Go buy more verm. Or make filtered lids with self healing injection ports. The obvious thing to do is just go buy more verm. Don't substitute perlite. It won't work

make a filtered lid with tyvek as filter then. worst case scenario you'll still just have to throw them away...

Making a filtered lid is much the best choice for a newbie anyhow, as if you're anything like I was you'll be picking up your jars everyday (looking for growth) and disturbing your verm layer!
