What do I need to buy, to measure ml. ?

[MickiO]

At the risk of sounding stupid, what do I need to use to measure ml. with?
I've read about DIY alot on this forum, there's alot of helpful info, but I can't find anything that tells how to measure liquids/ml. other than 1 ml.= 20 drops. Is there a vial or something I can buy to measure out ml.?

Not a stupid question at all. We, here in the U.S., aren't used to dealing with ml - we're used to teaspoon, tablespoon measurements LOL

What you need to get is a syringe like when you get a shot from the doctor. The needle is up to you. There are vendors on here that carry them. I get mine from our local feed & tack store. Some pharmacies will sell a couple to you. Depending on the laws of your state. I don't use a needle on mine, but that's just preference.
You can also use children's medicine droppers. Easily obtained at Walmart or any drug store.

Here is a site with teaspoon/ml equivalents
measurement of medicines

Hi, I'm stupid too. But just bought a 100ml beaker, looks like an 8" high test tube, will 2ml graduations marked on it. Otherwise, you can get a common syringe, some do have ml markings, no needle required. Great for smaller amounts of flavors, etc.

Lalesa We both posted at the same time! Love your avatar, is he a friend of yours??
Good point with the dropper, I haven't seen a marked one for a long time, guess I was looking in the wrong place! Thanks.

Remember also that 1mL=1cc. You will come across 'cc' units as well.

Thanks so much all you guys, I want to try using unflavored mg and add my own flavors,

That the US didn't convert to the Metric system when I was in the 1st grade is what is stupid. What a country!

I have an old syringe I had for my pets medicine, it has marked "cc" marked on it, guess I could use that. Or on second thought, that kinda creeps me out, if I washed it out real good, oh fiddle, maybe I'll invest in a new one. lol

I bought one of these at CVS in the childrens area:


Dropper Dispenser

Works perfect for me!
The one I got has the ml and tsp measurments on the dropper and the dispenser.
Hope this helps.

I got childrens medicine droppers free at Walgreens. Just ask for them at the pharmacy counter.

Hmmm, you know, syringes are cheap enough that I think I'd get a new one as well....
