im sorry, i should elaborate a bit... I completely understand doing the PF tek since you have to take out the cake whole but when spawning to bulk i dont see how it could make a difference?

well it depends on the tek you're using, if you're doing a brf tek then you need the wide mouth jars so that you can take out the cakes once there ready to be birthed, but if you're using grains then it dosnt matter since you can just pour them out

Not sure what area you live in, but here every decent grocery store and pretty much every hardware store has plastic widemouth lids for jars. They are cheap to.
I'm pretty sure that you could easily order them online as well.
Google "plastic widemouth lids"

its honestly really weird, i bought a pack ( of 8 ) from walmart of the widemouth lids like a while ago. they had a ton so i figured id try out a few to see if i can get them to work before buying a bunch then as soon as i made the lids and did a tub i went everywhere to look for more widemouth ones but all ANYONE had/has is the regular mouth ones now (and ive been looking everytime i go to walmart)... i know it doesnt make sense lol but idk whatever

For G2g masters I prefer regular mouth because it's easier to pour into receiving jars. But for everything besides masters, I prefer wide mouth
It really doesn't matter though. Wide or regular mouth are both fine for grains

So, just to clarify, do you not need the widemouth for PF TEK? Is it just better but not required? Do the cakes break up upon birthing with regular mouth?

You will not be able to get the cakes out in one piece unless the lids are wide mouth without shoulders.

You want to use half pint short wide mouth jars for cakes.
Like the one on the very right....so they just slide right out in one piece.

For grains, small mouth jars are better. Metal lids are also better. Avoid plastic ones. RR

Can you elaborate please?
The only way I can see a small mouth jar being better than a regular mouth jar is if the small mouth jars are your masters, and the receiving jars are wide mouth.
This would make G2G transfers slightly easier, but other than that, if spawning to a tub or pan, does it really make a difference?

Small month jars are better for grains because they have a smaller opening. The smaller opening gives less of an opening for contaminates to invade.
