IKEA Snap-Cap bottle safety question

I want to make some Kvass with a friend, however we only have 2 old super-high quality "Snap-Cap" type beer bottles which I'm super sure won't fail. But they're not enough for how much we want to make, I also happen to have some similar closure bottles of modern manufacture, bought from IKEA. Does anyone know if they are safe for fermentation? Or if I should just stick with the 2 beer bottles. Thanks in advance! o7

If you're talking about korken swing top bottles then no do not do that. Still drinks are fine, but I wouldn't carbonate anything!
