Different syringes for mixing each flavor?

[paddymx]

I used to have to replace the syringes alot due to the numbers disappearing until I heard you can put a piece of scotch tape over them. Since I have done that, I haven't had to replace the syringe and the numbers stay perfect on the syringe!

Packing tape on syringes.
Sometimes it is the simplest things that are the hardest to see. LOL!

Great tip!!!

I use clear nail polish. Tape tended to peal at the corners.

Same here. The clear nail polish has worked so far and all my numbers are still readable.

I thought about clear nail polish; but worried that it would leach into my juice.

I'm a bit confused as to how it would leach?

I was wondering about clear nail polish but the tape has worked fine so I never tried it. Had thought about it though.

I figure I will be doing this awhile so I got some glass syringes - 1ml 2ml 5ml. They are really nice to work with. Easy glide every time. As far as switching out blunt tips, I don't bother. Just wipe off the outside of the needle. After all, its all going in the same mix. I should add, I do use all three syringes. 5ml for nic pg and vg. 1ml and 2ml for flavors.

Think this purchase is in my very near future, in fact, goes along with advice I've given many times to others about tools like wrenches, screwdrivers, sockets, etc. ...... Buy the very best you can afford, it will last a lifetime, & be a pleasure to use each time you pick it up

I love this big 30 ml syringe I have. Instead of a needle there is a long blunt plastic tip at the end that is perfect for using with VG. Since my juices are 100% VG, I use alot in my batches and this syringe has become my favorite that I use just for the VG.

Link, Mom?

I've had it for so long that I forget where I got it from. Sorry. But here's a pic. Lol.

 

[StereoDreamer]

Yes I would appreciate links to sources for the glass syringes as well. I'm getting tired of replacing these crappy plastic ones...

 

[MiamiMom63]

It could have come from the drug store even. I forget. Sometimes they have stuff in the baby isle of things to use for babies.

Someone else posted these, they look awesome, just trying to figure out which ones I want!

EDIT: you'll also need blunt SS needle tips:

Does a 12 or 10 gauge loc leur exist? 14 is ok for VG, bigger be better though.

I did that the first time, but then I realized that won't wash off the smell completely and sometimes there are 2 flavor just can not go together. So I use diff syringe each flavor, then I wash them carefully and dry them completely before next use.

Should I be using different needles/syringes for mixing a batch?

I'm currently injecting & pumping out hot water between flavors & nic to rinse out the syringe, and use a different & larger one for my PG. I realize its not 'pure' of course and may contain trace amounts of water, but do I need to purchase a bunch of syringes?

Thanks for finding those links. I may have gotten it from One Stop DIY Shop. Lol. Not sure. I tried looking for it earlier today to post a link and couldn't find it.

I often don't use needles, and just stick the whole syringe into the bottle.
I should have mentioned that.

 

[Hoosier]

Ah, I don't use needles either, but just have the tip in contact with the liquids. Never thought of putting that far in, so I was confused.
