i like glass jars best... small ones for like an 8th... w sealing tops, il b honest tho, for big batches i do like to just put it all in a peice of parchament paper and freeze it, easy storage no problem w transfer or transport, i like keeping my jar ina cooler w ice or on dry ice so it doesnt ever flow in transport.
Wow no one uses little liquid syringes besides me? Its a liquid you know. Premeasured also. Just pour large batches into a 100ml liquid syringe then squeeze into smaller ones for personal use. Use your hand to warm them up enough to flow. Store in cool dry light free space or even better the freezer.
mines not liquid at all, seems odd your is. is it IPA extract, or what?

the 420science oil jars are pretty nice.I got a few of them for presents to give to friends. I haven't had enough oil to even use the one I got though, perhaps one day.

Just picked up some oil slick pads and balls. The pads work remarkably well. While they resemble a silpat used for baking, apparently they have been manufactured to be much more resilient than the standard baking mats. They are solvent resistant and temperature suitable up to 500F.
I cleaned the pads with soap and water and let dry before use, as recommended by the manufacturer, to remove an silicone fibers that are on the outside of it.
Have use the pads for storing and shaping oil, but have yet to try the travel version, the oil slick balls. I cleaned one of them out but it retained a funky rubber smell (think bouncy ball), and it left me weary. It's strange because the pads exude no odor whatsoever once cleaned, but these little balls are tough. I washed them with soap and water and iso'd, but the smell is still there. I am leaving it out for a while in hopes that it will dissipate in time.
I'll get some pics up of the Slick pad later though,thing is so sweet, and way more durable and non-stick than parchment.
***For those of you that stopped using parchment due to lack of knowledge of butane/silicone reactions--I am using these to store my already been purged oil (purged on glass), which in theory contains no more solvent, thus leaving me with no such worries about alleged interactions. However, if you are still not down, that's fine, I just ask that everyone refrains from rehashing old content without bringing anything new to the table.
