Sephora/Nordstrom's sample vial (atomizers) size?

Does anybody know how big the vials are that Spehora and Nordstroms give you when you request a free sample? I was guessing 1.5-2 ml, but was hoping to know more definitively as I am trading a few samples for samples, and want to be as fair as possible. Thanks!

Just to be clear, we are talking about the clear ones with "Nordstrom" on the side, which the SA will manually fill (not pre-made ones from the fragrance house)?

Yes, Nordstrom is in raised, black capital letters on the vial.. Admittedly, I haven't been to a Nordstrom and asked for a sample in a while, but the last time I did, the vials were 1.25 ml.

I just went to check the ones I got recently at Nordstrom and Sephora. I would say pretty confidently that they are 2 ml. (They are only a tiny bit smaller than the 2.5 ml ones I buy.) Nordstrom used to have small glass vials with dipping wands, and only this past year switched to these larger plastic atomizers.

Sephora's used to be the same size as the 2.5 ml ones I buy from Accessories for Fragrances, but they began using smaller ones this past year or so.

Mine aren't sprays ~ just vials. They're 1.25 ml. I should have read the question more carefully.
