baby bottles

Just checking the forum quickly and reading this thread, thought i would add a thought that my husband came up with.... he could't see that it mattered if the bottle was a bit larger than 2oz but also suggesting putting glass marbles in to take up the space... I thought it was rather ingeneous really although so is using the dropper bottle for am sure we can find those anywhere in the world.

Hello, am new to the site and forum. I tried making the CDS using what I had on hand instead of using the 2 ounce bottle...big mistake... as I did not have a tight seal on the small bottle i used and hence flooded the house with Chlorine dioxide gas.....my throat was sore and had a cough for 2 days...so what ever you do have a tight seal on the generating bottle..I didi get over my problems...also my nose ran likea fauct for about 4 days.....maybe I cleared out a lot of junk..who knows.....jan 123

Welcome, Jan123 -

Yes, the mixing bottle has a couple of "things" - it should be just about the size of the amount of liquid you're putting into it - and you do want the gas to go over to the receiving bottle. Jim's newest video is now showing a little venting hole in the nipple -

One thing about it, with the lid not tight enough, you didn't have a gas buildup in the bottle so high that the bottle "exploded" on you . The use for the nipple on the baby bottle, of course, is to provide something that could come out easily if there was a gas buildup.

Next time, you might try having your stove ventilation hood fan running, pulling the gas up and out - there will always be a little leaking, because your receiving bottle has no cap on it at all. (And shouldn't) -

If it's any encouragement, I think most of us have had the "oopsy, too much gas" syndrome at one point or another. We usually only do it once.

I was just going to use 4oz bottles and double the starting amount and use a larger capacity receiving bottle as long as it stores with no problem..................

That should work - I don't think it has been around long enough to know how long it stores - be sure to keep it cold. And in my opinion, it would be wise to keep it in several full smaller bottles so that you were not opening one bottle all the time.

I was just emailing Michael about this, thinking someone needs to set up a test to follow stability over time. I'm sure someone will at some point. My batch I made after the first Humble video is as dark and as strong smelling as it was when I made it, I can promise you that. Fortunately it doesn't TASTE like that.
