From Amazon?

No, it was from Ali Express someone posted on the first page.

Got mine today. One black and one light grey. It's not silver or metallic looking. Texture is part of the coloured pieces (I'll call them brackets for now) Ignoring the bottle cap the bottle dimensions are roughly: 10.7 x 15.8 x 3.3 cm. The coloured brackets are about 4mm on the thin part. I was hoping they'd slide off quite easily to make swapping them over easy too. But trying to do so manually will so result in you losing your nails. Feel free to post solutions!

that's great. Published measurements are 109mm by 155mm by 34mm. Width and height won't affect too much estimated circuit board parts. Maybe hose could be 6mm and not 7mm.

What IF they were painted? Would not that make more sense?

Thank you… my original ones are still lost. The new set from Amazon has yet to ship..

Mine from Amazon shows just landed in Los Angeles from China

That explains why I takes so long

Mine got sent to the wrong post office so returned to the regional hub... ugh.

Surprise! It showed up just a few minutes ago - here's some photos with measurements for folks:

Thanks for share! Who will guess the cap wasn't round. What about the rubber? Could be easily removed?

I know, right? Here's the cap dimensions as well -

The "rubber" is actually hard plastic and seems to be welded to the bottle itself.

So, maybe, the silver part was painted and not removed from another bottle. All they used was a black one.

PS: Just speculating, but how would you remove the top hard shell without break it?

 

[Halliwax]

I would heat some water and soak it in it.. this is why I bought 2, one to experiment on

To me, makes more sense the "paint job" than the "unglue and glue" theory. I didn't know that was not rubber but hard plastic.

When in doubt check your screen caps to see what color is inside.

I did check on the ones I took. most of them are black...or dark. Only one of them looks like possible silver. Will double check again. Frame by frame. I was not looking for that when I grabbed mines.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

Check on this image. Black and Silver looks almost identical from the inside. Now remove the light and include some amber liquid. What do you think?

 

[Halliwax]

Pretty sure they just swapped tops…

At this point, I believe we are just guessing, since I could not find any single screen cap that shows that. IF you/me/anyone can remove the hard plastic top, without damaging it, I guess I will go that way. I bought 2 black and 2 silver.

 

[Halliwax]

Seeing when mine come in… curious what they did

 

[TJJohn12]

Swapping tops would be VERY hard - these things are hard plastic and the glue has fused the two elements together pretty firmly on mine.
