If I poured a hot solution into these tubes, would they leak?

Hello, I used hot materials ie, the lip balm which was melted. it was fine.. these are great... hope this helps, Susan

I don't think so - I poured hot olive oil and beeswax mixture in mine and they were fine.

No :-) I warm all of my lip balm ingredients in a pyrex dish that I set inside my crockpot on high. That gets the ingredients pretty warm. I use a syringe to pour in the ingredients. I have made over 50 and not one has ever leaked. (helpful hint, I took a thin piece of 8"x10"x 1/2 inch Styrofoam. I made an indentation with the balm container so that it would hold the container steady. I hope that helps!!

I poured hot melted homemade Chapstick into them strait from the pan, and I was crossing my fingers! They didn't melt one bit. :)

No, they would not leak. I poured a hot solution into mine & they were fine. Worked pretty great actually.

No - it doesn't work well...there is no stopper in the tube, so it just continuously drips. I would not purchase these again!

Hi There,I can't answer that as I use them for my daily pills so I have not used them for liquid. I will say they tighten up pretty tight. I just put water in one and it did not leak. Good Luck

You can use existing tubes. If the old tubes were holding air and maintaining a good pressure they should do OK.

No the liquid will be fine. Just fill to the line, let cool, be sure to pressure shut the lid.

Shouldn't be a problem but to be safe check the manufacturer's instructions. They are made to handle boiling hot liquids.

It will not. They have a silicone outside and cloth inside. You should be fine if you spill something hot on them. I would not suggest immersing them in boiling liquid however!

I would say yes, as you have to fill them in an upright position - I use a freezer safe cup, or the fluid will leak out around the cap, before the are frozen.

NO, unless you want it to leak everywhere... they are only for powder formula.

I haven't tried to do this but I would imagine since they are plastic they would melt - maybe not in short time increments. I wouldn't recommend it personally but that is just my opinion.

It depends. Some have a small plug in the bottom that may leak but others do not. I have taken the ones with plugs and just sealed them with silicon and never had a problem.

doubtful. this stuff only works for a short time, then the leak will re-develop. Especially, if leak is at an increased pressure point.

I don't think so, this is a static system, I would think that the additional pressure would cause leaks.

There should be no leaks. Be sure you have sealed the fittings with a good Teflon pipe joint sealer. If you still hear a leak, you may have a defective regulator.

I would think it would work if the acid isn't very strong. Once done I would store the acid in a separate container and flush the hoses with hot water.

Probably not, so long as they are completely swedged. The top tube must be to the appropriate line on the bottom. I had a hard time getting that to happen - had to oil the tubes to get them to swedge (per guidance from their customer service department).

They shouldn't leak from storing. If it has liquid or air in it, then too much pressure (like sitting on it) could fracture a seam. If it is just general use with no abuse I would contact Vapur directly. Most companies are good at helping and replacing: www.vapur.us/contact-us 888.834.8544 Email: info@vapur.us
