Easy mess free nicotine dispensing

[grantemsley]

I found a nice way to dispense my nicotine liquid without much risk of spills or leaking. Hadn't seen anyone else suggest it, so I thought I'd share.

Parts needed:
- Any bottle with a dropper tip. I'm using a 30ml one that I got when I bought some plain PG.
- Drill
- IV extension cable (trying to find the exact name of this thing)
- Tape


Cut the IV tubing in half. Keep the male end (that can screw into a syringe). Discard the other end.
Use a drill to make the tip of the dropper large enough to fit the tube.
Shove the tube through the dropper and down to the bottom of the bottle.
Wrap liberally in tape, making sure it covers the tube, dropper AND the bottle itself. So if it falls, it won't leak.

I got the IV tubing when my father needed an in home IV after surgery. They left a bunch of supplies with us. Don't know if pharmacies sell them. Maybe you can ask your doctor for one.

In any case, it works beautifully. I just twist my syringe onto it and suck up whatever amount of liquid I need, then untwist and put the cap back on. Haven't spilt a single drop.

This is what the tube looks like:


And this is what I made:

I found an easy way also, I have a lot of priority mail boxes laying around. I took one and cut holes in it just big enough to fit my bottles in. I don't have to worry about knocking my bottles over.

I use one of those stopper things with the hole in it for a blunt tip syrings (without needle).
I stick the stopper in the top of my nic bottle, then syringe, flip upside down, pull plunger back to measurement I need, flip back over, done. Takes maybe 2 seconds, and no juice on my hands!
I got the stoppers in a set on ebay, and use them for pg, vg, nic, ethyl maltol, basically anything for mixing...

I like that idea - will use that. I am afraid my dogs will get into something. I am planning on mixing (when my stuff arrives this week) in the basement.

the IV tubing is called (drumroll please) IV extension tubing and comes in either an 11" or 14" length. I don't think that they sell them at pharmacies, my patients usually get them from a medical supply vendor. Hmm, makes me think... maybe I should go look thru my stuff to see what I can frankenstein. You could also glue that tube into the top part of the bottle, that way it wouldn't leak at all, and you could easily take the dripper part off, clean it and put it on a new bottle. I have a syringe that I use when needed, since I work with the things all day in much riskier situations than with sticky juice, I have no worries

That sounds like the way to go!

Can you give me a link or tell me where to look for one of those stopper things?

The stopper thingys are sold at most stores that have a pharmacy. Walmart has them in the infant/disabled accessories section. (With pill reminder boxes, etc)

I prefer the ones Walgreen sells because it comes with a cleaning brush. It is for infant liquid oral medicine despensing and is in that section in Walgreens.
