Ever since I got the soft squeeze gorilla bottles from AliExpress, I've been a happy chappy. Never hade any leaks or mess or dripping or spills whatsoever. Best bottles ever. It's all I use.

Same here, I find that they don't last as long as the bottles with the black long nozzle and screw in cap.

My first batch of bottle that I bought was chubby gorilla. The plastic on one side of the bottle was thicker than the other side, then when you squeeze them it bends and dents, so only good for one mix, then throw away. Next batch I bought different make, think Unicorn, at least all side are same thickness. Havent had spillage problems yet, maybe I dont squeeze hard enough

The most practical I have found are these caps.

Some of the dips in papgooi, come in those, just smaller bottles, but they sometimes leak if they lying on their side, especially when its hot

These are the ones I use and lasts a bloody while before they break.

Why does no one in SA stock those HDPE chubby's? They look cool. Don't really wanna order a bunch from overseas and hope that SAPO don't mess up.

SAPO did mess it up. I waited 3 months for those bottles, but worth the wait. They're awesome!

Order in bulk and start selling to us

I like the bottles that Opus use, they are just perfect in every way. I consume a lot of their Glitch, so always have their 50ml empty bottles that I clean and de-label.

They always mess up with international post incoming.

The 60ml chubby where the tip comes off...
Lots of the internationals use them.
I've lost my cool and flung the bottle on more than one occasion.

I now have needle nose pliers specifically for retrieving the nozzle cap from the screw cap... hate that.

@CaliGuy How do you get the labels off? I've soaked bottles in warm water but those labels just don't come off!

They are a metallic like label. I just pull them off slowly. Never had any issues doing it this way but on stubborn stickers I have always had great success using the wife’s hairdryer.

@CaliGuy I wish everyone used those kinds of labels! The paper ones are difficult, if not impossible, to remove.

I only use the black Gorilla bottles for DIY and I've never had a problem, maybe they're different to the commercial juice bottles? I have had a commercial juice Gorilla bottle pop it's top on my mod in the past.

I love my gorilla bottles. For labels, use WD40 (spookpis). Removes any label easy.

Thanks for the tip @zadiac!

@Hooked I use Doom. I soak the bottle in water until the label is soft, then I remove most of the label and spray the bottle at close range with Doom. I then rub it with a paper towel and wash.

I use coconut oil to remove the stickiness and works very well, cheaper too.

Nice tip! For glass bottles, I use boiling water inside it and it comes off so easily.

While I like everything about the Gorilla v3 bottles, the only problem I have is that after dripping and setting the bottle down, there are two or three "pops" of juice that I can literally watch working their way up the needle tip spout. After a little while, it pools on the top of the spout cap. If I don't wipe these away, they drip down the side when re-dripping, or pool all around and into the threads when the bottle cap is on. Drives me crazy. The original v1 caps were far better..

just fill your tank or rda, the lick the rest off the bottle! but be sure not to share with anyone else after that!

Nothing beats these
R 1.86 from Bonpak for 100ml

I also often buy at wespack - but at 4x the price - guess who's busy googling "Bonpak"

I still hate Gorilla Bottles! They look great but so impractical!
