There is variation in pickle jars. Some you clean out w soap and water and they don't smell. Some keep smelling. The ones that keep smelling have obviously absorbed ions from the pickles, olives or spaghetti sauce they once held. These ions will mess with your colloidal silver making. Oh....you can make colloidal silver in such jars but it won't be as good as making it it a virgin glass jar. Some say you won't get as high uS final result. What I saw was a brighter laser beam meaning more particles and agglomeration in the ex-pickle jars. I got a fainter laser beam in the virgin glass jars
Problem with mason jars is you have to buy a dozen. In Wal-Mart I saw some cookie jars that would be good. Another route is the salvation army. They have lots of used glassware, vases, cookie jars and some have never held anything that would contaminate it garrick On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 8:18 PM, bodhisattva <[email protected]>wrote: > I use pickle jars from Costco.
