Buying a syringe - embarassing

@ AGNES PEACOCK

i posted a link, see my previous post.

Just FYI, I think....

I am not sure if this is still true, but I believe that pharmacies are obligated to sell you syringes regardless of the intended use. This started years and years ago with the onset of the AIDS/HIV epidemic. I used to work in a pharmacy and I remember we told we had to sell syringes to anyone who requested them and we were not to even question what they were being used for. That didn't stop the junkies from telling us they were for their Grandmother or a friend, etc. You should have heard some of the stories they came up with.

Anyway, just my 2 cents... Please correct me if I am wrong, like I said this is how it used to be and I can't imagine that this has changed.

WoW there are some great stories on this forum. Goes from one extreme to another all the way down to self inflicted needle stick geez we are going to need a Universal Precautions team on site Dont let OSHA or JHACO get ahold of this thread LOL.

I didnt really think about how it might be difficult to get a delivery system. Working in the O.R. Im around bins of these puppies allthough I would never take from work I do have some in my old Special Forces Aid Bag here at home.

I would think an 18G (Pink) 1 1/2" might be ideal especially for those poking into carts so as to not make a big hole but I havnt got my supplies yet so I cant really say.

One practice we use is called single handed technique: lay down a towel take the cap off lay it on the towel then when you need to recap use only one hand to slide the needle back into the cap. Also please if you and a buddy are having a juice party set it down and let the other pick it up.

I also thought the drug stores let people have a couple for free without a problem to keep the spread of Hep/hiv but I really dont know?

Unfortunately not at all. Access is very location-dependent (state), and within many states it's pharmacy-dependent.

I don't know how much Staples charges but I doubt they can beat the price of the feed store. Only 25 cents. Plus you can get the syringe part in all different sizes. I got a larger one to squeeze juice out of carts before washing them. Works great. The larger one was 59 cents. Needles are 25 cents. Can't beat that. The ecig suppliers charge about $2 for them.

well i probably just spent more on the syringes than i needed, like $10 for 10 x 12cc but oh well, my luck i wouldn't find what i needed here.

i was going to say though, i did find a good blunt tip needle, luer lock too.

Amazon.com: Dispensing Needle, Blunt Tip 14 ga x 1-1/2" 50 pcs: Your Store

14ga, 1.5" and blunt. box of 50. yeah, don't need 50, but hey, share with your friends or something!

these should be thick enough to suck up nic juice, and hopefully still small enough to fit in most carts. i don't think it should be too much trouble, maybe a little larger than needed. i'll let everyone know after i get them.

It amazes me that pharmacies give people a hard time and refuse sale of syringes. A syringe should be sold with no questions asked; period. Especially if is was meant for something illegal. Then they wonder why diseases spread so quickly. (I tried very hard to not imply and dr*g talk)

 

[TurtlsPace]

please be careful how you dispose of your syringes, the needles specifically. i work in an er,the syringes we use have safety caps for proper disposal into red hazardous waste/sharps containers. i know you can take them to any doctor office or emergency room and have them disposed of safely.

 

[joannadiva]

I tried buying a syringe, and despite my look (I'm currently wearing a jagermeister shirt, with a hoodie under a jacket. I have unkempt hair and a beard.) I don't actually do any drugs other than nicotine and caffeine.

But boy was it hard to convince a pharmacist that I needed a syringe. He probably thought I was going to use it for ....... I tried explaining e-cigs to him but he said he wouldn't sell it unless it was for a medical purpose, the only ones they had there were for insulin.

I guess I'll just buy one online, it just sucks to pay shipping for a 25c-3$ item. I saw an oral syringe available OTC, but I figured I'd need a needle long and skinny enough to reach the bottom of a cartridge.

I don't think this post belongs anywhere specific, and figured this would be the appropriate section as it has to do with e-cigarettes (in this case, an accessory) in public.

On your next doctors appointment bring your e-cig. Show it to the doc explain the health benefits and that you need a few syringes to help fill your carts. Ask him/her to wright a script. or give a few samples from his/her office. That's what we did with our doc. He's very in favor of trying to help my husband get off analogs and willing to watch and participate in this experiment.

You're absolutely right. I don't have a need for it since I re-use when mixing juice, but they sell mini sharps containers at the Walmart pharmacy for about $3. If anyone thought they'd be going through them, that would be a good investment.

Last time I had to throw one away was after I gave my dog an injection. I just took the needle in a pair of pliers and rolled it down on itself about three times. Dropped it in an emty pop can an into the trash.

Not something I would suggest for copious needle consumption, but this works for the rare needle disposal.

I understand the use of syringes to fill cartridges, but I just cannot get the image of drug crazed addicts using them out of my head. When one talks about the image e cigarette users present to the public, this one will not be good. In fact, I just saw a reference to syringe toting e cig users on another forum.

Just a question to those of you using sharps... why do you prefre them to the blunt ones for inkjet printers? (Easy to get hold of, no 'embarassing' questions / situations, and no disposal problems)

 

[Caesarea]

Anyone got a good website for the inkjet refill syringes??

[Angela]

Got mine from ebay - eBay.co.uk Shop: Search results for Bulk Ink. - but there are lots of different sellers on there.

Any place that does 'inkjet refills' should sell them

Thanks, Angela! I'm being lazy! Sorry.

No problem

EDIT: One other little tip: the 'needle' fits snuggly into a standard-sized dropper bulb. I removed the glass tube from one and inserted one of the needles so that I have a 'dropper needle' aswell

So I went to this link on Amazon and further down the page there is this section titled "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed:" which you can scroll through. Only 8 items were listed there, most of them needles and syringes, but also:
Johnson Creek Original Tobacco Smoke Juice
Kensington Battery Pack

LOL, vapers are becoming recognizable on Amazon!

You can buy 14 gauge syringes ( aluminun hub needles)from Jeffers Pet for about 20 cents each. 14 gauge is pretty big. There is one ecig shop that sells one 17 gauge syringe for $2.25.

I buy my pet supplies here, so I'll get a couple of syringes while placing my order. What's 20 cents?
