The ones mlsully posted are empty, but they come with a little chamber you can fill with something to cause the vapors to condense and gather on.. most commonly people use stainless steel dish scubbing pads (pro tip: you can get them at the dollar store). So this type of can, while empty, can easily be adapted into being functional.

As far as the ones with the breather vents - if you are going to delete the PCV system you would run one of these with the breather vented to atmosphere though the filter... If you are going to add the can into the OEM closed loop PCV, you want one without the breather vent. Some can be configured either way.
Thanks for the information, very helpful. For the Catch Can you posted, do you only buy one?
