I hate them more than ISIS. Does anyone know a way to modify them to make them easier to use. Or better yet does anyone know anybody selling the old kind via the dark market, PM me if so?

So, there is a butteryfly in the nozzle.. if you take the nozzle off, it will be a plastic butterfly.. you can cut it out, twist it for always open or do what you want..
Be warned, it will vapor off if this is done, but its better than fighting the safety..
You can also find the older style nozzles often and they will fit the new cans..
Hope this helps..

I got fed up with them as well. I was spilling gas all over the place every time I used them. For a few dollars more you can get these heavy duty racing fuel cans for transporting your liquids....http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Pack-VP-R...pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item2c819363c4&vxp=mtr
I think that might be the winning ticket.

I can't stand the new cans either. I spilled gas all over the place trying to finagle them when pouring. I would like to purchase the old caps also.
You can buy replacement spouts (pricey).
You can swap the spout with pic pipe.
You can also buy the old style vents, drill a small hole in the rear and snap them in (about $1 each). I put them in all of my cans (about 15).
Glad I bought a bunch of the last style can when these came out, think I got them for under $5 each back in 08. The spouts are now worth a lot more than that.
Now for the real deal, go get some blue water containers (6gallon). They still have the old style spouts and are made of the same material but are blue. I know pats hardware in st francisville sells them for under $15 each.

See this link for what I am referring to. Spend another dollar and out the old style vent in the back and have a real useable can for cheap.

Did that to some of the ones I have like that for "gas" and it works good. They have to sell them as "water" cans now to get around the CARB compliance rules.
Sad day when you have to talk about pre-ban gas cans!

MURICA!!!
Tractor Supply used to carry a kit, comes with a spout, a vent cap, and a threaded top for the spout they were like 12 bucks a year ago, i bout 5 sets and drilled small holes in my cans for the vents.
Ebay has older cans. Then drill a 1/2" and pull a valve stem thru hole. Pull core out and put cap on

I tried that on one of my cans, it worked but one day the can expanded and I moved it not realizing and when I set it down the valve stem broke due to pressure.
I just use a siphon with the glass ball now on the crappy cans, empties a 5 gallon can in under a minute!
I pulled those shitty spouted garbage cans and replaced them with with these:
Those things they now sell, infuriate the living **** out of me.
Had 2 of them outright break to pieces during use, and others profusely leak, otherwise.
Thanks to a handful of brainless oxygen thieves that couldn't properly handle any kind of flammable substance, in a hermetically sealed container, much less tie their own shoes, and the legal system that they use to aid in breeding said stupidity, we're the ones being punished.
Just like the whole anti-gun issue, the fuel containers were never the problem.

The hardware store near my house used to sell the old school nozzles. I haven't seen them in a while though. The new cans suck a big one no doubt, but the one good thing about them is I have not had a gas can stolen out the back of my truck since they came out. Even lazy ass thiefs are smart enough to know they are junk and leave them alone. That's even when gas was higher than giraffe p***y.
