Believe me, if i were living in the USA i would already had my no pour containers, but i don't live there and is hard to find and expensive shipping to mexico from the US.
I found a deal 81$ for 81 16oz ziploc containers. That's the best deal i can't get. Glad mini rounds are not available for international shipping anywhere, and the other options are expensive. So that's my only option, but now i have to spend 81$. Can't get less than 81 containers or they'll charge me the free shipping which is like 160$ to mexico.

Violet said: What's wrong with them being 16oz? Obviously I've had no problem whatsoever using them for agar. But the 16oz, combined with the screw-top lid style, means that your investment has countless potential uses, even just within mycology stuff alone. I'm not gonna pretend it's your least expensive option, you'll spend $50 on that many containers. But it will most definitely, without a doubt, by far be your best investment.

Yes Violet i know you use them in your new tek that's why im looking something like that with the twist lock. The only two options is the 16oz ziploc ones and the 9.5 glad ones. Both are good but i can fit more in my Sterilizer with the glad ones.
So what you don't like is that you can't fit as many in the cooker at a time? I don't think that's a really big problem. Especially with a cooker a ginormous as yours (I just use an AA910 usually that fits 6, though sometimes I use an old standby that fits 8).
Something you might be interested in is my little trick for sterilizing inter-stacked containers, unstacking and lidding them in one's clean workspace. Check out my culture tech thread to see that trick. Use at your own "risk" :P
Even outside that, the main thing is that the wide variety of uses makes the containers far more worthwhile. Having to do another run or so to get as many dishes sterilized doesn't come close to being able to multi-purpose the container more than anything else that is manufactured.
Again, just my 2¢!
Yeah those 16oz containers can be used for anything really lol. Spawn, like Mudafuka bottles, agar. Fak double poss.

Just curious, why would you want to cook no-pour dishes when you can just pour dozens of dishes in front of your flow hood?
Edit: Assuming because the no-pours are reusable?

It's not a bad deal. If I were to buy 81 containers, it wouldn't be much less for me, once adding my local taxes. Too bad that you can't buy fewer. But if you were to follow my culture tech, for instance, and/or use V-tek or do half-size bottles of bulk/grain mix or BRF/verm, then you'd be very happy to use all of them. They're also amazing for taking high-quality aseptic spore prints, especially from first-flush invitro grows where they're practically perfect. With that minimum cost it's such an investment for you, though, that don't let me sway your decision more than inputting those true statements. Do what's best for you!

I like the short screw tops for growing things like pans or the odd vtek. I find them too big for agar though. I like to make transfers 20 at a time. I can't fit that many screw tops in my SAB or PC.

It cost about $1.50-$2 a plate to get petri dishes shipped to Canada. Pop top PP5s cost about 50 cents and can be used 100s of times.

My flow hood filter is fucked. I leave accidentally a quart jar of dry grain inside the flow hood room for two months i was on vacations. I came back and i had bug excrement all over the surfaces of the room including the flow hood and inside in the laminar sheets i saw bugs shitting there.
I tried to clean it with lysol and all sort of things. My success rate when pouring in the flowhood is like 70%. My success pouring in the SAB is 99%. But anyway, I want reusable containers because in fucking mexico petri dishes and parafilm are ridiculously expensive.

Violet, I do respect all the work you have done, your ziplock agar tek is what gave me the balls to get into agar. I must say that I found it trough searching agar teks tho.. And I do agree with 13shrooms that it comes off as self promotion and boasting. Trying to stay friendly here, just another perspective!

Stop worrying about the size and just fucking grow in it. I have literally seen everything pop up on this site from glasses to whiskey bottles to minirounds to actual bone-fide petri dishes.
What matters is sterility, not the vessel. Cultivate in anything you can find to hold agar sterile.
Having the perfect vessel should never hold anyone back from growing mushrooms. Technique needs to stop being about the vessel and develop into more universal principles.

Yeah man but he doesn't take into account that i live in a shit hole and can't find pp5 mini containers anywhere nearby so I have to order what is available in Amazon US and pay shipping and import fees to Mexico. If I was living in the US life would be pink, I would just go to Walmart and buy whatever i want. The mexican walmart doesn't have pp5 containers and i really can't find them in other stores.

I know how it is down there,
I have a friend down there that does mycology in the dumbest bottles I've ever seen but it's literally all he can get. Europe is like that too in some places. America forgets how good we have it IMO 
Even canadians pay crazy export fees.

So, Alien, do you feel like I'm committing shameless self-promotion? Because I felt like I was affirming what appears to be your best (almost only) choice by elaborating on how good of an investment you would be making. Does that mean I'm gloating to you? Boasting?

Dude, what the hell ever. Is this the only kind of post you make these days? Detracting posts that don't make any sense or are outdated?
I genuinely think these containers are great. He's asking about them already, and I gave a few examples as to other uses he could do with them.
Saying that they're perfect for taking sterile spore prints is not self-promotion, that's retarded. It's TRUE. It's a statement about their function. We all know that invitro fruits are as good as "sterile" and prints taken from in this manner are a sure thing. That's not self-promotion, it's just grow knowledge. Since when did grow knowledge become "self promotion"? If that's the case, then it's true for anyone.
Saying that they can be used for methods that I also use is not self-promotion, that's retarded. It's TRUE. It's a statement about their potential functions. I also mentioned methods that aren't "mine" (which, FOR SOME BIASED REASON, you didn't feel the need to highlight and ridicule? What's with that, huh?).
You can "disagree whole-heartedly with my methods" but that doesn't mean that me talking about them is making "a contest to get more people to use my teks". And where are you getting that bullshit, "or grow like a scared noob one mushroom at a time"? Say that about bottle tek, or even PF Tek for that matter, why don't you? You won't, because you're not right or smart, you're just a biased hater.
I'm giving the dude suggestions for how to use those containers that I am aware of. Would you have me give him suggestions that I am somehow UNaware of? Would you have me make up potential uses for them just so that I don't refer to things that I, myself, do with them?
And how is ANY of that "boasting"? Do you know the definition of that word? Or are you just trolling. Because all you're doing is flaming 
That's stupid. Your whole post, the attacking & trolling & belittling demeanor you created it from, and especially your stupid emojis punctuating every single sentence, it's all stupid.
There are other growers on this forum (smarter, better growers, more intelligent than you) that also use these containers and often use these methods. People who ARE TCs, or who at least deserve it more than you (namely Muda), who would get behind my statements about these containers' uses.
Pasty himself will tell you he uses these containers fairly often, and can get behind these statements about their uses. You're only spewing this shit because it's me. Try contributing something worth a damn instead of half of your posts being to belittle other people.

To the ppl that have problems on the forums. Ask yourself is it isolated or do I have problems with others ofte ? Do I have problems and conflicts with a few people or just a couple? Do ppl treat me differently or the same as everyone else. Then do some introspection.
I just put the few ppl that bother me on ignore.

Is 6.5 Oz smaller than the ziploc 16 Quart ones. those would be ideal for me but they are fucking expensive and not available international shipping for me.
