Someone says: "do I build a 3, 4, or 5 plate bubbler?"

Little girl in Mexico says: "Why don't you build modular?"

Everyone hoists her on their shoulders and celebrates :laughing-rolling:

I get my 5L glass jars for $5.95 at the $2 shop down the road, they have some that look like 10L for only a few $ more. Junk shops often have heaps of cheap glasswear on the cheap. I get the smaller ones for fear of breaking the larger jar.

If your worried about lead leeching, stay away from green glass like this:

Nice glass Stig. I have a crystal cabinet full of it. The best one would be the Boyd glass 1963 split screen corvette.

I wouldn't use it for storage, but the ammont of radiation it emits is about the same as concrete.
