Grrrr Needle Tip Bottles!!!

Any suggestions on cleaning squonk bottles. I’ve got both silicon and plastic. Tried hot water in a plastic one but can still faintly smell the juice in it. Soon as both new mods come in hopefully the plastic bottles will be backups for backups.  

Above all I prize comfort in vaping, which means easy filling, easy disassembling (for coil rebuilding), no leaks even if I leave my tank on its side or upside down for a few days. I do not need clouds and subohming. I My current everyday setup is RG280 or RGM2 – shielded glass tanks (tough to break) with protank coils (easy to rebuild). Not a single leak for half a year. But I’d like something which is a bit bigger than 2.8 ml (as for RG280) and does not need separate coil bases (as for protank).

I have tried couple RBAs. A while ago I have bought on impulse (do not drink and buy) Fogger V4. Found out it needs two coils (too many for me). I have tried to build with single coil (plugging not needed holes with cotton), it was not bad, but it was a bit leaking. With two coils – too cloudy. And its tiny butt hole plugged with Philips screw! Just for refilling I needed a needle-nosed bottle and a screwdriver! Not what I call comfortable. Recently I have bought Erlkönigin clone for $5 – I was ordering other things, it was on sale and I decided to try it, it was practically for free anyway. And I liked it, but not so much that to make it my prime time device. Two drawbacks: still needed needle nosed bottle and rather tough to disassemble (because of its press-fitting o-rings).

So, I am ready to try another RBA and I am asking on advice.

It must have:

- Single coil
- Easy to refill and disassemble

Desirable features:

- Filling with eye-dropper bottle (not with needle-nosed one)
- Ability to change coil without pouring out liquid (desirable, but not required)
- Glass tank (I just do not know when to add juice if I do not see its level)

And what can you say about this one, does it fit description of what I need?

Well, I just found 3 liters of 100 mg Throat-Hit Nic from Vapers Tek purchased in 2016. Of course they are still in their original plastic bottles. Uuuuug! The bottles are a not a hard plastic but instead pliable and appear to block light as they are a very dark brown color and on the bottom is stamped PETE 1.
What do you folks think? Keep em or chuck em?
It is a lot of NIC, at least for me... hate to check em, but if you think it's the way to go then so be it.

I was asked this question yesterday by a friend who remarked "Every time I visit you, you're playing around with your (ecig) stuff. How many hours a day do you *spend messing around with it?" (*I think he actually used the verb "waste", but I'll let his non-vaper's judgment slide for the sake of friendship)

I hadn't given it any thought till he said something, but it's true. Every time this friend drops by, he seems to catch me in the process of washing, building, wicking, or tinkering with something ecig related. After thinking about it, I'll estimate that I spend an average of 30 to 45 minutes a day tinkering. On a day like Sunday when I have a lot of free time, it's probably more like an hour and a half.

It's not that I have to devote that much time, I just enjoy the tinkering aspect (refilling my Kayfuns with needle-nosed bottles excepted. That part of it is pure tedium for me). But admittedly, that does seem like a lot of time. When it all adds up, it's like a full day out of every month that I spend just tinkering.

So, how much time do you spend washing, building, wicking, filling, swapping batteries, and generally tinkering with your stuff? This is NOT including actual vaping time, only tinkering.  

Just curious how you guys go about vaping through your juice bottles. I buy 30 ml bottles usually. I have a few tanks and dedicate a specific bottle to each tank. I make myself finish off a bottle before I go onto my next juices. If I decide to put a half bottle away and try a new flavor, I'd have a bunch of half bottles laying around and it would annoy the hell out of me.
I have a couple 60 mils on the way though, so I suppose I wouldn't mind stashing those halfway through. I suppose it could be way different for people that drip though.  

I have several Pro Tank II's and replaced the metal tips with plastic tips. Seems like the plastic tips fall off all the time. Has anyone used a dab of silicone glue to keep them from falling off? Does Fast Tech offer any tips that are not susceptible to falling off so easy? It isn't a tank issue as all of the Pro Tanks have this issue. Advice?  

I love the colorful resin drip tips. It seems like they keep getting wider and wider.

I am looking for colorful, nice drip 510 tips that are a bit narrower (not super skinny just not hugely wide).

Any recommendations or links?

Thanks  

I bought 2 bottles of PG and both have a bitter - sour taste. They are clear and odorless but When I put a drop on my tongue I must say it tasted very bad.
Which PG is best to buy without such a bad taste ?
I bought my bottles from Amazon.
I am tempted to buy a bottle of PG from essential Depot - Has someone tried this brand ?

The one thing i still have trouble with in my vape shopping is finding nice drip tips. Most unfortunately I live out in the 'burbs where there are no vape shops, let alone one with a large selection of drip tips that I can try on my RBAs live. I haven't found many vendors with what I would call a "great" selection of DTs, vapordna being one of them. I'm willing to pay a little extra to get a quality DT, I find it makes that bit of difference that can take a good set up and make it great. The few times I have ordered DTs from FT I found that I don't really end up using them either because they don't fit quite right, don't feel quite right, or suffer from lower quality in build and/or materials. The best luck I've had has been with vapordna's premium tip section but I know there are tips out there which are just as good at a far cheaper price. So I posit the question ... where do you get your tips?

Specifically I was recently at a B&M a few cities over looking at an HCigar Orchid clone and while I didn't care for the Orchid I loved the DT, I just couldn't justify buying an atty I'll never use just for the DT ... I don't like to collect things like that. It was a fat medium length SS tip with a delrin base/core and 2 O-rings. It fit like a glove in my SQR which I find has the most precise 510 drip bore of any of my toppers, which shouldn't come as any surprise since the SQR is Swiss  

I used this for a long time. Before you think ill stop you now, its not vaporz tongue, not change of tanks or wicking, no more or less nic, no changes. I have noticed since 4 previous bottles, since June that it just tastes awful now. I've gone off of it for a month and tried it again on a same sort of weather day "yes it kinda has a roll in taste" and still tastes the same ever since my June bottle. Now its just sitting on the shelf, amongst 20 other I never go to again bottles.

Is it just me or something?
