, or at least, not all the time, just a flare-up here and there... and I type A LOT, so my fingers are actually quite strong. But I'm female, not a bodybuilder, not a pro wrestler, a female housewife. Andria
So I'm picking up subtle hints that Andria D, Lannie and The Cromwell don't care for the dropper bottles Is that a universal feeling here, would most of you like to see us move away from bottles with dispensing tips or at least with the 4oz bottles?
I would for the 4 oz bottles. subtle? I can see where someone mixing small batches by weight may prefer them though. Just would like another option.
I really liked the rectangular bottles, which, when you bought a 4oz size, it offered you a choice of free dispensing tips. I have a couple of the ones with the red plastic cap on the end (I widened the hole in those so the liquid could actually be squeezed out rather than dropped), and one of the swivel-dispensers. They're both pretty nifty. Andria
I just came here looking for tips on getting those damn caps off too. They're awful when you have middle aged eyes and hands. I've destroyed a few with pliers already. I wonder if jewelry pliers would be easier.
If I were to use syringes I'd probably just snip a little little piece off the top if necessary and use a syringe like nurses draw medicine into a syringe and turn it upside down and draw it like that. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
i just tried that cap trick, it works. but i can see how it won't for some. has anyone used one of those tools made for removing the caps ?
i have this one on the way. don't hold your breath. https://www.everzon.com/reewape-5in1-shortfill-cap-opener-tool.html
I think it's blue just to better illustrate the 2 pieces of the bottles and where to hold the cap against the tip. It took me a couple tries to get the hang of it but it doesn't take much at all, its more a technique of pressing and turning than strength. I do see how it would be difficult for some I also have this nifty right hand full of plates and screws that keeps me from making a fully closed fist even and doesn't do much but cause me trouble. Normally I have to get my kid to open jars and stuff lol
