I normally buy a box of 100 16x125 borosilicate test tubes for normal usage, and a box of 10 Pyrex boiling tubes 25mm x 150mm.
these last a good 4-5 years (depending on workload and clumsiness).
damn pity you lived so far away, I have all sorts of flasks and measuring cylinders and test tubes etc...
I don`t own a Single beaker!

A good way to get beakers is coffee caraffes from Goodwill or whatever. A lot of them are pyrex and have nice handles on them. They don't look very
professional but they work well and are cheap as hell. I have them in all sizes from about 250 ml to a liter. I prefer regular beakers for the
storage convenience but coffee caraffes are a lot cheaper. Over the years I've rounded up some good labware on the net as well.

On emore thing- don't use deg F thermometers. Nobody reports parameters in archaic units except engineers.

Chemrox you can always convert.
And where the hell did you get a 500mL seperatory funnel for that price Slimz?
I need a new one badly.

MagicJigPipe, I think he was referring to agile-fx.com. In particular http://www.agile-fx.com/servlet/the-1951/Separatory-Funnel%2....
Slimz, have you gotten your glassware yet? I would be interested in knowing what you think of the quality of the glass, because I am interested in
buying some.

From the looks and joint sizes, that glassware is imported, made to the ISO DIN standards.
Would be nice to know what glassworks that they are getting their product from though.
Might be eastern Europe or China, cant tell.
