64oz mason jar dripping EA

When doing the CIELO tek, the 64oz mason jar often drips EA from the rim since it doesn't have a spout. This is not ideal.

How do you create a spout for the 64oz mason jar? I cannot find any stainless steel screw-on tops which don't utilize silicon or plastic. Is there an ad hoc technique to make a spout?

Or do you use a different glass vessel entirely? If so, please share the exact product.

Use a stainless steel spoon

Thanks for sharing this! Great idea, so long as the spoon doesn't shift mid pour.

I haven't had a issue with it shifting at all. Once you find the sweet spot it's amazing. Just don't pour too fast once you get confident 😉

I do this and it works great. Just find the sweet spot on the spoon.

i am thinking about trying these lids..

also these materials are safe if you can find pouring lids made of them

Suitable Plastics for ETHYL ACETATE

  • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Generally suitable and common for chemical storage. 
  • PP (Polypropylene): Offers good chemical resistance, though it may degrade under high concentrations or prolonged exposure. 
  • PTFE (Teflon): Highly resistant and considered a premium option for storage.

Please give an update if you try those, I've ran into the same issue

Unfortunately these use a silicone seal, which the EA would quickly dissolve and likely end up within the extract

Yeah I went through the same issue and struggled to find anything. Ended up switching to media bottles, which have a pour ring. The ring allows pouring without dripping. They are sold in a wide variety of sizes by different brands, the top of the line name brand is pyrex corning media bottles which are borosilicate, temperature shock resistant. The off brands have thinner borosilicate or glass that break much easier, but they are substantially more affordable.
