The prices are great, no doubt, however, if you're planning to repackage Potable Aqua tablets in them you'll still need some kind of teflon cap or liner because the caps they sell at specialty bottle with these vials are not suitable. I emailed them a couple of months ago to check.

If you're not going to use them to repackage iodine or something, the bottles are a great deal, and the different color are cool too. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Ah ha! I had emailed them about that very topic.

You can get septas fairly cheap if you watch eBay. 13mm should work for these, if they are standard sized. Luckily, I happen to have some left around from when I was talking about vials a few months ago. Barring that, 0.05" teflon sheeting and a 14mm punch, and cut yuor own.

Still, not much of an advantage compaired to buying through someone that gaurentees teflon.

Man, seriously...
The vials are a good buy, but I had contacted them and found I couldn't repackage potable aqua in them with the caps that were provided. Should that important bit of information have been left out?

And you even had an idea how to solve the problem...

Take it easy, man. It's all good.

The basic gist was cheap vials and tins of various sizes that can be bought in any quantity. It's a good site.

The link: Specialty Bottle.

Sorry, everyone. I was having a bad day yesterday, and I just kinda blew up. It wasn't anything against you guys, it was just frustration with the 'verse.

http://www.specialtybottle.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=251 was the link.

No probs. It happens.

I hope everything's going better for you today.
