[PccChocolate]

These look awesome! I'd love to grab one while I can!

 

[AgentMidas14]

Hi I'm interested to buy one

 

[AgentMidas14]

Thanks! I dabbled in the resin printing of these as well, coming to the same conclusion. In this case, there's just no substitute for the real thing.

I'll add you to the list and we'll see if more interest crops up!

Hi I'm interested into buying im an huge fan of The boys so I'm interested to buy one and how the buying process works

Hi all!

A third run is possible with enough interest. Please express your interest via DM to me or in this thread!

HISTORY:

I have been re-watching The Boys and Gen V, and I thought it might be nice to have a vial or two of Compound V in my collection.

Imagine my surprise when I went online and discovered that glass vials with the conical internal bottom are not only insanely expensive, but also only sold in cases of 6. It appears that Wheaton has a patent/trademark on the "V-Vial®", which means they can set the price, as is quite common in the medical and scientific industries. No wonder they waved those vials around in the show so much; they're elite!

I was wondering if there might be interest in a mini-run of these, where I could do a group buy from Fisher Scientific Zoro (best price I could find) and offer them individually. I'm not looking to make a profit; I just wanted to get one for myself. I checked eBay, Amazon, Etsy, all the usual suspects, and there doesn't seem to be anything better out there. And these are shiny and new!

SPECS:

After much searching and research, I have concluded that the Boys V-Vials are 10 mL in size, which is the largest available. Specs from Wheaton are as follows:

• Outer Diameter: 24 mm (~15/16")
• Inner Diameter: 24 mm (~15/16")
• Height: 72mm (~2-13/16")
• Capacity: 10 mL
• Material: Borosilicate Glass, Type 1

They come with a 24-400 screw-top rubber-lined black phenolic screw cap faced with PTFE. The lids are partially ridged:

Additional tech specs can be found here.

(As you can see, I am being transparent about my supplier. I am getting no special deal. This is a group buy.)

PRICE:

Price is $30 USD for each vial kit, free shipping in the US, $10 FLAT to ship rest-of world. Shipping is combined for multiple vials.

WHAT YOU GET:

I am also providing a painted, resin 3D printed lid that more closely matches the TV show (at no extra cost). It will be finished as follows:

• Airbrush in high-gloss black, then
• airbrush Alclad II Polished Aluminum, then
• airbrush Alclad Aqua-Gloss clearcoat.

View attachment 1833954 View attachment 1833942

Therefore, you will receive:

• 1 x 10 mL glass V-Vial with closure
• 2 x resin 3d-printed custom lids (1 finished, 1 unfinished)
• 1 x o-ring (R-12, AS568 #115, 11/16" ID, 7/8" OD)
• 8 x pre-cut self-adhesive vinyl dots

View attachment 1833943

HOW TO ASSEMBLE:

Simply insert the provided o-ring into the painted lid, add your liquid, and screw on tightly to ensure an airtight seal.

You'll have to provide the blue or green Compound V fluid yourself, but this is my recommended recipe:

• 50% distilled or RO water
• 50% ISO alcohol (to prevent fungus)
• 1-2 drops glycerin (to prevent settling)
• Food coloring to preference (1 drop is too much for 10mL...make a large batch)

HOW TO ORDER:

If you're interested, please DM me or post a reply to this thread; I will add your name to the Reservations list above.

I will not take any payment until the supply is in-hand, and I will provide photos (with painted caps) in this thread as proof that I have them ready to go. I will ask for payment at that time. Once I have done so, you will have ONE WEEK to provide payment or your reservation may go to someone else!

TURNAROUND TIME:

It takes as much as a month for Zoro to ship me the vials, so I will keep you posted in the thread. Once I have the vials, I will be taking payments and shipping daily!

WHAT'S NEXT:

If there are more requests after the current run is completed, I may consider another run.

The vials of green "Temp" V are much smaller and offered in another Run thread. Only the larger vials for blue V are being offered in this thread.

Thanks for your consideration!
Bill

if you ever plan on doing another run of these or have any extra for sale I am DYING for one.

 

[Astyanax]

Adding you to a third run interest list in the first post!

[Fuzethehostage]

Yeah thanks a lot I'm sure we're all very excited at least I know I am :3

 

[Astyanax]

I've been informed that the vials are back-ordered, and will be a few weeks getting here. I'll update as soon as I know more.

sounds good, thanks for the update!!

 

[Starganderfish]

Received mine today, shipped to Australia. Very well packaged, and incredibly comprehensive kits.
The glass vials came with the stock plastic lid, an unpainted 3D painted lid and a painted 3D printed lid.
Rubber seals and spare vinyl patches.
The Temp V vials look REALLY small but based on screenshots from the show they're definitely the perfect size. The full compounded V vials look amazing.
Just need to put some glycerine, water and colouring together to fill them for display.

Super happy with this run and the pieces delivered!!
Huge thanks to Astyanax for arranging this!
Grab them while you still can folks.

 

[Pallando]

Hi, can you put me on the list for one?
