Questions, questions, questions...
Why aren't the vials available in the US?
Is the size of the vial 28MM?
Can someone point me to a reliable and honest vial vendor?
Many thanks.

EskaypeeUmmm because it's a radioactive isotope. in the vial it's harmless but if ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin it's a radiation hazard. The U.S. obviously has some concerns about letting their citizens having it readily available to them.

EskaypeeTEC Accessories actually recommends this vendor: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?400324-Merkava-Tritium-Vials
He was also recommended in one of the other massdrop threads.
P.S. From what I have read, it is illegal in the US to sell any radioactive materials used for 'Frivolous' purposes. Buying / posessing apparently doesn't violate any law, however

EskaypeeMerkava is a great seller, I've bought quite a few tritium vials from him. Takes around 2 weeks for the vials to get to your door. Find him on Candlepower Market Place. For Sale: Tritium Vials http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=170374
That thread has all you'll need

RetromanTritium isnt harmful in any meaningful way, it can be used for illuminated weapons sights and for that reason is controlled.

robotraI stand by my original comment. A small vial like that which would be used in these fobs is way below any unsafe measures but I would imagine they don't allow domestic sales of tritium because at higher quantities it most certainly is dangerous. As I said externally it's no danger at all but inhalation, digestion or absorption through the skin is dangerous.
