inner tubing for bottles?

[Shantia]

Hi everyone,
I've been seeing these bottles used in mods that have a tube inside that helps transfer the juice upwards so there is less need for tilting or tipping upside down. Now i've found some aquarium tubing that will fit on the outside over the nipple of the bottle, but it does not work inside. Can anyone point me in the right direction for that inner tubing?

Although I havent done any work with it yet, I'm thinking the tube from inside a cheap BIC cigarette lighter would work. Of course you would wanna clean it first.

I've seen some that use a small (perfume type) atomizer that can "pump" the liquid up to the atty. I ordered some from ebay but haven't completed a mod with them yet.

(See this thread (post #210) as the one I'm working on)

A BBQ lighter has the tubing you are thinking of, a bic only has a wick inside. Teflon Spaghetti Tubing in a 1/16" OD like this would be good for starting fresh. Plastic, Rubber & Synthetic Tube and other Tube at MSCDirect.com.

This tubing works great. I use a cut 16 gauge syringe needle to connect to it.

Those needles you use to pump up basketballs/footballs, etc. also fit. I'm trying to find out if they're stainless steel or not, but the needles are definitely safe.

Do you have any idea how that would compare to the ones madvapes sells?

I think we are talking about 2 different kind of lighters. A disposable Bic uses pressurized butane, so no wick, just a tube. However this thread has proved helpful for getting tubing, without destroying my lighters.

Looks like the ones Madvapes sells are plastic, the ones I ordered are glass.

They came from Accesories for Fragrances, on ebay here.

I use This pump (the top 10ml bottle) with a 1 inch piece of this tubing shoved in the outlet hole and epoxied to the bottle and this tubing which extends to my mouthpiece out of the box mod.

Trust me this works. One pump to the tottle bottle will produce 2 drops. For one drop you can reduce the bottle pump stroke with some jb weld or epoxy or just make a half pump stroke.

I've seen some debate regarding the use of aluminum and brass. I can't say that I know the facts though. The 16 gauge syringe needles are 6 for like $2 at Tractor Supply Company for injecting cows and are roughly 1/16". They are right out on the rack. So, no asking a pharmicist for them. If there's a TSC nearby, you can be on the safe side for cheap. That is as long as you don't consider the risk that you'll poke yourself with one of those needles (haven't yet) before you cut them unsafe. That point does look spooky though.

I have one of those and it is spooky, especially screwed on a 150ml syringe. Ouch.

I'd recommend 3ml OD 1 mm ID silicone RC fuel line...it's springy enough to seal liquid tight in a slightly undersized hole.

I have another hobby that involves something made for human consumption and one thing about that one is everyone involved always says get food grade or medical grade stuff for the materials that come in contact with the product. It's a little disconcerting how non-chalant people are about that on here.

Hobby Lobby has brass tubing that fits perfectly in an auto batt terminal and all the way into the atty i use it for all of my suck and syphon mods

 

[ancient puffer]

Well, the safe way to go is Tygon B-44-3 Beverage Tubing, 1/16" ID x 1/8" OD x 1/32" Wall Thickness and a 16ga syringe. Just me, but safer is always better, even if it has to ordered or costs more.

I don't see how much less safe platinum-cured silicone tubing could be simply for lacking a certification. It's non-shedding and totally inert for just about any purpose one would use it for.

ok I am gonna tear up my grill lighter to get the tube i did not think about that.

Why do you have to tip upside down? Bottom feeders push the juice up through the SS tubing.

This is the tubing I used for a Mr Puffer style mod:

This is the SS tubing I use for my bottom feeders. I prefer this much more than the top feeding style. You can probably find smaller pieces ...You will only need a cpl inches per mod.
