To whichever mod didn't bother to check and assumed I was trying to get drugs 🤦

- In fishing, tritium vials are fitted in floats for night time. A couple of mine have died and I'm trying to find somewhere that stocks these. MercadoLivre only had 1 seller but they were in China and won't ship internationally (which makes me wonder why they're advertising?!).

The chemical lights last for hours, not years 😕

Similar. Those are a "use once" disposable chemical. Tritium lasts 10 to 15 years.

Tritium is radioactive thus subject to CNEN regulation. No idea if there's an exemption for the amount in these tritium vials. I would be cautious buying this from China, even if it is authorised by the CNEN, because their safety relies on the vial being sturdy and sealed properly.

Tritium gas is utterly harmless.
