I'd like to use these bottles for essential oils but concentrated oil can eat away at the plastic. Are the plastic parts able to hold up against that?

I read on another review that they held up, but i just got these a few days ago. So far they have worked better than other sprayers, but they are still new. Good luck!

I've only used it every other day for a couple months, but so far no problems with a variety of oils- some mixes, including "sweet orange" essential oil. It's basically just a little plastic well with a metal plate at the bottom, so I can't imagine there would be any problems.

Yes, these would be great! I bought mine for essential oil blends. They're great!

I haven't used an Elements bottle, but the Vapur bottles are made of a very strong material. I haven't been very gentle with mine and it's still in great condition.

The particular tips I have didn't come with any caps. I've seen similar bottles with caps attached so I wouldn't think it's impossible but one would need to shop around and try them out to see which fits. I generally use mine for soy sauce and cooking oil and since I use them nearly everyday it doesn't bother me that it's exposed to air. I wouldn't notice how much evaporates or if it spoils unless I let it sit for a while.

I haven't experienced leaks with them, you can place them horizontal and assuming you have a flat even surface they'll be fine, but I own these and the 5 ounce medela bottles that are fatter and I prefer those.While they haven't broken on me I feel like these are more flemsy and I can't store as much milk so I've switched to the larger ones.

Hi there! Yes, I use them for essential oil blends and have had no problem at all. Like for "germ fighter" mixed with water and I've used it like a hand sanitizer spray and carried it around. I do put it in a zip lock Baggie, JUST IN CASE, but I've had no issues. I would recommend them. Hope that helps!

ooh no! What kind (both brand and 'flavor') of essential oils are you using? Brands can be important :/ I use an all natural set of oils from a company called Young Living and have not experienced any issues with the plastic quality... Maybe that brand you're using is too industrial?

Plastic is plastic, aka chemicals. I would want any oils that I buy to be in a glass container.

I have been. I use all of the essential oils in it and haven't had any problems.

You never ever want to use plastic with any essential oils. The oils will leach the petrochemicals out of the plastic and put them into your body. Always use glass or metal. The metal rollers are fine....I'm assuming they are talking about the plastic housing.

Depends how tall the bottles are. I have this box for my essential oils. Anything too much taller than those size bottles probably won't fit

Yes, very nicely. I use beer bottles and these stoppers for storing cooking oils. Brown beer bottle glass helps prevent degradation of the oils.

These bottles have a plastic stopper. I would not use these to freeze in...I think they break.

Yes, they are all glass. This is what you want when working with essential oils because they can react with plastic.

I use the essential oils in this bottle and I am filling it with good water and I use it frequently however I have a half dozen of them that I switch off. I believe you can store the essential oils in the bottle yes...for how long depends on the grade of the oil in my opinion a good grade oil may last longer .I imagine 6 months is a fair assumption but I am Just guessing

Hi Judy, The cap and base are #5 food grade, polypropylene and are BPA free. We do have a lot of essential oil users that use the Glasstic bottle and love it. It is still a good idea to try and keep the bottle in an upright position as much as possible to reduce the amount of time the oil water will be in contact with the plastic. Always best to lean toward safety when essential oils are involved. I hope this was helpful! - Brandon
