A Question for Consumers and Vendors

[Yagya]

the vendor replied to my mail, saying that if a bottle is filled to the brim it will hold 115ml and not 100ml. they also stated that this juice maker does not seal their bottles.
i do not have a scale to measure the bottle but will let it go for now.
i will however not buy liquid from vendors in the future that is not sealed.

Just to give you a range of colours which shows that even fresh mixes can be dark.

Here are some samples I’m sending to a buddy for blind tasting. The oldest ones are 2 months old (No 3 and No 14) and the freshest one is No 26 that is 15 days old, and already dark. They are mainly fruits and creams

its the 100ml Orion juice which i am sure was previously sealed when i purchased last.

I was at a vaperite which sells the Orion brand. The guys behind the counter opened a new bottle off the shelf to smell it. I didn't ask them to they just did it.

I suppose this plays into the expectation that vendors need to have a seal on the bottle so that staff cannot open or tamper with the bottles.

Even replenishing the air (opening it) and putting the bottle back on the shelf for a month will cause greater oxidation and a tiny little bit of flavor loss.

Some makers of eliquid put their juices through ultra sonic cleaners or hot baths during the steeping stage.

I'm fine with a hot bath up to 45 degrees Celsius but anything over will have long term negative effects on flavor.

Ultra sonic cleaners completely stuff a juice up on a molecular level causing rapid breakdown and flavor loss with possible bitterness developing.

The ultra sonic is fine for DIY but not for a juice that might sit 6 months before being sold.

I mix in these bottles only and I can confirm that is 100ml. I spoke to some manufacturers as well and they have told me that they make it to guarantee that 100mls of juice. Unfortunately I have seen slight inconsistencies where one manufacturers bottle will take 105mls and another 115mls. But the ones orion uses does take 115mls.

The new bottles we are all ordering have a seal on the twist lid. Unsealed bottles are going to be a thing of the past soon enough. When you open these you can FEEL as well as hear that satisfying tear of the seal being busted the first time.

Are these the same plastic bottles with the witch cap lids?

Clear glass with fine pipette. Has a good sealing ring no need for shrink wrap.

So not plastic? Glass vs plastic is the classic example of form vs function. Glass bottles get so messy and there is always a fear of breaking.
