Eureka!!! a needle that works for vg - available where fine (and not so fine) cookware is sold

Hello everyone
I am a newb to DIY (and vaping in general) so I don't know if this is common knowledge or not?

I was trying to find a big enough needle to work with vg, tried a 14 gauge, didn't work, too small, wouldn't suck up the vg

went out shopping, stopped at the dollar store, looking in their kitchen supplies for small containers to keep misc stuff in.

Saw a "flavor injector" syringe and needle (you know, the kind for injecting marinade into your turkey, chicken roast, etc)

it has a large bore needle (big enough for the 14 gauge needle to slide in rattle around kind, sorta), and a luer lock end

now it does have 2 side holes down near the end which I resolved with my trusty dremel and cutoff wheel and it works like a charm (used compressed air (computer) to blow out the needle, rinsed well, wasted some vg testing it but it is as extra cost I am willing to spend - will just have to round up my cost per ml by a few 1/100s of a cent)

Anyway I just thought I would share

Thanks

This is a great tip! Thanks for sharing! I'll hit the local Dollar Store when I'm out later today. I use a 14 ga needle for VG, but it is a slow, difficult process.
