Reddit mentions: The best glassware & labware

Here is what I wrote out for this other guy,

Check our /r/diy_ejuice[1] great community lots of info and recipes!

Order the nicotine and your STARTER flavorings from https://wizardlabs.us[2]


Order either 60 or 100mg pg based(if you aren't allergic) nicotine for math reasons, they both calculate pretty even. Also the 100mg one will last a lot longer but it kind of depends on what is in stock.


For the flavors it's best to order your beginning ones there too until you know what you like,because they sell like same size ones for $1.99 (prob about enough for 80-140 milliliters depending on your preferred flavor %
once I knew what I wanted I started ordering from high desert vapes
https://highdesertvapes.com/categories/DIY/[3]
(they resell flavorings so you get a GOOD discount)


P. S. On HDV ellas=capellas (you have to order ellas sweet strawberry, my most ordered and one of my faves. I also recommend fruit stripe gum, but I forgot who made it it's a newer one I just picked up!)


Don't forget to order syringes and I accidentally ordered a shit ton of size 14 needles for them and it's really hard to pull up VG since it's so thick so get a bigger one for that. Also make sure before you use them that you put tape over the numbers because they will come off really fast if you don't.


I actually buy all of my PG and VG locally Walmart sells VG (if you are interested let me know and I'll send you a pic of what the bottle looks like) but it's in the skin ointment aisle.


Tractor supply company sells a gallon of PG for $23 best deal ever. I'm never running out! Lol
You'll need bottles as well (way more expensive than you'd think, there are some cheapish options on Amazon for like 50 10ml bottles.

Uhm.... I'm probably forgetting something any questions, just ask.


Edit: holy novel


Edit 2: I remembered something else, try and get familiar with the list of flavors known to crack tanks
http://discountvapers.com/liquids-and-tanks/[6]


Edit 3:links!


REAL EDIT: formatting, I usually use capellas but there are certain flavors that certain people do better. I'd say Capellas = fruit FW = dessert TFA = candy like Lorannes = Fruit candy like

and steeping I am really lazy and don't wait to vape and it still tastes pretty good. I'll make about 15 ml and it will just get better and better as it goes :D

I actually can't compare since I was an early adapter to DIY and I didn't ever ger into ordering juices online. I can tell you everyone I've let try it so far has LOVED it. you may want to tweak it a little for your own preferences like if you want it a little more cinnamon-y or a little sweeter but each person likes things a little different

Have you already ordered?

If not, I would also recommend Capella's Cool Mint (3.5% as a pairing, ~1% as a component). It is a very sweet mint that also adds body to mixes; almost like a mint honey. It is good to have on hand and would work well with several of your proposed recipes. That's different than say Gorilla Mint which is the straight-up mint you know in Mojitos or Inawera Shisha Fresh Mint that gives a dry but tasty cooling effect (not koolada) with little to no flavor (think TVC's Frosty/"Cool" juices).

One of the most common intermediate questions here is "How do I give my juices body?" Cool Mint is one of the flavors that does that well. Passion and stone fruits often have the same effect at very low levels, as can /u/Mercy404's suggestion of Strawberry Ripe in the right mix (which opens a whole other conversation on popular flavors vs affects).

You may also get some sucralose. It is a different type of sweetener and some people prefer it. It is harder on your coils, but it doesn't mute the flavors like EM. I use them both for different recipes.

[edit] - On the sweetener subject... I'd suggest using them at first. Building sweetness and body is really difficult. I don't consider any recipe complete until it is absent of sweeteners, but they certainly make them more enjoyable for regular vaping until you find those last 'special' bits.

Second, you are going to want A LOT of bottles. Just trust me. One of your primary concerns when starting should be to make mixing fast, fun, and extremely low maintenance. A big-ass bag of new bottles is an excellent, cheap step in that direction. Down the road you may want fancy Cobalt, but something like this is perfect to start.

___

Lastly, I do not see a scale in your order. I HIGHLY recommend you begin mixing by weight. I can't stress that enough. It is probably the single most important factor in how much you will enjoy mixing and the likelihood that you'll stick with the hobby. I have been mixing a long while and I've used all the different methods. Mixing by weight is soooo much nicer. It is faster, easier, more accurate, and there is zero cleanup. Most people will tell you that they started mixing more often once they switched. I personally found myself wandering away from the hobby until the switch. I had become tired of the cleanup and mess. Now it is pure joy again.

It is also cheaper than your alternative hardware budget. Even if you brush off everything above, please, buy a cheap scale.

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.

Cheers. Glad you liked it. Yeah Old Grad-dad 114 is good too. I find that it's much easier to find than Bonded Granddad, but 114 might sneak up on you pretty quick. It's super potent!

As far as the mixing glass goes, I like it. It has a wide mouth which makes it easy to muddle and a bit of a lip, which helps for pouring. The measurements aren't super helpful because it's in milliliters and I'm not usually mixing 200ml drinks. Haha. But the best part is the handle. It keeps my hand from warming the mixing glass by keeping it off the mixing glass.

They sell them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Catamount-Laboratory-Beaker-Mug/dp/B004GE8NSM

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.

I got my stuff in 18 days ago, and its been fantastic. I ended up spending ~$120, but I figured if I was going to do it I might as well do it right. Got a quart of PG and VG, bottles, gloves (definitely get gloves), nic, lots of syringes. Got different flavorings from wizardlabs. (You can see a list and some links here.) If you get bottles, this is a great deal.

Anyhow, not too far in, but I've been loving it. Make whatever concentration nic juice I want, been mixing small batches and still have a long ways to go. Its going to take forever to try different combinations, but I made a menthol strawberry last night that kicks some ass. Its nice having pretty much unlimited supply and being able to just try something out, and if it doesn't taste good its np because its cheap as hell.

Anyway, if you root around on /r/DIY_eJuice you'll prolly see that you should start with small % of flavor, but if you miss that, here it is again. I've been doing ~5-6% flavor and its pretty nice. I'm sure people have different tastes, and certain flavors may come out better at different concentrations, but start low and work your way up so you stay sensitive to them!

edit: got a dripping atomizer too, but I find that setting up an RBA with a tiny wick works best for trying new flavors. You only get a couple hits per drip, but you can just try burn it to clean out the juice.

I built this for about $20 (not including the erlenmeyer and the stir bar).

I got the cigar box a while back at a second hand store.

Here's the USB powered PC fan I used:
http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Mobile-Fan-External-Cooling/dp/B00080G0BK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381376532&sr=8-2&keywords=usb+pc+fan

I chose a usb fan so that I could power it with an android usb phone charger and not screw around with splicing wires.

Here's the magnets I used (just needed one though):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1M37MY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Aside from that it just took a few odd nuts, washers, and a bit of superglue. I had to bore the hole in top of the cigar box because the box turned out to be a bit too thick (sorry Pepin Garcia!) to get enough attraction between the magnet and the stir bar. I think I might have had better luck with stronger magnets or a different stir bar but oh well.

As someone suggested I first glued a washer to the fan so that I could move the magnet around a but to find the sweet spot where it didn't shake too bad then I glued the washer in place.

I used the long bolts/nuts that came with the fan to attach it to the lid (you can see the bolts in the first picture). Between the top of the fan and the lid I had to add washers to keep the fan from rubbing on the cigar box.

That's pretty much it. The fan has a variable speed control but I get a small vortex on the lowest setting, and higher settings throws the bar off the magnet.

Now I just need to wait for my soda preforms to show up so I can start saving a bit more yeast after I use the stir plate!
http://www.amazon.com/Soda-Bottle-Preforms-Caps-30/dp/B008MB1QNY/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1381377304&sr=1-1&keywords=bottle+preforms

I got the idea for using the soda preforms from here:

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:

• for elasticity: coffee bean oil, ylang ylang, blackberry, and vanilla (to make it smell like a real perfume mix), and I have some dill seed oil coming
  
• for skin firming & conditioning: lavender, frankincense, rose geranium + some citrus (grapefruit peel, bitter orange peel, bergamot, neroli, etc)
  
• and now I have added one for blemishes: tea tree oil, rosemary, lavender, thyme, plus whatever other skin conditioning antiseptic EO I can find
  
  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

Ha, I get questions about this any time I post something. The rack is from Back2base-ix they have all sorts of good stuff. Not the cheapest solution but it really is amazing for organizing the hobby area and adding some aesthetics to the area (which helps spark my creativity a lot personally). It does ship from the UK so expect some time for delivery and be aware that since it is acrylics there is always the small chance of damage. I had a tiny crack in one of the drawers that I just glued back together as it wasn't worth it to try and return/exchange.
The dropper bottles can be found on Amazon and Ebay. I pre-thin my GW paints to brush thickness and then transfer them to the droppers. So much easier for using a wet pallet and also for mixing into the airbrush. Hope that helps!

Nice collection man. Interested in Aberlour 12, Amrut Fusion, Balcones Single Malt, and Laddie 16. Afraid I don't have any of your ISO's, but here's my inventory. Lemme know if you like anything in there, I could work with you a bit.

EDIT: ok, checked you out a little and I see you're pretty new to not just this, but the whole Reddit thing. Forgive me if I'm telling you anything you already know. I'm talking 2 oz sample sample swaps, we use these around here. And just so you know since you're new you would be sending yours first, then I'd send my end of the swap after recieving yours. We've all started this way. If you're who you say you are, and your collection is legit, I'd love to try me some of that Laddie 16 and Amrut! Hopefully I got something you wanna try.

This is the complete set up.

And here is how to use it.

Bret Maverick has some good info on dewaxing.

As for those screens, i tend to question anything that i can see through. I cant tell you that those wont work. If they really are 25 micron then there is no arguing with that. The best reusable filter medium ive used is boro wool. As well as that i use the ashless paper filters.

Im honestly not sure what the exact ratio is for alcohol to oil but its an easy google search. Just make sure you use enough alcohol. Which is easy. Just use a bunch lol. Too much won't negatively effect it where too little will. Check out a few of those videos though. Buchners are easy to use but also easy to mess up.

My problem is its always easy to “if I have that it’s hardly any more to include this” myself into a monster pack

Bottle preforms are great small tubes for keeping things dry

https://www.amazon.com/Soda-Bottle-Preforms-Caps-30/dp/B008MB1QNY

For a while you could buy redbull shots. They were a great small container as well

edit:correcting formatting.
Edit 2: always put rolls of tape in a baggy. When theyre hot they can ooze adhesive and make your kit a mess

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 can type up what I did really quickly.

1. Ensure your dropper bottle is clean, the top is off, and this is over a stable surface. Also ensure the surface is easily cleaned if there is a spill. I have a glass desk I use as my hobby station, yet for those who don't do what you feel you need to.
   
   
2. Use a funnel so that you can pour out and capture as much paint as possible.
   
   
3. Open up the GW paint and add in some medium to thin it as much as you feel you need to. I do this to get it the consistency that Duncan has and then pour it out into the bottle.
   
   
4. Once the paint has been transferred put the GW container to the side, remove the funnel, cap and close the dropper bottle, and you are done! If you want to remember what kind of paint it was just peel off the GW paint label and put it on the outside of the dropper bottle.
   
   Hope this helps anyone who is interested in using dropper bottles.

Washing my face while getting everything wet irked me too, so I looked on ebay and found my solution. I nowuse a "lab wash bottle" with a bent spout. Mine is around 500ml. Here is one similar @ amazon. I fill it up once then turn off water at sink. Once I wipe off my oil cleanser, I lather up my foaming cleanser in my hand & after massaging my face to clean it, I just bend over sink and point the nozzle at my face & squeeze bottle to rinse my face. It's super easy & I don't waste water. No wet sleeves or floor. :)

I do a similar thing, but these are the tubes I use. I bought two sets of them several years ago and they still work great. I replace the caps every so often. For the rack, I just keep them in six pack holders and put them in the keezer. I fill the unused vials with StarSan solution and store them that way.

I'd also like to add that, after I have racked a new beer into the fermentor, I pour the leftover trub into a mason jar, and then let it sit in the fridge for a day. Usually the trub separates to the bottom leaving a fair bit of usable wort. I give it another quick boil just to make sure its sterile and then make a small starter of something. After pouring off much of the beer, I can usually get about 10 vials of slurry.

I am struggling with this too, so I will take notes from this thread (thank you).

What I am doing thus far:

tampon flasks because I found them online and thought they were hilarious, and my girls are similarly natured

A mini bottle of her favorite alcohol for each lady (they are all of age)

Custom compact mirrors that I found on etsy; I can customize one for each gal based on her interests (one is getting a disney themed, one is getting PSU, etc)

A necklace to wear for the wedding (so technically not a gift, but they are beautiful so hopefully they will like them anyhow)

Also providing mani/pedi the day before (well my MIL is gifting this to us, so SHE is providing that), hair and makeup for the service, and getting ready food (breakfast and lunch).

As far as other gift ideas though, I am completely clueless. I wanted to make little gift boxes or wedding survival kits for each of them, but I dunno yet.

Just winterize it, use a cheap vacuum pump and get a 40$ Buchner off Amazon they come with the filter paper, hose and everything you’ll need, dissolve the finger hash into warm ethanol let it cool and add dry ice when it’s done reacting run it through the filter. Evap the ethanol and you’re left with a concentrate that is plant matter free.

There are much better methods to do this, like freezing the material over 24hrs with dry ice, but, this is super fast and you’ll be done in just a few hours.

Here’s a link to a filter on amazon super cheap and easy.

Filter Flask Set, 500ml with... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007XG77Y6?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

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 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.

As the other comment said, Isopropyl Alcohol. It's recommended you get something higher than 90%. A bottle of 91% IPA is available at Walmart for $2.50. I bought that 32oz bottle when I first got my printer and I've maybe only used about 2/3 of it so far so it'll last you quite a while.

I dispense mine from a squeeze bottle like this onto the print bed and then wipe it down with a clean paper towel. Feel free to ask more questions if you have any. I'll be happy to answer :)

I work in a shop where sheet metal is readily available, and scrap is ok to use for whatever we want.

A 120v muffin fan came into my possession by means I do not remember. I glued a neodymium magnet from a dead hard drive to the fan, and built an enclosure to which I mounted the fan, and a 120v dimmer switch to control the speed of said fan.

I then purchased stir bars, to stir the starter in a 2 liter Erlenmeyer flask.

I bought a dimmer switch at Home Depot, and I get an amazing turbination in my starters.


The result is an inexpensive alternative to commercially available stir plates.

Paid $45.00 for the flask, $7.00 for the switch, maybe $9.00 for the stir bars, but the satisfaction of seeing the thing work, and work well, was so validating and fun to do!

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

Why yes I did except for a few technical paints. I took a solid day to do and it's not that hard though in my case many of my paints were harder and needed severe watering down so right now they are not in the best of shape BUT if you'rs are in good shape should be no problem!

Here is what I used:

https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Dropper-dropping-Bottles-Removable/dp/B00V479TVE/ref=sr_1_20?crid=3AH1GI9Q6GALS&keywords=dropper%2Bbottle&qid=1555967511&s=gateway&sprefix=dropper%2B%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-20&th=1

And you can throw in stainless steel ball bearings as a mixer as well but I got a bad batch that ended up rusting cause it was a lie lmao. But the bottles and the funnel are the only items you really need. For getting paint out you could get nice metal scrapping tools to help with the process.

Like I said it takes time but was worth it when I did it.

>Almost like it's too full to empty, if that makes sense?

This is totally a possibility. The bladder is a muscle that is triggered to contract (and thereby pee) when it is stretched out by urine. If it gets too full, it can lose some the sensation and have a hard time contracting effectively.

Some tricks for reluctant bladders (sorry if formatting's wonky, I'm on mobile):

Use a peri bottle to get the flow started. Fill it with warm (not hot) water and gently run it over your lady bits to help the stream start. This will be great postpartum too, especially if you have stitches to mitigate stinging sensation.

Take slow deep breaths and blow out slowly with slightly pursed lips like you're blowing bubbles.


Put a couple drops of peppermint oil in the bowl of the toilet . (Not on your lady bits! Just near the front of the bowl on the porcelain above the water line)

If you're still having a hard time, sometimes sitting backwards on the toilet so you are straddling it can help change the angle and make it easier.

All that said, I would still definitely recommend mentioning this to your OB just in case it is a UTI or something else out of the norm going on. Bladder issues left untreated can turn into much worse problems.

Hey, thanks! Yes, that's the one I was thinking of. I just couldn't find it. Idk about better though. They're different for sure, but they're both made from bottle preforms, so the tube strength should be the same.

  So, with the pocket reel, you get 4 hooks instead of 6, 1 bobber instead of 2, 4 sinkers instead of 8, metal spinners instead of jigs, but almost twice as much line and a "knot guide".
  
  Seems like about a wash to me. I should note that I don't have a horse in this race, I've never used either and am not affiliated with either shop. The kit I posted was one I found a month or so ago while looking for the one you posted.
  
  Personally, I went with neither and just bought some bottle preforms for about a buck a piece, filled a couple with the fishing gear I already had and used the rest for other camping gear: spices/oil for cooking, match case, pill bottles, tinder case, etc.

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.

has anyone used this style for butt washing? most ul bidet solutions are just nozzles that attach to water bottles, but I cant get over the mental hurdle of getting my water bottle near my asshole everyday. thinking I want something with a dedicated bottle: ACM Economy Wash Bottle, LDPE, Squeeze Bottle Medical Label Tattoo (250ml / 8oz / 1 Bottle)

​

how's the squirt? what size would be best? any lighter options (this one says 1.12oz)?

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.
[This] (http://www.amazon.com/Darice-Needle-Applicator-Plastic-1-Ounce/dp/B000PD0BNI/ref=pd_tcs_compl_hg_65?ie=UTF8&refRID=0XEHBVKEJY7T43MRTKRM) looks like a valid alternative.

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

My body type is Erlenmeyer flask and let me tell you, it is extremely difficult to find clothes that fit when you have size 15 feet, huge cankles, and size 20AAAA boobs. So glad wide leg pants are coming back in because they’re perfect for my inverted ice cream cone legs 😍

Let's see.. my 5ml sampler bottles are these from FastTech though similar ones can be found elsewhere. The problem with those is that the needle is too small for 50/50 liquids when used to fill a tank. I haven't been able to find these needle tip bottles with, say, a 16 or 18 gauge. But I only use these small 5ml guys for testing (read: dripping) so they work just fine (no need to dispense 1-2ml at a time).

I've also got a ton of vktech bottles via Amazon. I couldn't pass these up for 12-15 cents each. They're not high quality, but they get the job done. The dropper plugs flow very well and they can be easily modified for faster flow (dispensing VG). They aren't great for filling tanks with the larger than normal tip, though. Quite a few people have received unusable, poor quality bottles, but I think that has a lot to do with the source. The ones I bought were "shipped and sold" by vktech, though you'll notice other sellers on that Amazon page - there must be a range of quality available from these different sellers. All the reviews get lumped together, adding uncertainty.

My favorite plastic bottles for normal use are these from Heartland Vapes. It's all about the plastic needle tip on those - so nice for filling tanks with smallish fill ports. I believe the plastic bottles that Wizard Labs carries currently also have this plastic needle tip, though it's not reflected in their photos.You can also find this style of tip over on FastTech. If they fit your existing bottles well, a nice retrofit. Though the longer tip will probably hinder your existing overcaps.

I water mine with this: ACM Economy Wash Bottle, LDPE, Squeeze Bottle Medical Label Tattoo (250ml / 8oz / 1 Bottle) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WTHLR18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6M-BDbHY9AXQJ

It’s awesome!! Good luck 👍

Ok, while I support the responses you got from others, you seem to still need a solution to your dilemma.

Your description seems to be the paint drying before it hits the plastic. Perfect is the paint dries shortly after it hits the plastic.

You likely have too much thinner, and need a retarder to slow down the drying. It takes very little (like 2% by volume) and it makes a huge difference. Another option is to use Mr Color Leveling Thinner as it has a retarder already in it.

Mix separate from your paints. I premix in a dropper bottle so I can put as much as I need for each job.

I used these bottles. They're holding up really well. I added flow aid and airbrush thinner to the pots after I transferred as much as I could undiluted. Ended up putting around 20 or so drops of each into the pots and transferring the remainder of the paint that way. I didn't use a funnel cause I didn't want to have to clean it between paints. It took around 6 hours to do but the dropper tops can be easily removed to add more paint in the future as needed. It has really been a time saver.

That's my assumption too, that the roots are still shallow. Perhaps alternating between top and bottom watering for a while would help encourage them to grow out without causing dehydration? I use a precision squeeze bottle like this and it does help with avoiding leaves to an extent: https://www.amazon.com/Economy-Bottle-Squeeze-Medical-Tattoo/dp/B00WTHLR18/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=squeeze+bottle&qid=1572211503&sr=8-10

Here's a link to those tubes. They're pretty common, you might be able to find a better price than that.

They're food-grade (obviously) so they supposedly work well. Haven't used them myself though. These should only be used for starters though. After storage you're likely not going to have enough viability in a single vial for a healthy pitch.

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:

• Use plain bleach (nothing scented or such).
  
• I used two drops of bleach per 1 liter of water, shake and wait 30 minutes, following directions from the EPA Note: some sources suggest using as much as 5 drops of bleach per 1 liter of water
  
• I carried an eye dropper filled with bleach. A lot of water was clear enough to scoop directly into a water bottle, drop in bleach, shake and watch 30 minutes. If the water had stuff in it, we'd scoop dirty water into a pot and then filter through a bandana into a water bottle.
  
  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!).
  
  
  
  

I'm glad I'm not alone at least, lol. Does yours also start after a while of vaping (30-90min) rather than immediately?

No unicorns, I am using the bottles in the link below.

Let see if we can find commonality, I am using:

• 1.2ml 48mg/ml Nude Nic 100% PG, (last test was with NudeArmor v3, previous tests were not)
  
• 6ml PG from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PZBRUC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• top off to 30ml VG from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PYSNCS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Bottles from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026K1YCK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  This is all the same ingredients I use to make regular flavored juice. The only difference is instead of adding 5.1ml of flavor and 0.8ml of PG I'm, adding 6ml of PG.

A beaker mug. A friend gave me one when I told him I was going to become a teacher, I am a former research chemist so it was perfect.

Like this. https://www.amazon.ca/Catamount-Laboratory-Beaker-Mug/dp/B004GE8NSM

Turns out they're fairly cheap on Amazon but I don't see the exact one.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GE8NSM/

Alternatively this beaker mug is pretty sweet too.

Seconding the other commenter's suggesting dupes! I do this for the gym because the gym is my boyfriend. I bought a load of tiny containers (these and these on Amazon) and had a really fun time decanting and labeling everything and so far they work great!

Maybe stop by a laboratory supply store and grab a lab squirt bottle, I hate rubbing anything on a pcb that might leave little bits behind (even though people use q tips all the time,) though it's likely this residue won't simply lift away. Spray bottle will be good for in the pci-e slot and such.

https://www.amazon.com/Economy-Bottle-Squeeze-Medical-Tattoo/dp/B00WTHLR18/ref=asc_df_B00WTHLR18/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198059287844&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12565168165468540085&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9019550&hvtargid=pla-385033840497&psc=1

Totally disassemble everything and spray it down. Consider doing it over a tray to recapture the alcohol for reuse if it's not overly cloudy, and finish with a rinse using fresh alcohol.

Pretend like this is a brand new PC. you just acquired all the parts to put it together, but there's one tiny jumper SOMEWHERE on the board that will short everything and brick it. You just gotta clean it all and it's a perfect PC again!
Also a chance to redo that annoying bit of cable management that you didn't notice you messed up, and was too minor to take it apart for.

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.

Outside of basic equipment like pots, fermenters and chillers, the 2 most impactful things that will make his beer better are the following:

1. The ability to control the temperature of his fermenting beer. So, if you can get a cheapo chest freezer to put in the basement (if you have a basement) and a cheap temp contoller (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015E2UFGM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). You can find a new chest freezer for around $150 or even less if you search craigslist.
   
   
2. Pitching the proper amount of yeast. You can get him a 2 L flask (https://www.amazon.com/PYREX-Narrow-Mouth-Erlenmeyer-Flasks/dp/B004XR5W5E/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1488125537&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=2+l+flask+erlenmeyer) and a stir plate.... I think these are cool (http://craftstirplates.com). He'd need a stir bar too.
   
   

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

I got my erlenmeyer flask on Amazon. I strongly encourage the actual Pyrex brand, I have an off-brand 1L flask and bought a Pyrex 2L flask, the quality difference is pretty staggering.

Here's the one I bought.

Plastic Pipettes

edit: Plastic Dropper Bottles Personally wouldn't store prethinned lacquers and solvent-based acrylics (Mr. Color, Gaia Notes, Tamiya) this way long term, but definitely okay for water-based acrylics or acrylic-polyurethanes like Vallejo, Badger, Citadel, etc.

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!

Oh wow, I'll have to give these a go. I've been using a few of the Nalgene Travel Bottle Kit bottles for olive oil, hot sauce, etc, and soda bottle pre-forms for batteries and some other stuff. But they're too big for most things like seasoning/spices, and not big enough for stuff like pancake mix.

You really do need to get all these factors right for light colored oil. The colder the initial wash, the cleaner the material, the fresher the material, the quicker the wash... the less necessary filtration will be. That said, if you need to filter it, pouring through a coffee filter doesn't really do much for color.

Take it easy on the AC, it can color your solution a bit red. Use it sparingly just to remove the green.

Freeze everything. If you can run the filter inside a freezer, do it.

-Bentonite catches water soluble stuff like lipids and waxes.

-Activated Carbon bonds to the chlorophyll

-DE/Celite catches the AC which holds onto the chlorophyll, along with other smallest contaminants

-The filter disk retains all this material in the funnel

Short answer if you just freeze yeast the freezing water solidifies and punctures cell wells, killing most of the yeast.

Long answer if you add a 50/50 solution of (water or beer) with food grade glycerin the water will get cold but never freeze.

My process:

Harvest yeast- overbuilding a starter is the easiest way or you could harvest and wash your yeast.

Decant Beer from your starter or use water and half fill a 1 pt mason jar and top off the rest with food grade glycerin. Boiling at this point is probably unnecessary but I do it anyway just to make sure no bugs get transferred in. Cool.

I then spray everything I use with Starsan and then dip everything I’m using in to the boiling water.

I use Soda Preforms but will switch to 1.5 ounce glasses once I burn through my preforms because I can boil them killing anything and not have to worry about melting plastic plus they’re cheaper.

I fill them halfway with my Decanted Yeast Slurry and let it settle. You want the settled yeast to be about half of the Preform which is approximately 100 billion cells. I then Decant excess liquid off and top off with your 50/50 (Water or starter beer) and glycerin.

Cap/Label place in an insulated bag with an ice pack to protect from freezing/thaw cycles and place in the freezer.

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.
http://www.amazon.com/Glass-Vials-Dram-Pack-12/dp/B002JV89OC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412119689&sr=8-2&keywords=GLASS+VIAL

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.)

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.

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've ordered these in the past. Take your time, it's the holidays, busiest time of the year. Glad to help, and I look forward to the swap.

my baseline general water gig: 2x 1L smart/life bottles dirty, 1x 700mL smart/life clean. Have sports caps on sawyer and 700mL.

I thread my bidet cap thing right onto a dirty bottle. Between the angle I use it at shooting backwards between legs and the 'L' angle of the bidet nozzle thing like these I cannot possibly fathom poo flecks getting into the bottle.

add in a 2L CNOC next if I need more capacity, then adding a third dirty 1L for the PCT this year. Maybe get crazy with it and swap a 1L for a clean 700mL and carry both on shoulder straps

​

ninja edit: also won't catch me dead without my 3.7g capri sun water scoop. lets me fill all my capacity to the tippy top even with just a trickle on the surface of a rock or less than 1 inch puddle

edit2: so as not to propagate bad practices, see u/reset2pt0 's comments in this thread about dirty vs clean water for bidet-ing so that you can make an informed decision on how best to splash your leather cheerio clean

In this case I would take it off the stir plate and use a sanitized funnel to transfer the whole starter into a sanitized growler. Stick the growler in the fridge and reclaim your flask for the next starter.

I bought this flask and it has served me well. I highly recommend it (& free shipping to boot).

For less than the price of two shade bottles you can ensure you’ll never lose another drop. 2 because you purchased the one that spilled and the one that you’ll replace.

Happy painting.

I laughed out loud at that last bit! I have one similar to the second one (just squeeze, no battery), but I found that fancier doesn't mean better. Literally just this plain ol squeeze bottle was way easier to use, aim, clean, etc (https://www.amazon.com/Medline-MEDDYND70125-Cleansing-Bottle-8oz/dp/B01M2BKNLE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1526059814&sr=8-5&keywords=squirt+bottle)

I have a bunch of plants on a shelf and I like to water them with a wash bottle, like the kind they use in science labs. Something like this. It gives a lot of control over where the water goes and keeps the plants leaves dry.

But ya! This is an extreme level of plants on a shelf staged for IG!

Good luck with that. Alternatively I found something similar on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Dropper-dropping-Bottles-Removable/dp/B00V479TVE/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1537750218&sr=8-3&keywords=plastic+dropper+bottle

​

These are $7.86 for 50

THESE are cheaper and more durable/waterproof. A little bit of spray paint or camo tape and it blends in just as well as the other mentioned containers. In my area we have a lot of waterways and these make GREAT paddle caches.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OT7I0U2/ref=sr_ph_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1486410646&sr=sr-1&keywords=15ml+dropper+bottle

yeah, i ordered about 100 last time, got like 40 left. I also got some nail polish agitators which work in these well enough. I just ordered another 250 agitators as I need to add them to my Vallejo and Army painter paints. Plus there's some paints where the consistency makes me want to toss like 2 in.

They aren't perfect - I largely discard the lower ring that the cap is attached to. Also sometimes the caps are fused and might need to be cut free. So your likely going to loose like 4-5 to attrition. Plan accordingly. 15ml should be sufficient, I believe the other companies are using 17ml for theirs. Also don't fill it past the upper area. To make life easier I also processed all the caps, put the tips in a baggie, then put agitators in all the bottles and capped them. This makes bottling stuff later pretty easy.

These fit nicely in your purse, and security never messes with them too closely.

>so I have just had a brilliant idea for hiding booze: inside a fake tampon applicator. They'll never know! I'm so grossed out at myself for even thinking of this.

Also, I use these 10ml dropper bottles for certain liquids. They're great for decanting foundation and skincare!

1. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CLBWRCA?pc_redir=1407856945&robot_redir=1 It's a tube where you pour alcohol in it and put it in a faux tampon wrapper so you can sneak it around. In my case, I've used it to put my blunts in it for my boyfriend and I for Mad Decent Block Party this Saturday. (Currently on a t-break, excited to smoke again in a couple of days!)
   
   
2. Yes! I love that picture. I bought it from Salvation Army a couple years back. I use it as my blunt rolling station.

I’ve been freezing yeast for a couple years. The process in that link is a lot more complicated then it needs to be.

I use a variation of this process.

1. Build a 2L starter like normal.
   
2. Once Fermentation is complete cold crash and decant.
   
3. Fill 3/4 of a preform, lightly screw on the cap and place in the fridge.
   
4. Revisit the next day and decant till you have 1/2 filled with compacted yeast.
   
5. Top off with 1/2 Beer, 1/2 food grade glycerin.
   
6. Screw on lid, label, shake and place in freezer.
   
   Tips
   You’ll want to be as sanitary as possible.
   I can reliably fill 4 soda preforms.
   I’d recommend one have a different color cap to let you know you’re almost out of that particular yeast strain.
   I keep the beer/glycerin mixture in a mason jar and bring it to a boil from time to time since you won’t use as much of it as you’d expect.
   Save used preforms to re-use.
   Only do this for yeast you’ll use or have a hard time getting ahold of. You’re not saving money by saving yeast you’ll never use.
   If I plan on reusing yeast within 6 months I’ll wash the yeast and place in a mason jar.
   In my experience it takes the yeast a day or two longer to wake up once pitched into a starter. Make sure you build that time into your brew schedule.

Rather than remove the foil seal completely, I poke a hole in it with a toothpick. Works pretty nicely.

For a more controlled alternative, Wash bottles are fairly inexpensive and can hold a wide variety of liquids.

Have you considered bottle blanks? Pretty cheap option and just like what White labs used for years. Bottle Blanks

I use these.

Citadel pots are 12ml. These are 15. Add a few drops of liquitex flow improver to get the last of the paint out of the bottle and to make your paints flow better.

I've found it's easier to smuggle alcohol in if you're female. The giant purse I carry to events is a black hole. Most guards only give it a cursory glace through. So if you're not female, get a female friend to do you a solid and sneak the booze in.

now you just have to hide it..but it would fit very well in your anal cavity.

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.

Soda Bottle Preforms and Caps (30/pk) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MB1QNY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kRgwCbRD41AA3

“All plastic soda or "pop" bottles start as a small plastic tube called a preform. When this preform is heated and blown into a bottle shape, it is ready to be filled with your favorite carbonated beverage.”

I usually go 100 billion - same as comes in a commercial yeast pack.

I save them back in my original White Labs vial, or in one of these.

I think that sounds very flammable and overly complicated. a spray bottle with a narrow stream and alcohol would be better IMO.

I’ve also thought those plastic scientific bottles with the long stem would work well, too, as a hand held bidet. Wash Bottle LDPE Bottle with Narrow Mouth 250ml 500ml (Pack of 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073J55373/

I made some for my first baby (pads + witch hazel + aloe gel) but I never used them. The hospital sent me home with witch hazel pads and Dermoplast spray, that was all I needed. One thing that really did help was to have an extra squeeze bottle for post partum cleansing since you can't wipe for a while. The hospital sent me home with one but I had another on hand just in case and it was handy to throw in the diaper bag when we left the house.

Definitely looks like a geocache made from a soda bottle preform. would explain the 'fish eye lens' and the soda bottle style cap.

I use this and it works great.

i recently got those for my trip to Vancouver. i think those are great for serum and FTE.

Tip: While you in California, you should visit Daiso. They have cheap air pump container and also regular decant stuff.

12oz bottles for medium and flow aid (though these do NOT have caps, so personally I'd find something else at a local Michael's or art supply store).

30ml bottles - these are perfect for individual washes.

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.

why dont you buy this. I know a few of my friends did it plenty of times and got it all in flawlessly

https://www.amazon.com/Booze-Tubes-Tampon-Wrappers-1-Ounce/dp/B00CLBWRCA

Honestly, don't. Skip any starters as they are all generally over priced. Just buy things separately.

Amazon:

VG


Scale

30mL Bottle if you need some for concentrates, nicotine, VG, PG, etc. Or just to put your juice in.

Cheap Pipettes

I prefer citadel over all. I use the citadel Colour app to help with the color choice and how to apply. I do use Vallejo when I need an air brush version of a color that Citadel doesn’t have or for priming.

I understand the stance you have on the pricing with citadel, but you can make that line of paint last longer.

Head to amazon and order these items
15ml dropper bottles
1ml needless syringe
flow aid
small stainless steel ball baring

By following the steps in this video on YouTube I was able to transfer all my base and layer paints to dropper bottles. Now I can limit how much paint I’m wasting to a minimum. Because like you said, they can be expensive

Where can I get a mug like that?

Edit: I found some.

I've heard somewhere somebody suggested soda bottle preforms. I've no experience with them but seems a good idea for making slants.
http://www.amazon.com/Soda-Bottle-Preforms-Caps-30/dp/B008MB1QNY

They are soda bottle preforms (or "baby soda bottles,) which are uninflated 2 liter soda bottles. Available here and on Amazon, and other places.

I must say that posting a "these just arrived in the mail" without providing a source is a little less helpful that it might be. OP? Your source?

Personally, i bought some soda bottle preforms (https://www.amazon.com/Soda-Bottle-Preforms-Caps-30/dp/B008MB1QNY) and overbuild starters, save a vial or two, and use that to rebuild starters. Havent bought yeast in a hot minute.

I've bought from ieasysexy, 10ml bottles and 50ml bottles.

And I got 30mls from vktech and they were also good.

Both quite cheap and I got them with prime shipping

Edit: the vendors change their name or stop selling all the time. Just search for whatever size and put dropper bottle: 10ml dropper bottle

Glad to hear! They'll look really cool with more contrast. One other thing that has really helped me use acrylics is I bought dropper bottles so I can thin and mix my paints, then put them in the bottles. They keep a long time and you can measure drops for mixing or thinning. Just need something inside to agitate.

Have to use an Erlenmeyer Flask, much better distance.

In case you need a permanent handle plus, its a little bigger, and I would be worried about cross contamination. All that being said, I like your solution and the idea of drinking out of a beaker!

Then why not get a bottle with a dropper? Like this

About two hours and only around 20 bucks! Here the the links to what I used.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01COLW9IS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (10ml bottles, good enough but next time I might spring for 30ml)

Smart to have an actual tube of lotion.

If I was a girl I’d use these tampon flasks

Get a few of these! Hmm, might be worth stocking up on other common postpartum comfort items--a lot of folks recommend sitting on menstrual pads that have been soaked in witch hazel and/or stuck in the freezer, for example.

2 litre soda bottles actually are shipped as preforms that can be expanded before they are filled. I guess heating them up without pressure returns them towards their original size?

Empty drippers?

I've been using these

Some people say they don't like them, they're a bit cheap and they're not child resistant, but they are cheap and work well and I haven't had any split or break. I've carried some of them in my pocket for months.

Or you can spend quite a bit more and get these

Which are the same kind name brand bottles that Mount Baker Vapor and many other juice companies use.

I have a Pyrex 2L flask (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004XR5W5E) looking to upgrade for larger starters. Mind if I ask what you're using for the 3L starters and if you would recommend it?

ACM Economy Wash Bottle, LDPE,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WTHLR18?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I use this to keep the plants that like their soil to stay moist, or plants that don't like moisture on their leaves! Really handy little tool

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.

If you will allow me a little tangent in the direction of /r/wine, then this one (warning: Amazon link, in case you don't want it in your history) works well as a wine decanter. It's large enough for a magnum, but wide enough for aerating a 750mL bottle, which is why I prefer it for the regular sized bottles.

Edit

They are commonly called test tubes, and used as such in an amateur setting. They are also known as this other thing though. The original intended purpose.

You can mitigate a lot of problems with a drop liquid flux from a needle tip bottle. A better iron will help too.

Put paints into dropper bottles, with a tiny bit of flow improver. Use only what you need.

This is a copied comment on paint thinning from a previous post of mine:

Here's what I do. It saves paint and gets a nice paint consistency.

Buy some 30ml dropper bottles (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0026K1YCK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_hY2ryb932CQ8S)

Fill a dropper with distilled water (available at most grocery stores)

I use a piece of poster board cut into small 6"X4" "pallettes"

I put down a drop (two max) of paint. If using paint that isn't in droppers it's usually a brushfull or so... Or you can move your paint into the dropper bottles mentioned above)

I then put down an equal amount of water right on top of the paint and mix until it's all combined, try to avoid too much spreading around on the paper to minimize wasted paint.

Each time I draw paint onto my brush from the paper I then wipe a bit of it off on the paper to make sure my brush isn't over loaded.

The paper pallettes are nice because you never have to mess with cleaning them. Use the paint you need and when the sheet is full throw it out (or sometimes you can even flip it over and use the back to get a little more life out of them)

If you don't have a vape yet, get an Arizer, you won't regret it.

As far as containers go, check out bottle preforms. I bough a 100pk of these years ago and still have half

Order some alprazolam powder from Oxymorpheus (evo... he's my go to guy, might be out of stock for a week or 2 though) or JimmyTheGent (spelling? but heard good things about his stuff) and volumetrically dose it into a solution of PG (http://www.amazon.com/Propylene-Glycol-Food-Grade-Quart/dp/B005PZBRUC/) in a dropper bottle (http://www.amazon.com/Vktech-10ml-Dropper-Bottles-Plastic/dp/B00D2MPVUM/) so that one drop = 1 mg or whatever you prefer.... I believe there is a FAQ on volumetrically dosing on /r/drugs (sorry I'm lazy you can find it yourself using that search thingy haha).
