Hey guys,
Somewhere somebody has probably thought of this but instead of carrying around a glass test tube or some big bulky container, I take a small piece of tubing and plug the ends with cotton and put this in my pocket. Makes a handy little queen getter haha

Thought someone might find this handy!

In Jesus,
Jonny

Thank you! The vials I loved from Cafe Cubano are no longer available. These will do the trick nicely.

I used to do that to replace tubes entirely, but the cotton often fell out for some reason. Could just be me not packing it tight enough.
