Edit to add: I am having samples from several vendors sent to me. Hopefully within a week or two, a viable alternative will be available.

As many of us have become all to familiar, the caps provided to us by API for their test kits are notoriously leaky. If you read the post referenced above, I've started the trek for the Holy Grail: A replacement cap or stopper for our tubes that won't leak when we do the shake, rattle, 'n' roll for our nitrate testing.
I have spoken with the vendor this morning, and since the tubes I am trying to purchase the caps for are not their tubes, they cannot promise a leakproof seal with the caps I was going to purchase (found here 12mm Thumb Caps (Multi-Color)). I am requesting information from them about alternatives (ie, non-reactive rubber stoppers, other caps, etc).
The exact price will depend on what item I am able to find. Once I find an appropriate replacement, I will post pricing here.
Shipping will be flat USPS shipping: $5.35 for a Priority Mail flat rate box. Right now, US folks only.
That being said, if I am able to find a suitable replacement cap for the leaky ones given to us by API, and you are interested in purchasing some from me, please reply to this thread with a quantity that you would like to purchase. Please reply even if you already posted in the other thread so that I have one consolidated location to go over for a final tally.
Thanks.
