similar kind of stuff, about 2p each lol. Minumum order is a bit of a prob though, 10,000 lolol

Is that the same kind of thing that you get in those air freshener diffuser things?   Could try recycling?  May taint your juice a bit though

I was going to try that, another thought I had was the airstones you can get for fishtanks/ponds, they are porous

no don't think they are, think I read somewhere that they are made with something else in them which can make you ill with the symptoms starting like having a cold

I've read that they've been mentioned somewhere too and i think they would work just not sure how you get the right shape and diameter

I think with careful work with a Dremel, you might just get away with it

Hmmmm great money making opportunity here if they're only 2p each that's only £200 (ex VAT, customs, carriage, duty etc).

If theyre being sold for approx. £13.50 for 3 that equates to £45,000

I might do that actually, the last time I tried it I didnt have a dremel, the small tools are excellent, loads of abrasing possibilities as well. Even for cutting off a bit for experimenting would be relatively easy. The only things I has before were for cutting paving stones lol, didn`t go to well lolol

It is interesting, you can ask them to custom make them for diameter and length, not sure they would be porous enough though, some of them even have a hole through the centre, silaca wick may help the liquid get where you want it

I've just looked at these in the link from Robby and aren't the same thing, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that these are made with something in them that gives of a toxin which could be harmful give you cold like symptoms. Just can't find where I read it
