Does anyone know where I can find little glass bottles for testing? Something 5ml would be ideal. The 30ml glass bottles I have are just way too big for mixing up a small single flavor tester.

There's tons of them on eBay. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/192396648388

Np I might grab some as well lol rn I'm using 15ml bottles and I just don't fill them all the way. The 5ml ones I have just seem to small, they're not glass but still, I like to make 10ml testers so I have plenty to test on day 1, day 7, day 14 and so on.

I might just use these, I have them laying around from when my wife went on a short essential oil kick. These were never used.

I had some of those and PIF'd them. They suck for anything with a higher than 50% VG content.

Try these. They're one dram, which is a little over 3.5ml.

EDIT: They also have them in 2 dram, which is (obviously) a little over 7ml.

Thanks, I ordered a bunch on ebay. I got some 5ml for new single flavors and some 15ml for testing new recipes. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
@CrazyChef v2.0 wow thanks for the site! These look great, wish some didn't require 100 min order.

When I first started DIY I was doing the smaller samples but IMO it wasn't enough to actually know if a recipe was good because not enough to make some, give it the minimum time to infuse and have some to give extra time after the initial test. So I started using 12-15ML bottles because if you want to make only 10MLs it is perfect.
Cool thanks for the tip. I got some 5ml and 15ml and I already have 30ml. I don't normally test recipes until they have steeped at least 2 weeks, but usually I just forget about them for a month. I was thinking the only thing I would use the 5ml ones for would be single flavor testers. I have so many flavors I'm using and I don't know enough about them. It's hard to improve on a recipe without really knowing the characteristics of the flavors first hand. Does steeping affect most flavors when they are in a single flavor recipe?
I personally always try to perfect stand alone flavors before I mix them because how can you tell how they go together if you do not know how to make them alone. My favorite way to experiment is to mix them in a tank so I can see how well they blend or what is the predominant flavor. Easy to add a little more to a tank to guesstimate percentages.
I've only made recipes I have found on ELR. Any changes I have made I do by smell and the descriptions I've read about flavors.
You mix flavors directly into an rta? I can't believe that works. I will have to give it a shot. Do you have any tips on how to do it?
Thanks for the clarification
