Bottle caps ate my dripper tops!

[dekalbave]

I got four 30ml bottles on 3/3 and at a different point, each one, upon opening, the dripper top came off inside the bottle cap. Each time I had to take a pair of tweezers, and manipulate the dripper top back out and stick it in properly.

Anyone else ever had this happen?

Sounds like the dripper tops weren't fully seated on the bottle when they were filled. I've had that happen when refilling my 30ml bottles. If they are properly seated you can hear them click when you press down.

Yes, I've had the same problem. Wiggled then out, snapped them in place, no problems after that.

Ok, I see what you're saying now.

I just got my latest order out of the mailbox and found the dripper top on the 30ml bottle is a little loose. Almost like it is the wrong size dripper for the 30ml. If a person don't watch it, they could wind up spilling a lot of good juice should the top pop off during a pour.

Thanks for the responses. Always good to know one is not alone in this sort of thing. I re-seated them, but they didn't exactly snap into place. Hopefully they'll stay where they are supposed to.

I didn't want to chance an accidental spill so I wound up swapping tops with an empty I had. That one at least fits snug.
