When you get so low on liquid that you're sucking the last drops out of bottles, have to wait for VG to be delivered, and finally get to mix.

4 gallons of VG delivered.
About to use 1.5 gals making 6020ml of liquid.


2x 30ml bottles
A 120ml bottle
16x 240ml bottles
2x 500ml bottles
A 1000ml bottle

Mate, seriously, some of those bottles look like they have come directly out of a tip!
Your joking yes?

Here you go driver.

30 ml bottles 2 of them ~$1.00
120 ml bottle 1 of them $0.89
250 ml bottles 16 of them $15.20
500 ml bottles 2 of them ~$2.00
+______
$19.09 before S&H

Cannot find any really affordable 1L 1000ml bottles for sale. They want to sell case units and could only locate a 6 unit case for around $74.00. To me that's horseshit when you only need 1 or 2 bottles. I mean if you divided it down that would be about $12.33 per bottle, which is plain out silly. Also figured if you're using the 240 ml bottles for 8 ozers you could suffer an extra 10 ml per bottle and just bump up to the 250 ml bottles. You'll get an extra 160 ml long haul.

Are you a mechanic?

Those bottles look like they’re used for oil changes...

insides are clean, caps are clean.
Yea, some are a little dirty on the outside from dust collecting on vg film, but they are mostly just worn from being jostled around in my semi.

Main benefit is all the 240s and the 120 are all the same capsize (24/410) and the only place I've found to get those caps with the attached tip lids tips is a 6 pack of 120m bottles from amazon that costs $30. Haven't seen any other bottles sold with a similar cap so my bottle usage revolves around being able to use those few caps which I swap between bottles.


BTW, https://www.sks-bottle.com/340c/LDPE-PlasticBottles.html
Don't pay marked up prices. Save money by getting bottles directly from a manufacturer.

Pack of 12x 240ml bottles for ~$5, certainly beats paying a dollar per bottle at resellers.

Need to change that picture in a week or two. Haven't worked for them for almost a year now (really shows how my activity here has dropped). Own my own truck now and am almost done starting my own company. 100% my own boss, drive where I want, when I want, with 100% of the profits coming to me.

If you guys really think the bottles are bad (few years old now, what is the lifespan for ldpe bottles anyway?), then it wouldn't hurt to replace them with new bottles next time I mix.

My stepdad who ran under the handle Whiskey Man, got himself kicked out of Houff Transfer for a DUI on his own personal time. He had driven for near everyone since he was 16 and nearing 65-70 when the DUI happened. He was upset at himself for totaling his sweet pickup he had bought. Took it into a rock wall.

So he started doing local daily runs for a guy with an ear to contracting work. He would haul gravel, sand, fill, load of livestock just whatever happened needing hauled. Felt surreal at his wake to not see him in a rig. One of his buds saw my ink on my arm and suggested I was just Whiskey Man jr.. Another of his buds had to steer me away quick. "C'mon let's go have a smoke."

Much as he tossed me lumps, much as I hated the s.o.b. .... well. But I never did call him dad, never will. Think through the hate we shared I got made a better person for it. Although it is a good possibility he is why I don't drive. I couldn't say for sure but it is possible. Yes, went "out" on the road with him a few times or so, too. So, I understand how driving gets in the blood.

Maybe you should replace them just in case they leech plastic into your juice. How long does 6000 mls last for you?
