I have the following stuff on the way from AliExpress and will report back:

 

[tmccaff]

don't those bottles come with septa?

I couldn’t tell from the listing but I wanted a separate supply of them so I can just change every time I refill.

 

[tmccaff]

this is the stuff I got and it's been fine.

It looks way smaller ID diameter, I will try it though.

The vials I got from Ali are the perfect size, but the glass is much darker. I’m guessing that won’t work - anyone know?

The new one is on the right.

the machine doesn't do any light measurements on the vials so I don't think the color actually matters

Oh right, thank you, I wasn’t thinking…

Anyone know a source for the 5x10mm reactor chamber magnetic stir bar? I realized my used unit is missing this one piece. Out of stock everywhere.

I ordered those vials too didnt come yet. Did they come with the septas? Needles and syringes needed as well. Weird I ordered those vials I think before you and my estimated delivery is July 7th lol

They did not, the caps are closed… no hole cut. I used the original caps and will try the thicker septas I got from Ali.

 

[tmccaff]

let me know on the septas work! thanks

 

[tmccaff]

Maybe I ordered different one? See it says with septas

Mine said the same thing but no septas and solid cap.

 

[kenchilada]

Anyone know where to get vent needles? Mine is bent and I can’t find them anywhere.

I ordered a couple sets last week from coralvue as they are the cheapest currently. https://www.coralvue.com/mastertronic-syringes-kit

if you buy more than 4 maybe worth it.

Oh thanks, I didn’t realize both needles were the same size.

Man we really need a source for cheap needles, this is insane.

 

[tmccaff]

Yes, I need needles soon as well. I am sure we can contact one of the manufacturers on Ali express maybe give them a sample. Not sure though. I bought the tool and sheet of silicone a lot cheaper. The hoses for sure work the ones I got for the external hoses.

 

[tmccaff]

@kenchilada I got my vials today the septas are in the cap but they are thicker than original. I am going to contact that company and see if they offer caps with opening. I am sure you can drill them, lol. I wish we can find a source for the needles.

What about these instead:
