Anyone have one 1.5 liters or smaller that is in functioning condition for sale around Fullerton? I've ordered 2 from Amazon and neither hold a prime in the acrylic update tube.

You should post a photo of your tubing. It should hold the liquid unless there is a leak some where in the connection.

Yeah, I have the same problem. I have 4 versas, 3 are taken liquid from an acrylic container bought from Amazon, and one from Home Depot 5-gallon bucket. All of them have bubbles in the flexible silicon tubes. Don't know how to get rid of them. Please help.

Usually it is the connection between acrylic tube and that connector. Check for leak there. Some people add silicone there to stop the leak. Do you have photo of the connection and tubing. I prefer containers that use John Guest fittings. The acrylic tubing should fit in John guest fitting, and there is also barbed fitting into John guest as well.

Just a note: on the containers, the lid should not be air tight, so it doesn’t create vacuum as more liquid is drawn out.

I’ve got some unused before, trigger dosing containers I believe 1.5L each and a somatic stacking space save dosing set.

Pm if interested.

I've tried gluing the tube to the bulkhead/nozzle and there is still an air gap somewhere. It looks like they didn't make a clean cut in the tubing. Not looking to try and fix it anymore, just looking to buy a something that functions correctly.

Yeah, some of these use very cheap parts. This is why I recommend using John Guest fittings, this is industry standard and proven.
