I use needle tip bottles similar to these
VEEAPE 12pcs 15ml Steel Needle Soft PET Plastic Dropper Bottle Tip Glue Bottle with 6 Funnels, for E-liquids and Vape DIY https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H5HNPRC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lcVYCb4010KXM
Looks like it is these
Amazon! You can find packs of 12/24/48/etc. vials / amber bottles for extremely cheap. You can also get very cheap (in a good way, they're all high quality) nasal sprayers, as well. I have SOOOO many left over amber bottles and such.
Here are some examples!
1oz Amber Bottles 12pk
Same thing, but 2oz.
12 Amber Vials with Droppers
Larger Clear Round Pyrex bottle
2ml amber dram bottles (these also come in 24-36+ counts, too
...and there's so much more! Amazon is a goldmine for research materials in my experience! Hope I could help!

I paid about $4 for this. I'm sure the price will go back down when they're in stock. It has never leaked a drop.
I love decanting liquid products into little spray/mist bottles. I feel like I waste less product on cotton and I'm not touching my face so that's always a win. I am pretty sure my face has cleared up at least in part because of this. I use a clean puff to apply thicker consistency lotions/serums. These bottles were really cheap from Amazon and they are glass. Bottles: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00V75EUWQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_21_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1481082683&sr=8-21&keywords=Vivaplex
On Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07H5HNPRC
Depending on where you're located and your accessibility to amazon.com, I buy unscented foaming soap and a tattoo spray bottle like this https://www.amazon.com/ACM-Economy-Bottle-Squeeze-Medical/dp/B00WTHLR2M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1500688799&sr=8-5&keywords=squirt+bottle . Put foam on, rinse it with the squirt bottle, good to go. That's my LITHA when I'm away from running water (like when I go camping).
Edit to add: when camping, use bottled water. Camp/lake water is full of all sorts of gross stuff.
I bought them on Amazon.
Link for droppers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KD76CO8?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title
I also used these funnels:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07BH34G49?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title
I am testing these ball bearings as agitators. I am soaking a few of them in salt water to see if they corrode. So far they have held up.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007IK9VNM?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title
Edit: I used a mix of distilled water and Vallejo thinner medium in a 9 drops of water to one(sometimes two) drop of thinner ratio.
Just add the thinner medium and the drops of water to the pot along with 2 ball bearings. Shake it up and pour it into the dropper via the funnel. Try and find something to brace the dropper if you can. You don't want it tipping over halfway through the pour. When the pot is mostly cleared out add those 2 bearing to the dropper bottle as an agitator.
The citadel labels peel right off and I put them on the dropper bottle and it looks pretty fancy. If only Citadel would make my life easier and put the paint in a dropper at the paint plant 😂.
It doesn't take very long to transfer a paint so you can get a lot of them done in a short amount of time.
I think bottletop is the way to go, I've been doing it with syringe filters and shit but man it fucking sucks and it just doesn't feel like it's very sterile sometimes atleast for a newbie like myself. Used bottletop today to brew up some Test Cyp and holy shit was it way easier and just felt a lot more sterile. Used the following stuffs
https://www.amazon.com/ABN-Brake-Bleeder-Vacuum-Pump/dp/B005BT90DI/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1475218483&sr=1-2&keywords=hand+brake+pump
https://www.amazon.com/PYREX-250mL-Round-Storage-Bottles/dp/B004XR5TIO/
https://www.amazon.com/Autofil-1151-RLS-Bottle-Filtration-micrometer/dp/B00HSDSRHU
Going to be brewing some more test cyp/tren a/mast p/test p and maybe some other goodies in 2-3 months so I am glad I purchased all this now since thatll be a lot easier in the future :)
EDIT: Also I just use sterile vials so all I do after the stuff is filtered is draw it up in a 60ml syringe and put a needle in the vial before dropping 10ml into each sealed vial, I know some people buy open vials and the flip tops which is a lot cooler but you'd have to sterilize the vials and I don't have an autoclave or an oven I could use. :(
Tooth powder plus 5 mL dropper bottle has been my go-to for years. Bonus: it's simply various carbonates (aka limestone) and menthol, so I don't feel bad spitting it into a shallow hole.
So, first: Hike your own hike. That applies to a lot of things, including gear. If you're looking for the "best" of any item, you can ask 10 hikers and get 10 different answers.
That said, there's one thing I swear by: bleach. Forget all those other purifying contraptions and gimmicky ways to quench your thirst. A small eye dropper of bleach will last a lot of miles, it will almost certainly cut your pack weight and possibly even be easier and quicker than your current method of making water. And, to top it off, bleach is inexpensive and widely available in stores.
How it works:
Pro tip: Buy a handful of eye dropper LINK bottles. Mail fresh bottles ahead in resupplies that way you can replace anything that gets damaged. Be sure to label "Bleach" on your bottle so no one gets goofy with it.
I also think it's generally a good idea to have the means to purify water in two ways. For instance, if your Sawyer breaks, it'd be a good idea to have a dropper of bleach available. If your eye dropper springs a hole, it'd be helpful to have iodine, a UV pen, a Sawyer, etc. (even a second bottle of bleach!).
You can also re-fill the cartridge from bottled ink for fountain pens
using a 'blunt syringe' or vape bottle
Using a Cartridge Converter or refilling the cartridge is much cheaper in the long run, but can be messier than using replacement cartridges, but cartridges can be more convenient for some people. Your choice or do both like I do - Cartridges for when I am traveling, bottled ink at home or when I want a wide range of colours.
No, I don't. My skin is not very sensitive at all and can even put it full strength on my face (in small spots). What I do is have a little vial of some essential oils that are mostly full strength and after I put on rosehip, squalane or other oil, I will put some on my hands, rub them together & pat/spread them on my face really thinly over the existing oil layer. I could do something more careful, like mix it in advance, but that would take more time & planning.
I have about 3 vials of essential oil blends that I'm using for for different skin care concerns right now:
I think you can always mix it in your hand, tho. Like put tea tree or whatever other oil in your hand and then add about 5-10x times as much carrier oil, like rosehip or squalane to it.
I make cosmetics like an Italian mother cooks, & don't really measure anything (except for bakuchiol oil blends because that can burn your face like 100% retinol). It's all based on doing what I need that day as quickly as possible.
These 1/4 ounce vials are really handy if you wanted to mix up some facial essential oils in advance. They're also great for havingn travel size serums & lotions on trips or in a gym kit
I just picked up 100 30ml LDPE bottles with child proof caps and dropper tops (those awesome thin needle tip ones that fit in the bottom fill port of the kayfun lite), for $30 (plus something like $6 shipping). Heartland Vapes has some pretty good pricing.
I also recently picked up 50 15ml LDPE bottles with dropper tips and caps for $14.00 from Amazon. It's awesome if you have prime.
I went to a Vo-Ag high school where we had an entomology class for river and stream management (yes, we went on fishing field trips!!). We would go to the local tail waters with a net like this and would stick it in the water down stream of us and kick around the rocks and let everything flow in to the net. Then we would put the insects in vials like these, which allowed us to study them. You can even fill them with formaldehyde and bring them with you to make a permanent collection. If you used the links to buy those items you’ll save a ton of money that you can spend on tying materials etc. That’s just my 2 cents.
Edit to add: this net is more suitable

For autoclaving, in college we would just cover the top of the bottle with a small piece of aluminum foil and secure it with autoclave tape (which will also indicate when a specific temp has been reached)

You can order 500 ml pyrex jars on Amazon for 20 bucks. Pyrex makes universally durable borosilicate glass. This is the same thing you would get if you went through VWR or a lab supply company.
I would stay away from plastic- I don't know your application, but I would worry that plastic additives would leech into your solution. That depends on the type of plastic- look for the recycling label on the bottom, that will tell you what kind of plastic you have. I would think a thick HDPE jar would be satisfactory (nalgene makes lab-grade containers available on amazon as well), but pouring and cleaning plastic might be a little more trouble.
Here's the items I found- sorry for the formatting as I'm on mobile.

This search should have a lot of good material. I like shaker bottles so I haven't been following pitcher recommendations too closely but I got curious and looked through. This one seems to be considered a direct upgrade over the included pitcher.
Here are some glass spray bottles on Amazon. I personally have not used these ones, I use plastic ones for my products, but these seem to be what you want.
I do pretty much what this lady does, but I just apply the stuff topically. I buy dried licorice root from my local natural food store. Recipe: 1 cup water:4 heaping tablespoons of licorice root (which lasts me about 2 weeks). I steep the extract for 1-2 days and then filter it through a fine mesh strainer into a squeeze bottle I bought at a cooking supply store. My licorice extract lives in my fridge, next to my OST. :)
EDIT: My friend was asking the same thing, so I made an imgur album. And looking through it, I just realized I need to throw out my expired dashi! @.@
I do agar with an SAB and a 23qt presto also.
These pyrex bottles are awesome for making agar https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004XR5TUM/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Look up recipes and find what you like. I use light malt extract ordered from amazon and the telephone brand agar https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D42CRIE/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Agar is awesome but seems overwhelming at first but once you just get the stuff and try it you will love it.
Thank you!
Here are some more!
These are the blue bottles. The clear ones are some leftover Gremlin Juice bottles I repurposed.
https://www.amazon.com/Glass-Vials-Dram-Pack-12/dp/B002JV89OC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510106119&sr=8-3&keywords=2+dram&dpID=314eE9T9MqL&preST=_SX342_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
ez pour, yo.
now you just have to hide it..but it would fit very well in your anal cavity.
And clean! So many failures are due to not cleaning your probe after each use. Keeping a wash bottle with some distilled/RO water next to where you store/clean your meter helps a lot.
For reference:
As for the mixing equipment, see below:
The pipettes are good to have just in case you only need to transfer a little bit of PG or get a flavoring that doesn't come in a dripper bottle. If you purchase from one of the three flavor vendors I referenced in my post, they will come in dripper bottles. You may never use the pipettes.
My personally recommended list of flavors to start with, aside from the flavors you will buy for recipes you find:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/45ccfd/the_unofficial_list_of_flavors_for_beginners/
Just pick whatever you think sounds good on this list and you CANNOT go wrong.
i get mine from amazon, 2 oz boston rounds. looks like the 24 pack is the cheapest per unit right now. the prices are always changing.

Nalgene wide mouth 2L bottle
I think most of the people here have answered the questions. I'd only say, if you're flying a lot, that having one of the plastic eye droppers is a very good alternative.
I used to work in a pharmacy.
https://www.amazon.com/Leegoal-Dropper-Bottle-Plastic-Liquid/dp/B00DS2B6GE
Or.
http://www.freundcontainer.com/plastic-child-resistant-dropper-bottles/c/643/
There's a brand I'm missing here, but you get the basic idea. I just worry about glass breaking, not that plastic is indestructible mind you.
Anyhow. If your flying don't forget to wrap your bottle in a quality ziploc bag or two. And some pens need you to relieve air pressure (Pilot 823) in them to prevent the inky mess.
Best of luck. Hope that this one works for you. Cheers.
Thats nothing.
You can fix that easily.
Get one of these needle applicator bottles
Get some Titebond 2 or Titebond 3, and thin it out with 5%-10% water. Mix it in like a paper cup with a popcicle stick or something before you put it in the applicator bottle.
With the applicator bottle squeeze as much as you can deep into the crack. You may want to use a pin or something to try and poke as much down into the crack as you can.
Doesn't look like there's exactly a good way to clamp this particular crack, so I wouldn't worry about it unless you think you have an idea how to do it.
Clean up excess with a damp paper towel, and let dry 24 hours.
They are super useful for refilling a used cartridge. A bit messy if ink is still in the spout or if there is a bit of ink at the top of the neck of the cartridge, but these are what I use.

I prefer amber boston round glass bottles with polycone caps. The darkened glass blocks light (and pretty much all UV) and polycone caps provide an airtight seal sufficient for lab use. Amazon Link
I looked up my original order from many years ago, and I got this kit: https://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/kits/choose-your-own-colors-little-group-tie-dye-kit.html
With the Neon color set: https://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/fiber-reactive-dye-custom-color-sets.html
These days, though, I prefer these bottles for more control and because I mix less dye in more colors than I did at first: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FSMJWG
So you want the proper weight for pg/vg/nicotine, other than that you can use 1g/ml for ANY flavoring. It won't be 100% correct, but if you are making your recipes and everything uses 1g/ml it won't matter that it's not perfectly accurate since your recipe's will all be based on this slight inaccuracy. The important thing is nic/pg/vg
I personally use squeeze bottles I got off amazon.
Then for flavorings you can use them how they come. If they come in little glass bottles with no dropper top I would grab the 1000 disposable pipettes on amazon for like $10 and you'll be set.
You can get smaller bottles based on how much volume you're mixing. But its much easier than drawing a syringe, VG can be a pain to draw. With squeeze bottles its soo much easier/faster/higher accuracy
I would check out this guide from a fellow DIYer (Botboy)
These are the ones I use.

Don't know what the cap is made of and haven't tried to PC one yet.
I actually just found these bottles on Amazon. There is actually a ton of stuff like this on Amazon and since I already have Prime it's free 2 day shipping. I think I'm gonna order a carrying case I found on there too.
I've had this set of 30ml and the 2014 version of this set of 15ml for over two years now, and haven't had a problem with either. They've stayed sealed and haven't dried out, no issues with either the tips or the lids. I would recommend the ones I bought from Amazon. I may have gotten really lucky, but so far, so good.
I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada and I find that we use vinegar as a "seasoning" / finisher much more often then other places I've been.
A few people below have already listed a trick we use; a small spritz bottle of vinegar instead of drizzling it, as a mist is a lot less intense then a small stream.
Here is the spritz bottle set I have for my vinegars:
https://www.amazon.com/Vivaplex-Amber-Glass-Bottles-Sprayers/dp/B00V75EUWQ
As someone also already mentioned, the classic combo I use ALL the time is malt vinegar over anything starchy, fried or white fishes. I spritz higher end malt over french fries, home fries, battered fish, sword fish steaks, haddock sticks -- lots of things.
I have an apple cider vinegar I love to spritz over winter soups and stews. The one I have is a mild vinegar, so it's less intense but it brings a beautiful lift to normally heavy things like beef stew.
Balsamic vinegar I spritz over: salads, greek food, pasta, strawberries, salmon and sometimes even lightly over orange slices.
White wine vinegar I'll also use for salmon, and I also have a second bottle of white wine vinegar mixed with lemon rind for this.
Rice vinegar goes on my sushi, a little bit on a bahn mi sandwich, a little over some fried rice. Basically my asian foods. I also have a rice vinegar mixed with orange and lime rind for a more citrus floral taste.
Sherry vinegar I spritz over roasts, pork chops, steaks. Basically any deep meat. Also not bad on a burger with carmelized onions.
Basically, it's about moderation and about distribution. By spritzing instead of drizzling or adding directly into food you can use vinegar just like you would use any other seasoning, such as the variations of salt

I recommend tossing the pitcher they give you and buying this one: http://www.amazon.com/Nalgene-2121-0005-Wide-Mouth-Bottle-Polypropylene/dp/B003OBYW5G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
it only has two parts, a screw cap and bottle with a very wide mouth so it's very easy to clean. It's fatter and shorter so it fits on a normal shelf in the fridge.
i split the bottle up into two other bottles making it 50mg nic. these are the bottles i use. I recommend taking out the dropper as well.

First of all, what type of flux is in the pen?
If the flux is rosin flux, then yes, you should use rosin core solder. If the flux is no-clean, then you should use no-clean solder. You don't HAVE to do this, but generally rosin flux is better than no-clean, and if you are using the two together you are pretty much losing the no-clean ability of the no-clean, so why not just use rosin?
I would highly recommend buying a bottle of this:
125 mL MG Chemicals 835 Rosin Flux
And getting an applicator such as this:
needle tip flux applicator
You can find those applicators all over the place. You could also use refillable brushes or pens if you prefer. (I really like these small needle tip applicators, quite precise)
The flux will last you quite a long time, so it's a good investment. Next I would recommend getting some good quality solder from a known brand. I like to use MG Chemicals because it is easily available where I am. I buy RA or RMA (Rosin Activated or Rosin Mildly Activated) 60/40 or 63/37 solder. Note that it has a slightly higher flux percentage, 2.2% which I recommend as well (more flux is almost always better).
The RA solder combined with the RA flux works like a charm. It makes soldering (and de-soldering) so easy you will always want to use flux, seriously. The only complication is that you may want to clean your boards afterwards, if you want them to last a really long time. IPA or some flux cleaner works well.
I forgot to mention solder thickness. Generally the thicker the solder the less likely you will need extra flux. I find with 0.032" solder with moderate sized pads (5+ mms?) extra flux is good. With smaller pads you probably won't need extra flux. With bigger solder you probably won't need extra flux. That's why it's good to just have the flux in case you find your solder just doesn't cut it.
I always wonder the same thing! What has worked for you while traveling?
Most recently I moved my Cereve cream into a 3 oz "GoToob" type squeeze bottle and it worked perfectly. I was leary, but took an oil blend in one of these 1 oz glass drop bottles and didn't have any leaks. My UltaMD sunscreen happens to be in a 1.7oz container. Packed my microfiber washcloths in a ziplock bag to squeeze air out and save space.
You could surely find some on Amazon (make sure it is the right plastic) or just throw one in with an order from Bull City Vapor. (Link #1) (Link #2)
Or you can get something like this. Might need to modify it slightly for VG though.
I ordered 100mg PG Nicotine from Wizardlabs, opened it a week ago, realized the container it comes in isnt very well sealed even though its amber, is the air gonna make it go bad(I only popped a small hole in the white seal to fit in a dropper, just put some tissue and tap over it and sealed it up)? If so how fast(Like would another week in it effect it? I am gonna order these)
Would this be fine? Thanks!
When buying things on Amazon that say "Free Shipping" why do the product descriptions still list the international and domestic shipping rates? For example, a lot of these glass bottles (https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004TS3NOO/ref=sr_1_4_olp?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1468194050&sr=1-4&keywords=amber+glass+bottle&condition=new)?

The american vendor I got them from is out of stock. I wld pay a cpl extra dollars to find a stateside seller instead of waiting for shipping from hong kong
Hmm ... I really doubt that it does. I stopped using the plastic bottle and now use the glass ones with the dropper tops. It fits perfectly into these and they are easy to wash and re-use, too. Here's a link to the 30ml. I have 60ml also. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081SPX9Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For light blue, not opaque, with zero problems try distilled water and copper (II) sulfate. It only takes a drop or two for your whole loop. Dropper bottles are pretty cheap too. I love me some Amazon for stuff like this on the cheap. I stated with Mayhems opaque but after all the horror stories I figured distilled water was the life for me.
Good advice. I just did that a few weeks ago to add to my stock of NicSelect and VapersTek chillin in the freezer. Vape Clarity is better quality than NicSelect and a much better price than VapersTek while being on par for quality.

The first bunch I bought from specialty bottle I just email-replied to my order and asked for the upgrade. Cost like 10 extra cents per bottle but I was getting bigger ones for decanting half full bottles as well as smaller ones for samples so I wanted the good seals.
Sometimes. For coconut oil I have smaller jars that I fill with it that make it easier to melt down. For olive oil I use a dropper bottle similar to this and the roommates jojoba oil comes in a convenient bottle
I use small glass bottles with a pump sprayer like these. They aren't as pretty as the big aftershave bottles, but I find these a lot more practical and less wasteful. 5-6 sprays into your cupped hand is all you need. Makes it a lot easier to always dispense the same amount of aftershave.
I found them on amazon, 6.99 for 50 shipped from China

I'm a sucker for sampler packs, I'll order anything if it's available as a sample. Maybe you could offer samples in little plastic bottles?
Also if you started off looking for a substitute to Alts-Innsbruck and you feel you made one that's even better than the original then don't you offer it on your Etsy store? I have the A-I pre/post shave oil emulsion and love to use it especially if I've had a rough shave. I like the smell and would definitely try an after-shave splash version.

For the 15ml glass bottles ill use for testing, and
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D1GV8LU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
for the plastic 30ml drippers. It wasn't to bad on cost but I'll probably end up getting dropper tops for the glass bottles farther down the line. For the $20-$27 the local B&M charges for 30ml bottles 6-10 good DIY 30ml will cover my cost dollar wise and I need something to do in my free time or i might start up another planted aquarium which get more expensive quickly.
I think this is the one I have.
Anything labeled GL-45 will work.
If you hit up amazon and search “glass media bottle” there are tons of good cheap options.
I use a shitload of acetone around the shop.
Get it at homeless despot by the gallon can, and buy some of those clear acetone/alchohol bottles on amazon - I bought a 3 pack, one for acetone, one for isoproponol, and one for tap-magic.

VKtech also sels 5ml bottles on Amazon that are great for samplers. Here is the link.
hope this ships, since some of my under $5 won't to hawaii. o(╥﹏╥)o
My Puggle pooped on the floor. I hope it wasn't carpet!
how about needle tip bottles?
I use these small glass vials, though I'm not sure if they are the 1 or 2 dram, I think 2. They're perfect for storage and carrying and the mouth is almost exactly the size of the trench. Not 100% airtight, but better than baggies or medicine bottles for sure.

I had to take a plane two four days ago, and I used nicotine empty bottles for e-cigs. A friend of mine gave them to me, I washed them properly and they're just perfect! You can find something like [them] (http://www.amazon.com/Empty-Dropper-Bottle-Plastic-Liquid/dp/B00DS2B6GE/ref=pd_tcs_compl_hg_63?ie=UTF8&refRID=0XEHBVKEJY7T43MRTKRM) easily.

The glass itself or the sample vial?
Something like 4-5 5ml bottles for the same cost as a 20ml bottle. I don't know how much it would cost to get the small bottles, but I have seen a crap load of them lately.
Something like these....http://www.amazon.com/Vktech-Plastic-Dropping-Bottles-Pack/dp/B00D2MH66Y
To follow up, here’s something’s I grabbed to get started with mixing.
American Weigh Scales LB-501...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UGBG20 ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This scale has worked amazingly. I don’t think I’ve had to change the batteries yet. Just make sure you calibrate it when you get it and always make sure it’s set to grams when you start mixing.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GUIMD9Q?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
These bottles work great with storing premix. I buy it buy the gallon, so four of these bottle will hold that. Keeps the nicotine fresh. Also be sure to store in a cool dark place.
510 Central Boston Round LDPE... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072FSMJWG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
These bottles are good priced and fairly leak resistant. My pre mix is 10/90 pg/vg, since the flavoring is all pg based. Anything with a smaller nozzle is a huge pain to get out so the wider nozzle helps here. It can be a bit tricky depending on your tank. Most newish ones seem have a big enough hole though.
Anymore questions feel free to ask! You found the right place. Everything I know about DIY I learned off this subreddit. Good luck!
What I use most right now are these 4 oz. LDPE with a twist top, and I LOVE them for my staples that I use a lot of (probably cheaper on the 518 site):

and these for batches of things I won't vape all day, but want around:
cobalt blue 15 ml

and the same ones in green for tests:

You can mitigate a lot of problems with a drop liquid flux from a needle tip bottle. A better iron will help too.
Just an eye dropper bottle. I bought this box on amazon, I think the amber bottles might be a little cheaper.
At first I really liked the standard pitcher, but I have come to greatly dislike it. Too many parts, too many little hard-to-reach surfaces that are impossible to clean 100%, too many leaks/spills from residue in the untwist/twist process.
A few months ago I needed to take my Soylent in to work, and I wasn't going to use the pitcher. I searched around a bit and purchased a tall 1.4L nalgene bottle off Amazon. I borrowed my roommates little wire ball (from his shaker bottle) and pushed it in.
All-in-all, it works quite well. Having a tool better than the original pitcher is far more convenient than I was expecting. However the 1.4L concentrates the Soylent a bit too much. I've gotten used to it because I'm lazy but honestly I would prefer a better solution.
I'm switching my diet soon, so I will need my nalgene for water, and I think I will buy the 2L nalgene solid white container the other guy posted:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OBYW5G
2 pieces total, the nalgene lid tightness on my 1.4L bottle is REALLY good (it's a pain sometimes lol), easy to clean, and not concentrating the solution would be much better.
And having a little shaker object in the container to break up the powder is excellent. I strongly recommend one.
Here you go. Dropper bottles. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KD76CO8?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
They came with some bottles I ordered on Amazon. VEEAPE 12pcs 15ml Steel Needle Soft PET Plastic Dropper Bottle Tip Glue Bottle with 6 Funnels, for E-liquids and Vape DIY https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H5HNPRC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_eK5YCb11FD8DF
Don’t use the bottles anymore. These ones are a real pain in the ass to squeeze, at least for me. But then I have arthritis in my hands. The bottle shown in the pic is far easier to use.
I think that sounds very flammable and overly complicated. a spray bottle with a narrow stream and alcohol would be better IMO.
[something like this] (https://cdn-img-1.wanelo.com/p/5f7/ae9/a08/989da9c15aefe6d6a9fae8e/x354-q80.jpg)

One of these are good for the range to clean out the salts. Makes it super easy.

Archiving some of the best bottles also allows me to move on to opening new bottles sooner. It helps that I have an almost unlimited supply of these spiffy, never used, 250 mL storage bottles.
http://www.amazon.com/PYREX-250mL-Round-Storage-Bottles/dp/B004XR5TIO/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1449923824&sr=8-12&keywords=250+ml+glass+bottles
You certainly can, but it's not necessary. You may discover an interesting flavor combination in the transition. :)
(Avoid transitioning from cookie dough to guava. Hard lesson learned.)
If you do clean your tank, plain water (or distilled if your water is particularly hard) works fine. I like to use a needle-tip bottle to pressure wash my tank.
I switched to Nalgene. No gaskets. Only two parts to clean, and they clean easily.
After every use I strip the airbrush down completely. I use a bottle like this:
https://www.amazon.com/ACM-Economy-Bottle-Squeeze-Medical/dp/B00WTHLR2M/
to blast water through the nozzle and to clean the excess paint out of the pot. I use a soft cloth to clean the needle. Once a month I soak the pot in simple green to clean out excess paint.
That's all I do and I've never had a clogged airbrush. The aircap I'm currently using is about a year old and the needle is over a year old.
Any cleaning procedure that leaves liquid in the aircap/nozzle will corrode the nozzle and shorten its life.
Nobody that mixes regrets buying the scales. American Weigh Scales LB-501 and Here's a quart of vg for $13. Get your pg there, too. Here is What you need to know about nicotine. Don't want to research recipes? Gremlin has ready to mix. A calculator. And get lots of bottles: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D1GV8LU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have been there. Since it's been 2.5 weeks, I'd say you're clear for any socket issues. I actually went out to Walmart and bought a DenTek tooth scraping kit... it was $5-7 at the time but it had some plastic scraping tools and gum stimulators inside. The rubber/plastic tips are spiky and perfect for gently poking things out of the holes. Then, flush. Also, a wash bottle is great, too but be careful with how much pressure you can stand. They just flush away :D
Here's some links to what these products look like. Should be able to find similar in a local big box retailer. Also, be very careful if you get the Dentek Kit. Home cleaning is great, but scraping can be damaging to your enamel & gums if you aren't sure what you're doing or how often to do it.

Fuck Keurigs! Just buy an AeroPress. It's so much cheaper per cup, is practically self cleaning, and makes better coffee. You can make it as strong as you want, and can even make espresso ("coffee concentrate" if you want to be very technical.) And you can use whatever coffee you want!
Rather than spending all that money on a fancy brewer, and then $1 per cup of coffee, buy a Zojirushi Boiler (or similar), and you can make coffee nearly as fast as with a Kurig. I don't mean within 15 seconds, but so short that you won't hesitate to make a cup. Or you can just nuke some water in a Pyrex measuring cup, but that takes 2-3 minutes.
I own that exact boiler and an AeroPress, and it's amazing. I have 195° water on tap all of the time, and the 4 qt one is tall enough to dispense right into an AeroPress on top of a tall mug.
I even use an AeroPress at work at my desk even though there's a Keurig available. I get hot water from the water dispenser (combo water cooler/heater that work provides), use the AeroPress normally, push the grounds into the waste basket, then wash the remaining grounds off of the plunger with a chemistry wash bottle right into the waste basket, too. (There's a trash bag in it, and it's not much water.)
Oh awesome. I didn't even think of using that type of bottle (the first one) I love it. I'm not sure if you saw it, but here's another option for the future maybe. Thanks again!
