Lens "mugs" - Are they "water bottles"?

Hey guys, didn't know where to slot this since it's part camera accessory... but also not really one.

Anyway, are the lens mugs like the new 100mm L macro "non-leaking"? I had a 70-200 coffee mug thing that had a hole at the top for the hot gas to come out from. I know there are those with screw-type lids now.. can those be used as water bottles?

The 24-70 "zoomable" mug has a screw on lid with an oring inside to seal it tight. I use it for iced tea and haven't had any issues. There isn't a lot of volume inside however, so if you're actually thirsty I'd suggest something else. I normally just use mine around the house.

Oh I'm buying it for a friend's birthday, so I was thinking that if she could bring it out to show off to her photog friends and all that it'd be cool haha. So what I'm looking for is an O-ring seal screw-on lid eh? Anyone know how to search for that on ebay?

I would suggest getting a real bottle. Less worries about it starting to leak.

edit - just read it will be a present, so ignore this

I have the 70-200 mug which is a press in lid that doesn't really fit tight, The 24-105 also has a press in lid.The 24-70 mug however has a snug fitting screw on lid that won't leak.
