How to get liquids out of 16oz bottles?

[bosco500]

We are mixing large amounts and have most of our flavors in 16 oz Amber bottles. In smaller bottles it's easy to measure out using a syringe and 3" blunt tip needle. We now have 60cc syringes we are using, still using the blunt tips, but once the 16 oz bottle gets half full it's difficult to get the flavor out without holding it at an angle between my legs so the needle can reach the liquid.

This is doable but I would like something more efficient and less of a spill risk. Any ideas? I can't find any blunt tips longer than 3". We have tried pouring the flavor into solo cups to extract but this is a poor solution.

I have read you can use a euro dropper and stick the blunt tip in without spillage, but I can't find any of these for 16 oz bottles, only small ones (1 oz or 1/2 oz)

Thanks for any help!

Pour your flavor in smaller bottles that work with the syringes you have?

and how to transfer it to smaller bottles?


There has to be extended blunt needle tips out there somewhere. The really large pipettes might reach easier, but you'd have a hell of time going back and forth, I don't think they hold that much.

Keep the smaller bottles as your working supply; refill them from the bigger bottles.

I do that all the time with household stuff such as cleaners, ketsup, soap, cooking oil etc; I'd buy the big container, but if I don't already have a small container, I'd buy a small bottle too, just for the convenience of the bottle plus it has the right label on it already. Use the small bottle, then when its empty, fill it from the big bottle.

Once large bottle of good stuff is almost empty I rinse w/ PG and vape it.

Sometimes I put two layers crossed of blue painters tape with a rubber band over the top, stick the needle on the side, and tip it over a bit. No spills thus far.

Thanks guys I think the infusion tubes should work perfect!

If your measuring such large quantities lets say 10ml and higher you should be using measuring cylinders and beakers and not syringes.

Graduated Cylinders, and Test Tubes

For measuring smaller quantities under 10ml's you should be transfering to smaller bottles or beakers and using syringes.

A funnel? Did I miss that being used. Kinda simplified, but, if just transferring from a big bottle to a small bottle...

Too easy. Try for something that needs Inspector Gadget arms in order to succeed =)

Why did I look up what these are originally used for. Should I ask how the thought of this entered your brain?

I use one of these for the larger bottles, you put the white "stopper" in the bottle, put syringer into "stopper" invert bottle and draw out what you need you can get them in the medicine section at pharmacy(or maybe baby section too)

Not quite sure since I am a city boy. I was shopping for mods earlier today. First google I didn't put livestock.
