By color. First gasket was brownerWait... whats this about new gaskets? How do you know if you have an old one?
I'm going with a silicone gasket in the base now rather than latex. No oder and is more resilient than latex. About the same cost so I made the switch.
Soon we'll be switching all cap gaskets to FDA food safe Nitrile rubber. Performs as well as latex with little or no smell associated with it.

Yeah, glass against glass doesn't always take much of a bump. I hope you still have a stem at least.My glass insert has a piece break off this morning when I was tapping the end of the Solo PVHEGonG on it (lightly!) to loosen the last bit of the ABV inside the stem. I do wish the glass were a bit stronger, but I understand that the purpose of the outer shell is to protect the glass in the first place. Its a tough balance =x

Just to clarify, the Jyarz took a hit, the PVHEGonG was undamaged. That bad boy is solid as a rock.
yesCan I get a replacement for my black one to ship with it in one package?

As always I try to take care of my friends on FC, so if you're having issues with the smell of your latex gaskets, please write me (support@jyarz.com) and indicate your FC member name. I'll send you a free replacement gasket made from a FDA safe Buna-N rubber. They have very little if no odor and I find the "product" doesn't stick to it very much. Soon we'll switch over to this material "whole hog" but while we make the switch I'm happy to provide freebies to our loyal FC followers...you all continue to amaze me.

@JyARz .............
Now I'm sure it won't be a major issue but it seems like the white containers arent exactly light/UV proof. Its actually raining right now so the light through that window isnt very strong.
If I had known that I probably would have gotten a different color. Anyway that's just a minor gripe but I wanted to bring it up in case someone else can find this info useful.
Also I think the white unit is an older one since it came with the brown gaskets. Did someone say earlier that we can get replacements made from the new material?
Last but not least... is there a better ETA on the larger Jyarz?
Isn't there two different whites ? Purist White & White ? I though it was mentioned preciously (sorry, too baked to search), that one of them was slightly translucent.
