Hey everyone, I found these mini maple syrup bottles at the dollar store and I couldn't resist picking a few up... They're maple leafs eh, lol. I successfully drilled a hole in the bottom of one and am now thinking about making the filter, I've researched that either stainless steel or copper scrubbers can be used... Is there a consensus about which kind to use?

Hi,
i don't know, for mine i only find stainless steel one and work well with a torch lighter, but i think (maybe i'm wrong) that copper can heat well and fast than stainless.
Nice bottle, mine it's from a soia sauce bottle.

Thanks xa the bottles are perfect, I live a very synchronistic life, sometimes it is so strange how things present themselves to me its almost scary, the same morning I made the decision to make one (I just needed to find the right bottle) is the same day I found these.

i put a cap of dropper in the hole...i try to explain, you take one dropper, the one for tincture thing, the rubber top and cut it, use to seal the hole and put inside a plastic tube so from the hole you have a mouth inhaler...oh, my english...if i can....i put a photo of mine machine...sorry i can t explain well and i am a very new not experience in spice but i like to use my hand....if i find a way to put photo tomorrow i do it, it s a cool thing, spice experien e apart.

I got it, xa, just fine.

Hey xa, do you mean using an eye dropper and a length of tubing as a mouth piece? Something like this:

If so, I really like this idea I was just going to use it as is.

Sorry for the messy post, I haven't figured out how to structure them better with images

It just so happened that I had everything I needed around the house! You're the best XA

Hi, no i mean to use the rubber top with top cutted like a seal, you put this cutted rubber in the hole and the insert a rigid tube....but ok, also the rubber tube it's okay, now if i find a way to put photo....how can i put a photo ? can i use an anonim site and link here ? do you know some ?

Good also yours, i like the glass tip :-)

Hi, maybe i find to put a photo...i try.
This is my machine, in the second photo right you see the cutted rubber cap of the dropper and the black plastic tube. :-)

That's a pretty sweet machine brother! I see what you mean about the rubber seal, I have a few of these bottles so I might try a few different designs.
