misc Pepper Powder Vials

Peter S · Jul 30, 2015

Amazon has packs of 100 10ml plastic test tubes with screw-on caps for 11.99. It looks like these would be good for keeping powders in, especially for general carry-on or sharing samples with friends. My box just came today. I've seen the type with push in caps before, but never trusted them. These look pretty secure. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z4R9HI

You might find it changes the flavor a tad, I always store in glass and use glass shakers. The exception is the food grade BPA free bags I used as an alternative to glass jars for refills.

They probably are great for temp storage. Nice score!

That's good to know about long term storage affecting flavor. I'll keep storing the bulk of my powders in vacuum sealed mason jars, and take some out as I need. These look tiny enough to go through fairly quickly. Taking this to work tomorrow

Does it tell you how much they hold? Are they 14 grams, 1 oz or...?

nm, they are 10 grams

I really like the screw on caps!

Any challenges filling them. With that small diameter I could see myself making a toxic mess. Probably would get me in trouble, but like the size also. Some guys I work with that I converted last year with my powders got some key chain viles and now take it everywhere they go.

Pecan became probably my go to last year. I think it was the best smoke for peppers for me.

The mad scientist in me says cool looking.

Peter S · Jul 30, 2015

Yep funnel is what I used. I found some cheap tiny plastic ones on Amazon that work great. Got them for filling 5oz woozy bottles.

Where do you get your glass shakers? I have a lot of different types this year and want to use glass as much as possible,
Thank you.

I got carried away, too much coffee to get started after a long weekend. I'm not awake but wired. Thanks neoguy!
