Yeah i suggest if you get any Togos retape it or add more.. went to grab my [P83](https://a314.com/product/p83/) and noticed 1 looked empty. Only 1/4" left in the bottle and the tape is saturated and comes off easy.. what a waste. Im pooring all my P togos i have into my 30mls that i bought of them.. not sure what im going to do with my cttm2 or p102 and p125s since i dont have 30mls.. was going to use this at my friends wedding next month… 😠 Any suggestions on places to get quality empty cologne spray bottles? Especially 5mls? ---

It happened to me once with IG. It’s sad, but no big deal. Making sure bottles are in an upright position for storage is always a nice idea. But your title mentions [MX297](https://a314.com/product/mx297/) and your message is about P83, I’m a bit confused. You can create a ticket with the customer service about your issue. ---

Well all my Togos are together. “went to grab my [P83](https://a314.com/product/p83/) and noticed 1 looked empty” isnt confusing so not sure what you mean. .Maybe for you its not a big deal. Thats money and product wasted that was suppose to be used at a upcoming wedding.. I have taken note about the storing upright.. good idea. But if a togo leaks like the mx297 and if you use it as a togo and take it with you.. is still going to leak. Which would of been in my pocket on the wedding day for the after party. I would say it would of been not that big of a deal if it was the P125 or P102 i got for free samples.. not something i bought for a planned day. I probably wouldnt even thought about posting it if it was 1 of those 2. (Only since i never used or know the effects of them) Not sure what androtics can do.. its been awhile since i purchased the Togo. If anyone knows where to get quality small atomizers that they know work good id be very appreciative. Been looking on google and found some glass 5ml bottles. Might order those.. ---

If you can see the saturated tape, take a couple of photos and upload it with a support ticket. They will quite likely give you a credit towards your next order. ---

I agree with Mobo. Calming down and opening a ticket is the thing to do 🙂. If you switch bottle type, you might not get the exact dose because the nozzle will be different. But you sure can do as you please. ---

Well geez im glad i took atleast 1 pic before i took off the top and put it in a 2ml (think its a 2ml) atomizer that I know doesn’t leak. I put my cttm2 and others upright that i dont have 30mls of. Rest are now in my 30mls 😉 [http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q514/martinzidek/20160507\_133855.jpg](http://s1161.photobucket.com/user/martinzidek/media/20160507_133855.jpg.html) The tape came off easily as it seemed to slide around :-/ ---

See this is how i have everything. Inside bags so i can easy find them as having them out isnt a option right now.. they are in the basement in my room in one of those 2 draw black cabinets from walmart with a lock.. as you kind of can tell i emptied few of the 5mls togos.. 🙂 [http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q514/martinzidek/20160507\_134543.jpg](http://s1161.photobucket.com/user/martinzidek/media/20160507_134543.jpg.html) ---

I must say that there was a period when I virtually stopped ordering togos because of reliability issues but they seem to have got over that in the last year or so and thy are getting through Airfreight without any leaks, so hopefully this is just down to a faulty or un-tightened example. ---

Mobocaster- off topic but do you know if there is a difference in the spray amount from the 5ml and 30ml? I had 3 empty 30ml bottles here. 2 i used to spray my cologne i wear into to mix with NNPA. So have 1 left. ---

Ill also note- i have been using the P75 Togo i had that i poured into my 30ml to put my 5:1 mixes cologne:NNPA into and it hasnt leaked nor has tape on it.. so its not all ToGo bottles. It has been in my pocket at work a few times and never had a problem. Was just shocked to see the [MX297](https://pheromonelabs.com/product/mx297/) i been wanting to try out to be almost gone!!! Im going to put water in it and see if it leaks- if its the actual bottle or just wasnt tight enough… ---

I had 3 empty 30ml bottles here. 2 i used to spray my cologne i wear into to mix with NNPA. So have 1 left. There is - Spray volume of a togo is approx 80% of that from a 30ml. I can’t remember exactly how much that is in mls OTOH but if you want to search, there is a thread comparing spray volume sizes of AD bottles/togos and a range of commercial/quality atomisers which will help you make some informed choices. [P75](https://pheromonelabs.com/product/p75/)/NPA - Hmmm. Not done that one in a long time…! 😃 I’d also not put water in the togo until you hear back from AD - Due to the shipping costs, they have always accepted my photos and never asked me to return a faulty one from the UK but if you are in the US/Canada it might be different. ---

I already took the label off of the togo yesterday but left the [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) in it. So i guess it doesnt really matter anymore. Yeah ill do some digging. Have few ammo and tuth empty bottles here. Thanks ---

With all my Togo’s what I did was bought Teflon pipe thread tape which you can buy at any hardware store and I know Wal-Mart sells it and it is like a $1 for 1 roll and I unscrewed everyone one of the tops off and put 1-3 wraps of this Teflon tape around the threads and then put the spray head back on and I have not had 1 issue. You have to wrap the threads clockwise which is to the right, because if you go left it will just come off when you try to put the spray head back on. This should be a very reasonable low cost solution to keep the bottles from leaking. The Teflon tape is used in plumbing for joining pipes together with threads. Just make sure you get the White Teflon tape and most are. The yellow and Pink are usually a thicker tape and used for iron gas pipe and it is just to thick. This should do the trick. I have some 5ML bottles I have reused 6-7 times this way with no issues. The tape should seal up nicely the gaps in between the threads of the Togo bottles. ---

Yup - Teflon or tape and ensure the sprayer is tight and not leaking before taping. I have once had a sprayer itself fail and leak everywhere inside the cap but that was back in the days of the duff togos. ---

Maybe this is a very solid and easy fix for Androtics to use on all to-go’s before they ship out? (I have also had a couple of to-go’s ‘evaporate’ on me like this, even after taping them on the outside, it IS fairly heart-breaking when it happens…) ---
