Twister tube where to buy

Ordering was fast and easy. A little spendy but the least expensive than anywhere else I found. Delivery was also fast and everything was intact and ready to use! Thank you! Jan 30, Dec 29, Dec 22, At a local restaurant I met a former student. I taught kindergarten for over 20 years. This young man said the one thing he remembered was the tornados we made and he wanted to reproduce this for his son. I ordered it for him and made his Christmas. Nov 21, While I am sure that these coupling devices would contribute to an entertaining and educational experience in a classroom, I was looking for something to help me out around the kitchen.

I use them to fill smaller, one liter, bottles from larger, say one gallon, bottles without making a mess. I just have one of my one liter bottles that I have cut the bottom off of, therefore making it a somewhat functional funnel.

OK, I must admit that after I filled the vinegar and peanut oil bottles I needed to fill I spent about an hour playing with tornados in my kitchen.

I remember that experience as a child, it was one of the things that got me interested in science. By the way, do you make them for larger bottles? If so, I would like to get some of them too. Apr 29, Great product. Its the best way to do the hurricaine in a bottle science project for kids.

Shipped and arrived quickly. Apr 22, Anyone who has enjoyed watching spinning water will continue the fascination with these. Good for all ages. Apr 21, Mar 28, They leak a bit but still keep the kids engaged.

Owner Response: We are sorry your connectors are leaking. Have you removed the safety ring from the cap? If not, the connector will not seal properly. If you continue to have problems, please return your bottle connectors for a replacement or refund. Mar 11, I remember soda bottles been more standardized, but today there are so many sized necks that when stirred, it just makes a mess on the floor, whether carpet or not!

We have found, however, that if the cap's safety ring is not removed from the neck of the bottle, the Vortex Connector cannot be screwed down enough to form a good seal. The ring can be easily removed using a scissor. Please let us know if you have any difficulty moving forward. Thank you for your review! Nov 27, The vortex bottle connectors were great! There were a few leaks here or there, but that may have been my bottles.

The kids had a blast with them, and they served as a great learning tool. If I had one complaint to voice, it would be that there wasn't much color variation In a set of 10, I received 6 yellow ones, 2 red, 1 blue, and 1 green. Try to mix it up a bit in the future! Otherwise, great product, fast shipping, easy service. Owner Response: Thank you, Kimberly. We will try to do a better job of mixing up the colors.

Also, check your bottles to be sure the safety ring has been removed from the neck. If not, that will cause the bottles to leak. May 7, Fairly inexpensive and very easy to use but they are not good to use with one-liter bottles, only two-liter ones. Owner Response: Lee, thank you for your review. The tops of all new one and two-liter bottles are manufactured with the same specifications so our bottle connectors should work well with both.

Please be sure to remove the bottom security ring from the neck of the bottle when attaching the Tornado Tube. This will assure a tight fit. Mar 22, Mar 14, The tornado connectors are always a big hit at school. The product has been modified from previous orders and they are much better now. They are durable and prevent leaking. Jan 23, These work great to connect two bottles! The kids had so much fun with this experiment! Dec 14, These are good but wish they would fit the 20 ounce bottles.

I teach Pre-K and the 2 liter bottles are just to big and bulky for my students to handle once you have added the water.

Owner Response: Thank you for your review. Our bottle connectors are also perfect for use with 1 liter bottles. This should help with those tiny hands.

Oct 25, An impression was given that these will fit on a 2 liter bottle, but they do not. Our bottle connectors fit on all average size bottles; 1,2 and 3 liter bottles.

They will even fit on some small 20 oz bottles. One thing you must do is to be sure the plastic ring, which is often left behind when the bottle is opened, is removed. If the ring remains on the bottle, you will not get a tight fit on the bottle connector.

Oct 17, Oct 8, They work great but feel brittle. We will see when we start shooting off our rockets. Sep 24, May 29, These were a great for a birthday party project! The kids loved them and learned something while doing it. The tornado tubes have been the best thing I could buy for my special science class. Students who didn't like science can't stop twirling the bottles, watching the "tornado" inside. It's great for open house as the parents get involved as well.

I put out several bottles with different food coloring added to the water. It makes a very colorful display. The most important thing about the tornado tube besides it being a great teaching tool, it is a great motivator. Students receive points for doing science homework and classwork. They can then cash in their points for "prizes.

What a twister!!! May 25, I've used these bottle connectors on 12 oz bottles and 2 L bottles. They work great and don't leak! I've had a 2L bottle set up in my office for several years with no problems, despite lots of people playing with it!! May 22, If you're having a science party, kids will love learning how to make their own "tornado" in a bottle.

It's a fun, active way to teach them about vortexes and they'll be thrilled that they can take their projects home. My nine year old son really enjoyed using one of these for a science project on Whirlpools. They are very easy to work with. A little food coloring in the water and you're good to go.
