Storage bottles
Hello everyone. I was out shopping today and found something that maybe very useful. REI sells small (~15ml to 25ml) HDPE bottles, vials and dropper
bottles for a relatively good price. For those who don't know HDPE (Nalogen) is the kind of plastic most commonly used for chemical vials and
bottles. It can be used for storing nearly anything. Exception include Aqua Regia, and pirhanna solutions.
Elements Collected: 19/81 (Excluding all radioactive, using placecard for those)
Any tips or good sources are welcome.

I prefer to buy my Nalgene bottles at The Container Store. They're quite cheap there, and come in all shapes and sizes ranging from about 10 mL to
1000 mL. They have wide mouthed and narrow mouthed, and there's some that have misters, squirt tops, or droppers. Plus they have all kinds of other
useful organizational stuff there, as well as little display boxes that I use for displaying crystals and element samples. They have some neat glass
jars and bottles too, but they tend to be a bit pricey. I went by there yesterday and picked up a few different Nalgene bottles and some tiny funnels.
I can definitely spend lots of time (and money) there if I'm not careful.

I prefer to use glass bottles in which medical grade ethanol is sold in drugstores.
Smells like ammonia....

I stopped in REI 2 weeks ago to get a few. They had so many sizes and they were less than half the price of anywhere else I could find them. There
is a bad part about going to that store and seeing them. I spent 72 dollars getting a small bag full. They will be so useful

You can get those at Walmart also as Coghlan's Contain-Alls.
