I need to know something please :) Is the Luer Lock syringes the same as the Ideal or they one of the same???? Which 20ml from what company or where to purchase, has the plunger that slightly overlaps the top of the tube???? Because I ordered the ones from American Health Express and the plunger goes in all the way, instead of stopping after you push it in, hmmmmm :)
Thanks a million,
Hugs,

IDEAL is the brand name. Novagen IDEAL syringes. Luer lock or luer slip are two different ways that the needle can be attacked (lol) attached. Luer lock means the needle screws on securely. Luer slip means the needle just slips on. Either is fine for the tanks as we are not using that part of the syringe. I know you can get the correct type here:

Syringe 20cc Without Needle (Ideal) 50/Box Luer Slip at PetsTruly.com

and here:

The last one seems to be the best price going.

The second one looks like they have 3 ridges. You want the ones that have 2 ridges I think. The 2 ridge ones are the ones I use.

2 or 3- either is okay. Unless there's something specific Skeeter is trying to do that I missed? I think many people have ordered the 2nd one (animal health express) and they've been working fine (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I ordered a box of the first one that I posted (petstruly), and it has 3 ridges and works perfectly. LOL! Seems like what we get doesn't always match the pictures.

I ordered 30 of 'em and they work as advertized!

True. Also, TSC will have different configs, all of which are good to go.

The ones I use are the same as the ones used in the video in the first post. I first bought the 3 ridge ones and I did not like them.

I posted this before, but I'll just do it again. Here's a 3 ridge IDEAL syringe that I used. IIRC, you had gotten some 3 ridge ones that were not as thick and more flimsy? I can't remember where you said you got them. TSC maybe?

That is a very nice picture and tank. It looks like your cartomizer is one with the black wrapper on it, do you use it that way all the time or do you take the wrapper off?? What type of carto do you use?

It's not paper, it's painted. Powder coated or something. Very durable. I tried to clean one with goof off and only a little bit of the paint came off. I was going to order some unpainted ones, but these are working fine so I'm just sticking with them.

Oh, and it's a go-go cartomizer.
Thanks for the information.

Just wondering what procedure you all use to change a carto, or take one out if you find you need to enlarge the hole, especially if the tank still has liquid in it. I'm thinking it would be easier to take an end cap off and pour out the juice and clean everything up, but maybe you do something easier.

I'm having trouble with a 1.7ohm Resurrector (not wicking) and I've emptied the tank (and refilled 3 times now) using a syringe and it works very well. After it's empty I get a paper towel and push the parts out onto it and it's not been too messy at all.

Anyone else have trouble with carto fillers not wicking?

Okay, I had hubby go get some O-rings to put on the black stoppers, so that the stoppers WILL sit on the syringe tube :) It DID work for us :) That is what we wanted, is for the stopper to sit on top of the syringe :) Also we used a condom from the carto and we found a plug that they put in refrigerators, to plug the holes :) It kinda looks like a thumb tac with a stem on it, that is perfect fit in the condom :)
