Did I get the right kind of jars?

I had someone go out and get wide mouth jars for me, but they don't look like the cake would just fall out of them because the opening of the jar slopes inward a bit. They're 1 pint Ball jars, and I'm beginning to think that my friend didn't check to see if they're wide mouth. Do all wide mouth jars slope inward slightly at the opening? Will the cake still come out easily after the substrate is colonized? Also, I'm unable to find 1/2 pint jars in my area. Is it alright to use pint jars for the PF Tek?

No wide mouth jars are even all the way down.
And for the pint brf/verm deal Im not sure with, I know people dont use them big jars that often Im not sure what the cause is but I would recomend taken them back and go to walmart and get half pint wide mouth jars.
Or.. YOu can do grain

Target, Meijer and Walmart all sell them.
You can also get regular mouth but they have to be the ones with the top wider then the bottom and no shoulder.
I use the regular mouth ones with no shoulder and have no problems getting cakes to slide out.

Like I said, half pint jars are not sold in my area. I've been to Walmart, Target, Hobby Lobby, etc. No place sells them here. Will pint sized jars work?

If you're going to use pint jars, you may as well try grain. It's really easy. Check the WBS tek in my signature to get started.
The thing is, a pint of WBS would colonize in half the time that a pint of BRF would.
If you use grain, you'd most likely be better off spawning to bulk, so you'd have to learn about that and get that ready.
Otherwise, pint jars will work, you're just looking at a long colonization period.

Is it a good idea for me to use that tek for my first try? I don't want to mess anything up due to lack of experience.

Its not any harder the brf jars.
I did some of both(cakes and grains) and both worked just fine.
Just follow a tek to the T that you like and you cant go wrong and youll get a bigger flush outa your time

You can fill the pint jars halfway and use them that way. Only drawback is you can't use a dry verm layer.

He might not be ready (or wanting) to spawn just yet. If you do grains, learn about spawning and bulk substrates soon.

The WBS Tek seems too vague with its instructions - "just throw in about the amount you think you'll need." Also, I've already bought most of the materials that I need for the PF Tek and I don't want to spend more money. Again, does anyone actually know if pint sized jars will work with the PF Tek?

You can use pints. The pack of jars will be labeled "wide mouth". If the ones you have say "wide mouth" on them, then they will work. Kerr brand says "wide mouth" on each jar.
