Thanks for the video. Here's another syringe tip: They make needle-less plastic syringes with mm markings very inexpensive. They are liquid medicine droppers, very commonly found in pharmacies for those who cannot easily take liquid medicine by spoon. those may work for squeezing out eliquid without needles, and they don't have extra holes in them. I use them for measuring DIY eliquid components.
I would also recommend the Wilson's Glycerin used for cake decorating for those concerned about Humco Glycerin.

Where did you get yours? :) I just tried finding one at Wal-Mart recently and the pharmacist told me he had no idea how to get one. Is it cause I'm in Jersey?? =P

I didn't want to mention a specific store, but yes, the walmart pharmacy section was where I found them, I didn't have to ask the pharmacist, it was right out for sale in the open along with things like earplugs. I am guessing the pharmacist you spoke with was just a blithering idiot.
I don't see why it would be banned anywhere, there is no needle or way to screw one on, it's just a method of accurately measuring liquid medication for oral or topical use.
I am sorry I threw away the original packaging, but here is a picture of mine:

I did a google search on Oral Medication Syringe, and there are several manufacturers, but the one I bought is made by Apex. Here is an Amazon link to a 3-pack:
Amazon.com: Apex Oral Medication Syringe, Small, 1 syringe (Pack of 3): Health & Personal Care
But try some other pharmacies first. I lived in NJ for a few years, and it seemed less restrictive than IL is. Call places and ask first. Call multiple times at different hours so you are asking different people. Make sure you are very descriptive. You could say it is used for giving something like cold medicine to your elderly relative, and that it is also used to measure medicine for children.

This is just my opinion: Remember that any place you call, from a top-of-the-line engineering firm to a local pharmacy to a grocery store, the first person you get to talk to is often the person who is barely keeping their head above water and needs to be baby-stepped through anything. The competent people are usually busy doing the actual work. Be patient until you get to talk to one of them.

ya that is so true it only seems like 35 percent of the time you talk to ANYBODY at one of the big chains they are helpful.

only sometimes it is somebody who knows what they are talking about. I will probably check walmart again do you know what it was next to? baby stuff or bandaids

Anyone try/use NATURAL CHERRY concentrate?

I love LorAnn cherry, Chocolate, English Toffee and a combo of them, but I am not real fond of Artificial flavors in my body.

Also I was mixing a sample to lower the nic, and I added more PGA rather than PG (same style bottle type for pouring), and VG. It gave one hell of an inhale, and the feeling resembled REAL SMOKE in the drag, yet stronger. I cut it in half again (still too much nic) and this time only PG and VG, THIS WAS EXACTLY LIKE SMOKING AGAIN, but with flavor. This is what I was missing as of late, having a beer, and I wouldn't call this a throat hit, more of a Real-Smoke-Like-Throat-Hit.

Very useful!!! Thank you! I was however trying to ask Hyperdeficit where HE got his needle syringe from...since I asked before and he didn't get back to me!!! >< But I wasn't clear in my second questioning!! I went to Wally World and asked the pharmacist where I could get a 3ml syringe. (needle). Then I proceeded to fail. :(

Mr. Hyperdeficit. Please forgive if you've mentioned this in your vid and I missed it, but how did you get your needle syringe? I saw another video where a woman suggested getting a needle (from a pharmacy!), and I don't know how to go about getting one! :) Did I just miss it amongst these posts?

Although, after reading these other helpful posts, I might just get something plastic anyways...

If you know someone in the medical industry and they have access to caths (the kind some RN jabs in your arm) that may have damaged packaging they can't be used, you can use the plastic cath part that is normally in you arm to fill carts, after discarding the needle. 1 inch long and no metal point, perfect.

No worries!!!! :) I was more afraid that I missed something and didn't want to be a tool. Or a forum tool...a fool? :) But thanks for answering, I just HAD to know!!

I think I was one on a web site...maybe johnson's creek. Thanks so much guys! Great thread! ^_^
