120ml E-Liquid Bottle – What is it in Vaping?

Definition

A 120ml E-Liquid Bottle is the extra-large, value-sized container of VapeJuice“>vape juice preferred by Australian sub-ohm and rebuildable enthusiasts. Holding four times the volume of a standard 30 ml bottle, it delivers roughly 60–80 tank fills or 40–50 dual-coil drippers of flavoured e-liquid before running dry. Bottles are sold in 0 mg nicotine (ready to vape) or “doubler” form (half-filled, leaving space to add high-strength nicotine from nic shots). The large capacity slashes cost per millilitre, reduces plastic waste and keeps heavy vapers stocked for weeks without frequent re-orders.

Technical Details

Most 120 ml bottles are made from recyclable PET or squeezable LDPE with a 28 mm neck finish. Wall thickness (~0.7 mm) resists cracking when frozen for steeping. Child-resistant caps meet ISO 8317 and include a 1.2 mm dispensing nozzle that fits 14 mm drip tips and Thread“>510 thread RDA juice wells. Internal volume is calibrated to 125 ml to allow 4 ml head-space for thermal expansion. Labels list VG/PG ratio (commonly 70/30 or 50/50), batch number, expiry and mandatory AU nicotine warning if >0 mg. Tamper-evident ring and clear “best before” panel satisfy TGO 110 standards. Unopened shelf life is 24 months; once the seal is broken, oxidation begins—expect subtle colour darkening and 10 % flavour fade after 90 days.

Usage & Tips

• Steeping: Store upright in a cool, dark cupboard; shake weekly. Speed-steep by placing the closed bottle in a sealed zip-bag inside hot tap water (50 °C) for 15 min, repeat twice.
• Nicotine mixing: When using 100 mg/ml nic shots, add 24 ml to a 96 ml doubler to achieve 3 mg strength; use a 20 ml syringe for accuracy.
• Transfer: Decant 30 ml into a smaller unicorn bottle for daily carry—this prevents accidental loss of the entire supply.
• Common issue: Thick high-VG juice flows slowly in winter. Warm the bottle in your pocket or pop the cap ¼-turn to equalise pressure.
• Safety: Keep away from kids & pets; 120 ml represents a toxic dose if ingested. Lock in a high cupboard or toolbox.

History & Context

120 ml bottles emerged circa 2016 when American cloud-chasing brands sought to undercut boutique 30 ml pricing. Australian vendors adopted the format once TGA confirmed bottles >100 ml could still be sold nicotine-free under Poisons Standard, creating the popular “doubler” workaround for nic users. Today, 120 ml value lines dominate DIY and budget sectors, accounting for ~35 % of non-disposable e-liquid sales nationwide.
