What Is a GL18 Atomiser Pump?
GL18 refers to a standard 18mm bottle neck and thread size commonly used with small glass bottles.
This black atomiser pump is designed to screw onto compatible GL18 bottles and create a controlled fine mist.
The stepped collar helps provide:
- a secure fit
- a cleaner bottle finish
- improved visual alignment
- a professional appearance
- reliable spray performance
It is suitable for both personal and professional use.
Compatible Bottle Types
This atomiser is designed for compatible 18mm glass bottles.
It may be used with:
- 100ml amber glass bottles
- 100ml blue glass bottles
- smaller GL18 bottles
- bottles with a flange collar
- bottles without a flange collar
Compatibility can vary between bottle manufacturers, so always test the atomiser with the intended bottle before filling.
110mm Dip Tube
The pump includes an approximately 110mm dip tube.
This length is suitable for many 100ml bottles and can be shortened for smaller bottle sizes.
To achieve the best fit, the tube should reach close to the base of the bottle without bending sharply or pressing against the bottom.
How to Trim the Dip Tube
Remove the atomiser from the bottle and place the dip tube alongside the bottle.
Mark the required length, allowing the tube to sit close to the base.
Trim carefully using clean, sharp scissors.
A slight diagonal cut may help the tube continue drawing liquid if it rests near the bottom of the bottle.
Trim gradually. Once shortened, the tube cannot be lengthened again.
Fine Mist Spray Performance
The atomiser dispenses approximately 150 microlitres per spray.
This creates a light mist suitable for:
- room sprays
- aura sprays
- meditation mists
- flower essence sprays
- hydrosols
- alcohol-based ritual colognes
- compatible aromatherapy blends
- personal fragrance mists
Actual spray performance may vary depending on liquid thickness, bottle pressure, pump priming and formulation.
Nitrile Seal
The atomiser includes a nitrile seal designed to help reduce leakage and support a secure closure.
The seal provides practical compatibility with many common external-use formulations.
Not every liquid is suitable for every seal, tube or pump component. Test compatibility before prolonged storage or regular use.
Protective Over-Cap
A clear plastic over-cap is included.
The cap helps protect the actuator from dust and accidental pressing during storage or transport.
It is not a substitute for keeping filled bottles upright and checking regularly for leakage.
Suitable Uses
This atomiser pump may be used with compatible liquids including:
- Florida Water
- Kananga Water
- Agua de Rosas
- Palo Santo Cologne
- room sprays
- floral waters
- hydrosols
- smokeless cleansing sprays
- meditation mists
- properly formulated aromatherapy sprays
Do not use with thick oils, powders, undispersed ingredients or viscous blends that may block the pump.
How to Use
Prepare the Bottle
Clean and dry the bottle before filling.
Ensure the bottle neck and thread are free from residue.
Trim the Tube
Shorten the dip tube where necessary to fit the chosen bottle.
Fill
Add the compatible liquid, leaving enough space for the dip tube and pump closure.
Attach
Screw the atomiser onto the bottle firmly without overtightening.
Prime
Press the pump several times until liquid begins to spray.
Protect
Replace the clear over-cap when the bottle is not in use.
For Florida Water and Ritual Colognes
This atomiser is especially useful for decanting splash colognes into a more controlled spray format.
It may be paired with a compatible 18mm bottle for:
- room misting
- altar preparation
- symbolic aura cleansing
- ceremony
- meditation
- travel use
- treatment-room refreshing
Alcohol-based ritual colognes are flammable and must be kept away from heat, candles, incense, sparks and open flame.
Care and Maintenance
- Rinse with a compatible cleaning liquid before first use where appropriate.
- Do not force thick or unsuitable liquids through the pump.
- Prime gently after refilling.
- Keep the spray opening free from residue.
- Store filled bottles upright.
- Replace the over-cap after use.
- Check regularly for leakage or damage.
- Discontinue use if the pump cracks, blocks or no longer seals correctly.
- Do not over tighten the collar.
- Do not reuse with a different liquid unless the pump has been cleaned appropriately and cross-contamination is not a concern.
