If anyone has one of the old, old wide-mouth Nalgene bottles, pre-BPA free, that they can give up, I am in desperate need. We have a machine at work that uses one of the old bottles, and it has developed a leak. It has to hold under pressure, and the newer style seems to have a slightly different thread angle, and won't work. We will be happy to replace it with a new one.

We'd rather not replace the whole unit unless we have to, especially over something as piddly as a Nalgene bottle! Please PM me if you can help.

Thanks!

Does it matter if it's covered in stickers? If not, feel free to PM me.

I'll send pictures when I get home. They're at least a decade old and milky white, but I think they say BPA free on them. Purple screw on lid with smoke colored flip-top over a white nozzle.

I have some that are (possibly) older than you are, Diane!

PM me your email, and I'll send you photos of what I have (both hard plastic and soft plastic — choice of colors!). I never did throw them away. ;^)

When I said quick, I didn't think it would be this quick! I have one on the way, but please send me photos still–we may need several for replacement!

BPL rocks! Even old, outdated, heavy backpacking equipment, you all can deliver!

I have nothing to add to this thread except "WOW! What an awesome community of great people!"

Diane,
I have an old green one, definitely before the BPA-free version. It's the polycarbonate (Lexan) variety. PM me if you still need some and we can work out the details.

Diane,

I'm so curious . . . what kind of machine uses a nalgene bottle? What does it do?

Hey! Watch it, I resemble that remark….

Dang, BPL does rock. Let me give it a shot. Hopefully I can get good results her too:

Does anyone have an older style magic wand lying around? I need to wip up some piles of gold. The newer ones only change the channel on my tv. If you can provide, I will send you one of our new ones that has a full qwerty keyboard on it.

I have three milky white Nalgene bottles, HVPE, number two plastic. Send me a PM and I will ship them to you at my expense to help. Although I do not often post, BPL has been source of helpful information for about five years.

Thanks everyone who rushed to the call of duty and offered up Nalgenes. We were able to acquire three replacements, which should keep us in working order for a good, long time, considering that the first bottle lasted about 20 years! This community is fantastic!
