Anyone have any input as to which one is better? Looking to purchase a few for long term souring of beers
I do wish there was an easier way to mark the volume on the sides. I have been using a grease pencil (china marker) and need to re-mark every couple brews.
I have 2 "Vintage Shop" 6 gallon PET carboys. They do feel like heavier PET than the BB I have handled at my LHBS and they were significantly cheaper when bought on sale with Morebeer's free shipping over $59 deal.

Otherwise, these are excellent carboys.
How well do the orange carboy caps fit on those from MoreBeer? I use those to start a siphon to rack to the keg. They look awesome.
I just bought a 3gal Vintage shop bottle from Morebeer and emailed asking about the orange caps. They told me that the "smooth neck" caps will fit and I did place the orange cap on while washing and tipped it upside down without any liquid leaking out (I know gas exchange is more of a concern). I have yet to ferment in the bottle yet but will be doing so soon.

I have some vinyl decals specifically for marking carboys that you may want to check out.
The Vintage shop carboys flex more than the better bottles.
