Pop bottles are ideal - they are designed to withstand all of that CO2 under pressure.

Like the idea of Listerine bottles - no chance of confusing with the pop bottles that I use for water. I'm sure that there must be other lightweight bottles with a good seal and an odd shape out there.

I've been using this on top over last year. Really like it.

those tiny rubber o-rings can work magic stopping leakage on certain bottles... and maybe trying out different lids (without the fancy nozzle it is then! For the Vargo bottle the nalgene lids have a good fit). i did the same on my Vargo bottle. But otherwise Listerine bottles, as stated before, are free, robust as hell and available everywhere.

You know I didn't even think. I've been looking for fuel proof bottles too
Alternatively, If you prefer a squirty nozzle, I can sell you one of these..

I also use these little conical shaped antibac refills. Not seen them for a while, used to be about 90p for two.
I can’t tell you about the quality of the contents I’m afraid.
I’m sure you can guess where they go

My solo pot is a Toaks 750ml and it's been surprisingly difficult to find an alcohol bottle that fits inside with everything else and holds >100ml. My new Nalgene 125ml does but it has a wide-mouth cap, rather than a squirty one, so I'm not sure how it will work in practise. A squat ~200ml bottle would be perfect but doesn't exist, AFAIK.

A couple of these 100mm bottles would probably fit. 103mm high, 45mm diameter. Depends what else you store inside, I suppose.

I use this 100ml one which fits inside my rolled-up cone and find it perfect:

If I need to carry more than that, I use this 250ml one, carried separately in the pack:

Never had either fail/leak, but have now bought sufficient replacements of both to see me out.

I had one of the flat 250ml bottles (pictured above) split at the neck and leak. Probably when in luggage compartment of a bus. These days I prefer a plastic that is a little more flexible. For larger volumes I just use a 500ml soft drinks bottle, for smaller volumes one of the Coghlans bottles with a turret spout.
