GLASS OR PLASTIC BOTTLES FOR E-LIQUID?

Here we’ll talk about the differences between glass and plastic bottles for your e-liquid, the various materials available and their pros and cons.

Glass or plastic bottles for e-liquid? This was brought up in a Facebook group a couple of weeks ago so I thought it would be fun to chat about it here.

Let me just start by saying – There’s mad bro science in the vaping scene.

By that I mean, science that isn’t science at all. Thought up by people with little understanding of the various elements they tout information about. It gets on my tits. A lot of it kind of sounds like it could be true. It’s because of this that it is easily swallowed by the unsuspecting public who then regurgitate it ad infinitum until there’s 1000 people spouting the same bollocks that bares no relation with fact. Just look at flat earthers (don’t even get me started on those).

I like to use these blogs to dispel some of that misinformation wherever possible. Makes me feel good. The earth isn’t flat. Sorry fruit cakes, but it’s the truth.

I’ve seen people say that plastic bottles leach plastic into their e-liquid. I can only think that this myth was born years ago when LDPE bottles were commonly used for holding e-liquid. If you are using particularly volatile e-liquid (citrus, menthol…) and it is stored for long periods of time in LDPE bottles, there is a very, very slim possibility that the plastics could leach into your e-liquid. We no longer commonly use these sorts of bottles for e-liquid anymore. Short fills come in PET bottles mostly and almost everything else comes in HDPE or glass.
