I just fell in love!

I've been looking for a site that sells bottles of various sizes, for cheap. Found one that even has customizable caps. They look interchangeable, as well.


.... and then I found out it ships from China.... Still might be worth it, so I don't pay 300% markup at my local B&M for bottles.

Pay attention to their shipping costs; I recall them being a bit on the expensive side for smaller orders.

Yeah, I picked out $10.00 worth of bottles, and the cheapest shipping was $11. But then....

...just a little more research put me onto THIS site. They have AMAZING customer service. I was just browsing bottles, and a service rep asked me if I needed help, or had questions. ! I'll be ordering from there after I pick out everything I need.

 

[bigbadthor]

This site is pretty awesome, will place an order here. I like the 1mm dripper cap!

 

[VapingJunkie]

They currently have an overstock on black 15ml bottles. Cost with black lid, dripper tip, and black bottle? $.28 each. Not counting shipping or the 'small order' fee.

 

[Huckleberried]

I know I've seen these somewhere in the states..... If I can remember who/where I'll post it. I'd love to have a rainbow of caps to differentiate!

This link should point you to an Amazon.com seller with 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 50ml bottles. Good prices, free shipping. I just don't want to order clear bottles. I want opaque, to reduce nicotine oxidization.

Edit: Will probably order from this vendor, those prices are pretty good from what I've found.

 

[Huckleberried]

If RocketPuppy reads this thread, I assure you, she can find some with the different colored caps! I checked all my links and came up with zilch.

Their shipping charges are ridiculous. I put in an order, and when it came time to ship, I was like HOLY MOLY!!! Plus, they add on $10 for small orders. My goods totaled $17, but the shipping was $28 plus $10...$55. Ridiculous. Have you tried dhgate or aliexpress? They do come from China, but pretty much everything ships for free. I've been satisfied with everything I've ordered from both sites. I do read the reviews before purchasing.

Yes, they hook you with their lower prices, but then charge you a fortune for shipping.

Free shipping is great, and fast shippers with in-stock merchandise *cough slowtech cough* are also great to deal with. I'll be checking on them now. Meanwhile, here's a gander at what I've been working on for my buddies who want to start buying juice from me.

I figure word-of-mouth is extremely important, so I'm going to use these and get some shrink-wrap tubes. Aesthetics, yo!

I'm looking at the item shown here and I see free shipping. On 10ml, 20ml, and 50ml bottles.

I've been looking at these at fasttech...

P.S. You just may not get them until Christmas

i just do not like those dang hard bottles that you can not squeeze..

To each their own.

I just prefer not to vape plastic.

 

[VapingJunkie]

Fasttech bottles are $.36 for each 10ml, $.49 for a 30ml, and $.59 for a 50ml. I think I'm gonna stick with the Amazon seller, which can do, for the three, $.11, $.31, and $.35, respectively. Plus free shipping.

I use these but solely for testers without nicotine. However, I prefer the long tip ones.

On my phone, so the photos are small, but some of their bottles come with the long tips.

That would look soooo much nicer in glass =)

Imo of course.

 

[VapingJunkie]

Yeah, but then I couldn't save my customer 2 arms and a leg by buying through me.

That's an odd pg/vg.

You are correct.

I don't know how else to ask without sounding slightly forward, so I'll stay quiet if I'm being annoying.
Are all your flavorings from the US?
Is aesthetics for what your going?
Who are your buyers? Do you already have clientele?

I like the hand(fist)/pv pic btw.

 

[VapingJunkie]

Not annoying at all, as I'm still trying to figure out logistics for myself. All my flavorings (currently) are from TFA, through WizardLabs. My PG, VG, and Nic are all USP-grade. I have interested friends who will pay to help me get this venture off the ground, in the form of initial purchases. My main goal is to provide high-quality e-juice manufactured in a sterile environment, for reasonable prices. As I begin to build a customer base, I'll expand my flavor selection, testing new juices as I acquire more flavor. I want to eventually offer fruity, tobacco, menthol, dessert, and other flavors. So many plans, with so little knowledge! I guess I need to find a VU vendor and ask some questions about selling e-juice.

[Temple Noble]

You could try here. The shipping is okay. Still high but a bit better and they are fast. http://www.specialtybottle.com/glas...-OLkw_PwfprBr9QK7Ly23G4GHLbsRSLO2pRoC9zbw_wcB

uggg.... they use that?

i still want a nice set of 21 glass bottles for some of my special recipes..
decorative.. but functional..

 

[RocketPuppy]

Well...if I wasn't being annoying then, let me try.
I really do mean no disrespect, and please, if I am overstepping here, ignore away.
The reason I asked the above is because when I think of the word or a juice named Junkie, sterile and delightful liquid are not what come to mind. If you really are trying to market to the general public and make money, a name's connotations unfortunately will make many steer clear, the whole judging a book by its cover. As often as we don't want to fall victim to it, I know that I do even without it being intentional. Now, if you're solely going for college aged people or junkies, then it would work well. Oddly enough, I like the name, but part of that has to do with me somewhat knowing you here. If I saw it online or in a B&M, I'd probably forego it.

In terms of your label, I would put the name of the company at the top, imo of course.

I'm not a distributor or anything like that, so my opinions may be ridiculous. =)

 

[VapingJunkie]

This is all good stuff. Those labels take about 2 seconds to change, and no plans are set in stone yet. Might change the name to StrateClowdz. Those bottles were mainly to test and align the output from my juice program to my printer. I take tremendous care to prevent cross-contamination of materials, so I would be inclined to agree with a name change.

StrateClowdz - lol Same thing with this one. Might as well go with StonerJunkie =)

but I drip high for a lil bit of the action! lol..

Sorry.. picking a name out for a business can be fun..

 

[Smoky Blue]

I will say.. @VapingJunkie to have quit in under 2 weeks and already wanting to sell your juices you are learning to make, I am proud of you!
Go for it! I hope your new business will be the most successful..

Keep us all updated, ok? I know it is hard, but it looks like you have the ambition and determination to make this work!

Good luck...hope you do well

If you've got a regular and small customer base, run a bottle return program. I mix a couple of flavors for some friends, and prefer to use glass drippers. I have them save the empties and return them for credit. My customer base is pretty limited and I see them every week or two, so it works out well for all parties.

I do this currently for my friends, but not with glass.
