Small waterproof capsules

[simbad]

Iam looking for the small metal containers for my son to take his medicine always with him, Ive seen BPoint's Trekker but it is too big and heavy (good for spare 123s /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif), does anybody knows any link to find the small/medium aluminum ones?

What you want are called "Spy Capsules" by Bison Designs.

They carry a variety of sizes and colors, and (unlike the Trekker) they are reasonably priced. You'll see them periodically appear in B/S/T here. I've had some and they are nice quality. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Those capsules are nice and affordable but they only ship to US residents, Ive just sent an e-mail to ask anyway, thanks for the info Dave /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Try www.sunshineproductsusa.com
They have a large variety - even an endcap to fit a M&M@g.

Good grief, Charlie Brown! Did you see the PRICES at that last site? Maybe someone here could start seelling empty AAA flashlight tubes, sealed at both ends with o-rings to be waterproof. Looks like there could be more profit in them than in the complete lights...a lot less work, too. Hey, I'd probably buy a few myself, brass or stainless preferred.

Damn...way too $$$.
I found a few of the stainless capsules at the local army surplus that are like $4.95 and look almost identical to the $135 "Astro" container. I guess some people like to spend too much money...

 

[watt4]

consider a standard matchcase for a medium size "capsule"

Thanks Nam, Ive ordered a couple of nice brass capsules in two different sizes, not very cheap but more durable than alu ones. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Cheers.

Hi...I just got an order of stuff from American Science & Surplus , including pill containers that look like knockoffs of the bison capsules (3 for $3.75)

Looks like they don't ship international, though.

Lots of other interesting stuff, though.

Those nitro pill capsules are VERY small. The typical nitro pill is smaller than a pencil eraser.

My local Walgreen's has machined aluminum capsules with o-rings that are big enough for a 123 cell for $5.

I'd like a few of both those capsules, if you could possibly mail them to Toronto, Canada. What color is the Walgreen's one? My bank can mail you a certified cheque. Please PM.

I picked up one of those at one of the Walgreen's in town as well. If you do put a 123 cell in it, you won't be able to screw the top on.

Bummer.

2dim, if you're still interested, let me know and I'll go check it out.

Thanks for the offer. Still like to find out what color they are, but I may be driving into Ohio for a gunshow next weekend and could see if they're available there. If not, will let you know.

2dim, the ones at Walgreens are all silver in colour. I noticed that some had a slighly brushed finish while others were more polished, but otherwise they're identical.
