Title: Vacuum flask stoppers
Post by: austastar on April 11, 2011, 04:05:31 PM

Hi,
  I have a variety of flasks, and now the stoppers are starting to leak.
Checked on line (http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/295279069/Stainless_steel_Bullet_Type_Vacuum_Flask.html), but I don't need 2000 of the damn things.

I would like to replace the click and pour (read many moving parts and seals) top with a plain old screw top.

Any one else having this problem, and have you managed to source any stoppers.

I am thinking of gumming up the works with sikaflex or similar if I can't get a new one.

cheers

Email them for a price on 2000 .... might only be as much as a new flask anyway ...

..........then you could :

1.) hand them out to kids at halloween
2.) give them to family at Christmas
3.)
4.)

Have you tried the Manufacturer for replacement parts ... or is it cheaper to buy 2000 of them?

Hi,
  thanks for the link, our local camping shop advised that if I had an Aladdin flask, spares would have been no problem.
Guess that's my reward for buying el cheapo from Target.
