What size is the cap on the 100ml cobalt blue ones?

I don't know Pat. Are they standard Boston rounds? Try a cap you have from a smaller Boston round and see if it fits the 100ml one. If so, yes, 20-400.

Maybe browse the site. Usually in the description of a bottle they state what size cap it takes with links to the corresponding caps.

Well what I do know is they are the same size as the phenolic caps I have on the cobalt blue ones. They work ok but they just have a flat foil inside. That was my screw up I bought them from MFS when I got some nic instead of on amazon.

Years ago, when I first started doing woodturning, there was a shop on the south side of OKC called Woodcrafters. Needless to say, they went out of business. Nancy and I were out just shopping around and we came across a business that had picked up a lot of Woodcrafters inventory. I was able to get what are called Slimline pencil kits for $1.00 each. Yesterday evening I was bored and started getting some of my woodturning things better organized. I came across the Slimline pencil kits. I don't personally like the Slimline pens and pencils because they really are very slim. Today, I went ahead and turned a set of wood blanks and put a Slimline pencil together. I made the body a bit fatter and it isn't too bad. It is a .7mm lead mechanical pencil. I used Purple Heart for the wood and think it looks OK. I was at the wood shop where I normally get my wood and pen kits last weekend and the Cigar pencil kits are going for about $22.00 each. That is about 4 times more than the pen kits cost. Fountain pen kits run around $15.00. This hobby can get expensive for something that I just give away. LOL

Mweh-heh-heh-heh-heh... mad scientist at work. After putting the last squeeze of my existing DIY joose into my Kanger Subtank Plus, I needed to make more. I decided to use every drop of store-bought joose that I still had, all of which is 3 to 4 years old. Result: very good, very heavy on the menthol. (I like menthol).

Kitchen Sink Joose

Ingredients with nicotine
26 ml Atomized E-Liquid 36 mg/ml nic Cherry (936 mg of nic)
42 ml of an old, unlabeled 24mg/ml DIY joose from 2013 (1008 mg of nic)
125 ml Lucky 7 Vapes Newport, 24 mg/ml nic (3000 mg of nic)
11 ml MBV Cranberry, 12 mg/ml nic (132 mg of nic)
17 ml MBV Razzleberry Pie, 12 mg/ml nic (204 mg of nic)
58 ml Killer Juice Citrus Dew, 24 mg/ml nic (1392 mg of nic)

Ingredients without nicotine
10 ml Signature Peach flavor
25 ml TFA Menthol flavor
103 ml VG

Yield 417 ml of joose at 16 mg/ml nic

Kitchen Sink Joose
Oh, yeah, this stuff is good. If you like having Vick's Vaporub on your chest, you'd like this joose. I did add 100 ml of 16 mg/ml nic unflavored in 100% VG to it, to make a total of 517 ml of joose with slightly less flavoring content. I believe I'll leave it alone now, and it will get me through approximately 5 months. I've gotten to the point where my usual 100 ml batches are too small and I'm glad I made a batch that will last more than a month.

Here in the eastern NC coastal plain, more rain, due to which I've been grounded since Saturday. Flood watches are in effect, and I'm looking forward to flying over the creek to see how much it has swollen. Temperatures since yesterday are a cool relief from the 80 degree plus temperatures of the previous few days.

Then the 20-400s should work! I would post a link but on my phone.

I find the blue ones are a lot harder to see into than the brown.
Y'all both agree. Bummer, cuz they sure are prettier

yay!!

Standard (Boston round) 30 ml (and I think larger ones, too) bottles take 20-400 caps. I bought a bunch of 20-400 continuous thread phenolic caps (black) from Packaging Options Direct (. 23 each) a while ago. If you only need new caps might try that.
kewl to know! Unfortunately I'd bought the packer bottles (wide mouth) before I knew about phenolic caps.

When is the next HO. Now that I have this computer all set up again I have a decent camera. That's the only thing bad about the Lenova is it has a crappy webcam. Up here I have and external Logitech and don't have to bug Gin when I go to the HO. So got this one all updated and all the settings right made 3 30ml test batches of high VG Russian Juices and still sitting here drooling over the Duck Stuff. Patiently waiting. They did say 7-14 days. Might give it a try after 7 but going to try to restrain myself. Internet speed isn't bad up here with a WiFi extender getting 28Mbps. Got 6 coils wrapped and my KGD cut plus 1 K5 surgically cleaned. Thinking about changing some O rings on them when I take them apart. There are really only 3 that get a lot of wear and tear. Got Spotify set up sounds great on the Boston Acoustic sound system I have up here. So I'm all set.
Wow, you really are set up nice!

I got the text notification about 830am & watched the birth while I had my coffee. Very cool. Even watched him get up, get up again, & get up & stay up. Watching him learn to walk was facinating. By the next day he was running & jumping around.

I'd seen a birth before so was prepared for how quick it can go. I have a very strong desire to help the baby stand up! They look so gangly and wobbly! It takes humans months to just stand up on our own let alone walk. And I love how the other giraffes come around to check out the new baby.

So it's important to see into the bottles in order to know how much is left in them? Remember, the harder it is for you to see into the bottle, the harder it is for the sun to see into the bottle.

Y'all can write down Wiseguy Dave's meticulously calculated method for determining bottle contents. I'll wait while you go get a pen or pencil.... ready?.... here it is:

Take off the lid.... invert the bottle.... when nothing comes out, it's empty.

I just tried the polycone cap from a 4oz (120ml) Boston Round on one of my 2oz (60ml) Boston Rounds. It looks like it might fit, but it just turns and doesn't capture the threads.

Looked it up. Serious, but not life-threatening if she takes care of herself. All my prayers.
