Best syringe for filling eGo tanks

[Jennie O]

What is the best size/type of syringe for filling eGo tanks? The bottles I have from TV are very pointy and work well, but most other bottles are too short and round tipped. The pet and baby medicine syringes are also not pointy enough. I've Googled and seen some on vendors sites, but I don't want to get too small of a needle and I don't see any need for an entire box of them either.
Thanks!

I have a 14g one from OneStopDIYShop.com that works great

18ga will get U there

These bottles from madvapes work if you remember to poke a hole in the tip with a needle.

I am banking on those needle tips from madvapes because I don't like using the syringes... I have a lot of smaller bottles and the syringes do not work on those, plus it is a huge pain having to be so careful with huge needles.

Thanks all, I will check into both those options...needle-less sounds better to me too, wasn't sure if those curved tip ones I'd seen were small enough either though, and are hard to get cheap.

I use 1ml pipettes they work great and the perfect amount. No fuss and no mess. super easy

 

[Beez]

Kellie...no problem getting those into the bottles, or are you removing the drop tips first?

I have a TON of 1ml pipettes. I never use them, if you'd like I'd be happy to pop a few in an envelope for you. Pm me if you're interested and I'll mail them out for you. No reason to order or pay shipping for the cost of a stamp =)

I went to a local dentist office and got a syrenge that they use for cleaning testy. Where the needle would go it is about two inch plastic tip that is curved works lime a charm. Plus they gave me the first one, and told me if I wanted any more, that they would charge me $5, so I bought two more. I just fill through the hole made by the atty.

A needle inflator(used to inflate basketballs,footballs,soccer balls) works well and will screwdown securely on most juice bottles,and is available for cheap at most dept. store sporting goods section.

Maybe I'm not informed enough yet, but why are you using needles? It's easy enough to pop of the cap on the bottom, fill it up, and pop the cap back on... I've been using the same tank for the past week, refilling 3-4 times a day, and haven't had any problems with it.

Do they loosen up too much after a while? Start to leak?

I have an 18g needle and syringe, so if that's the better way to do it, I'll probably start using it, but I was just wondering why.

I do take the dripper top off fill the pipette and fill the tank. I have never taken the bottom cap off the tanks. I have had no problems with the tanks at all

Ive been taking the cap off, also for 3 or 4 times a day for the past 2 1/2 weeks on the same tank, and my daughter as well and we have no leaks or problems. Caps and seal are still like new. This is how its designed to be used.

I have been popping the cap off as well, but that means I have to touch the juice more, messier, and prying it 'may' cause it to not fit back on as tight after awhile. I'd like them to last as long as possible, and rinsing/cleaning does require taking the cap off.
So far I have not had any leak issues either. But if I can fill it through the hole without messing with the cap I just wanted that option.

I originally thought I'd want a blunt needle to refill. And I suppose I would at home if I had one. But, it's much easier to find a napkin or kleenex to stay clean while popping the cap off. Besides I don't want to carry a needle in my pocket.

 

[Lauralie]

So far I really like my needle tip bottles I got from madVapes - wish they were easier to squeeze but last minute trying to leave in the morning I fill 4 of them in less than one minute - no need to clean up any juice anywhere

 

[Jennie O]

Yeah, it's not really a time crunch thing or portability issue, just wanting to not weaken the cap. Definitely use a napkin or kleenex if I have to right now.

I have been popping the cap off a lot too but i recently got my order from madvapes and that pointy bottle works perfect.
