Hot Shots EDT leaky bottle solution

[-RotorDemon-]

Find someone who vapes. Ask for the throw away 30ml juice bottles.

pry off the "plastic needle tip", fill and put the childproof cap on. They will hold 1 ounce to the neck and not leak or smell.

Edit: Attached image. Each have approx 1 ounce each of Hot Shots EDT in vape juice bottles with velcro. Bonus is if you remove your fuel filler discriminator they just pour right in.

Under the rag is the factory funnel in a plastic bag I used when using the EDT with the measuring cap. Just buy the 16 ounce bottle and fill the vape bottles at home.

Before using Hot Shots, I tried Archoil. I switched to Hot Shots for some reason, I don't remember.

But, I kept the Archoil bottle because it has a long neck and is a squeeze/graduated bottle so I can measure out how much I need.

I just refill this bottle with Hot Shots and keep it in a zip lock bag in the rear storage.
It hasn't leaked in the 1-1/2 years I've had it.

You can find many additive products with bottles like this.

I use a molle pouch that hangs off my tailgate table for the EDT. It’ll probably still leak but hopefully it’s further than my center console and won’t bother me as much.

I’m toying with a similar idea. Why stop at INSIDE the tailgate? Looking at the tire carrier, there’s a crossbar inside the spare tire from which I could hang a small bag. I’ll work something up and supply photos of my efforts.

I’m definitely not enthusiastic about smelling EDT every time I get in the car.

Double bagged in freezer ziplocks I don’t ever smell it.

I needed to restock my EDT, so this time I ordered a gallon, a quart and two of the 4oz bottles. The quart and two 4oz bottles will go in the Jeep, I’ll just refill them as needed from the gallon.

I like it. I just did ziplocks in a ziplock Tupperware. It also fits nicely here so it’s upright. But I have hard top always on.

I’m most pleased that this topic has been started.

If how strong a product smells and how easily it burns your skin is any indication of how effective it is, Hot Shot Secrets EDT is a very effective product and one of the many reasons I use it.

I tried pouring it in leak proof squeeze bottles and adding before or after fill ups resulting in additional steps before and/or after so I’ve settled on the ziplock freezer bag method and use the manufacturer’s bottle to easily measure and add without issue. Just pour slow.

Holy crap, I thought I was just overly sensitive or something, but have the exact same problem. Double and triple bagging never seemed to work for me, so I look forward to trying some of the suggestions here.

Ugh, damn Amazon. I really don’t need 8 bottles. I would just sell the spares but shipping costs are insane!!!

 

[bige_talls]

Does anyone know a good way to clean up and get rid of the smell from edt? I spilled some in the back carpet of my jeep and it smells strong inside now.

 

[Rusty Shovel]

I did too. I steam cleaned the piss out of it, then fabreezed it every few days for a couple weeks.

the smell definitely lingers. About a month later the smell was pretty much gone.

Stored in one of these pockets.
AUXMART Trunk Organizer Storage Tray Rear Cargo Side Box Wheel Well Storage Bin Compatible with Jeep Wrangler JL JLU 2018-2021 2/4 Doors for Extra Storage Space, Interior Accessories, Black https://a.co/d/4P3amH5

Doesn’t leak, easy to pour when you pull that clear spout out and if it does spill or leak a quick wipe down of the plastic organizer is all that’s needed.

Created my own little storage box with plastic bins, toolbox foam and laboratory grade reagent bottles.

Bin

Toolbox Foam
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J5FX5VQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I cut a couple of small blocks to space the shadow box foam to the top of the bin. I attached these using 3M automotive tape. I created a paper template for the area of the bin I wanted to fill.

I used a sharp razor blade to cut out of the foam (you could use a hot knife if you have one, I don't). I used a 1.5 inch hole saw to cut the holes. I drilled these out on concerted to I wouldn't go all the way through. I wanted to make sure there was a base for the bottles to sit flush on. You'll want to make sure to clean out the holes as you go because the foam pieces build up and clog up the bit.

I installed the foam into the bin. Because of the way I cut it the compression of the foam is more than adequate to hold it into the bin.

These are 4oz. bottles so I fill each halfway full. I have some alcohol wipes in the storage tub and wipe them down after use to (hopefully) keep the smell out of the cargo area.

I just installed this today so the jury is out on longevity of the bottles and the foam but I'll see how this setup holds up. I hate the stupid leaky EDT bottle like the rest of you!

Wow! That’s an amazing setup!

I wrapped a paper towel around the cap and stuff it right side up between the wheel well and the back seat. When you open the back door and look down there’s a good area. It hasn’t moved and it hasn’t leaked despite me going from Phoenix to flag or Sedona etc to go wheeling.
