are you UK?..and what size?
Iāve used Goof Off, orange oil, and boiling.
Goof Off was the easiest, most effective. Orange oil was more of a hassle but doesnāt leave me scrubbing the bottle with soap and water like the Goof Off (dunno if itās toxic, but I assumed it was). Boiling was the funniest (and probaly least effective). About 10% of my bottles that Iād saved for reusing were the kind of plastic you shouldnāt boil. You can tell this by the way they shrink and deform when heatedā¦
i use goo gone its yellow liguid that wipes it right off then i wash inside then boils
i use hot water it does the job but if its stubbirn like raspberry or mango i will use hot water and a drop of dawn then scrub with bottle cleaner brush then cap it and shake like crazy rinse well with hot water i dont reuse the caps or droppers ive bought new caps for the bottles and transfer juice into unicorn bottles for use after steep
Pugs1970 yes Iām uk 100ml and larger ie 200-250ml if they are made in that size
Acetone should remove the glue, pure or nail polish remover
ah yeah, if it was 30ml I could point you in the right direction but all the 100ml glass I found were ball point PITA droppers.
I scrape off as much of the label as I can then I use WD-40 to get the rest off
Holy Balls guys!!! Thanks SO much, I knew I could count on my people, itās an honor to belong to such a creative group of just good, wonderful human beings, I appreciate each and every one of you! Your integrity shines!!
@Pugs1970 @Wilkybob69 have you tried baldwins?
Or

Grubby yes Iāve tried Baldwins thatās where I got my 100ml bottles from but they have the bulbous tip and the hole is too small for my mixes I will try the other one thanks
cheers Grubby, Ampulla actually look good for 30ml dropper bottles AND they do straight droppers for 100ml too, when I was searching for bottles last year all they did was ball point so good to know.
The 30mlās actually work out about a quid less on an order of 50 inc shipping than my usual supplier, the only thing that worries me is that last year I bought a batch of 50 from another company and once some liquid got onto the thread of the bottle they actually undid themselves no matter how much you tightened them, I ended up giving refunds and apologies to people with very wet pockets
The only issue with using the 100ml glass bottles for mixing/steeping is I canāt get my mixer in there and thatās just a PITA to be pouring from one bottle to another, more cleaning up and you lose liquid that way.
In an ideal world I would need a wide top glass 100ml bottle with a straight dropper but I just donāt think they existā¦and of course then you have āno squeezingā thing.
I think I have found my āhappy placeā with the plastic PET unicorns from Chefs Flavours, I can heat them in water with no ill effects, they donāt leak (think you may of had a defective batch Grubby) and the mixer fits in there, I also have tried different flavours in the same cleaned out bottles with no residual flavours being left behind, perfect.
Iāve searched for a wide neck dropper bottle too and just canāt find one, I would like to get some 50ml bottles / jars with screw caps just for steeping then decant by pouring into smaller bottles when I want to vape, Iāll order some more unicorns and try again, thanks for the info
Using hot water fixes the molecules, cold water works better. Itās the same with washing your hands after cutting garlic, or for that matter removing stains out of clothes.
Oh, I didnāt know about that, thanks!
Learn something new almost every day here. Just finished pickling some jalapeƱos and my fingers smelled like garlic. Rinsed my hands with cold water voila garlic smell is gone. That works better than rubbing your hands on a stainless steel surface. Thank you!
You are very welcome, if I remember correctly, I got this nugget of information from this forum too
I must be the only oneā¦ I leave the labels on. As long as the inside is clean, I really donāt care what the outside look like. Well, Iāve gotten that way since I spent A LOT of time trying to get the labels off. It takes me long enough to clean the insidesā¦
Heat em up with a blowdryer (while they are dry and you are not in the tub) and the label comes off with the glueā¦no worries great for price stickers at Christmas time too.
A blow torch and an angle grinder
I havenāt had any real success with this method yet butā¦you get to play with a blow torchā¦and an angle grinder
