I took a wire cutter to the ends... It was just a little awkward at the cash when I had to ask for them... o_O

Yeah, WalMart wouldn't sell me luer slip syringes (no needle by default) the pharmacist was incredibly short with me and had an attitude. I had to buy some ear wax removal kit that had a 10cc luer lock syringe. You bet your --- I purchased it at the pharmacy counter, and then told him... "See? That wasn't so hard now, was it?"

Just so you all know... Syringes for insulin, or anything else are considered an Over the Counter (OTC) item. You do not need a license, prescription, or a note from Mom to purchase them.

I had noticed long before I bought syringes for juice making that my vet had quite a few. I just walked in, grabbed a assortment of sizes, asked a couple questions about needle gauges and plopped them all on the counter. I then pulled out my provari with a kayfun and began to educate, they were so impressed that I quit smoking 2 years ago with vaping and I explained I was making juice and needed the syringes to measure and they didn't care. We've supported the vet for years with our animals so they knew who we were. I still have a bunch of syringes but use a scale now, the only thing I use syringes for is to extract the liquid out of my kayfuns and TFV4s when I clean them(I hate to waste even a drop of juice).
I just used a bench grinder to blunt the needles.

I'd have called a store manager, & followed up with a call to HQ.

Not even worth it. I work in a Pharmacy and they are like $2 for a box without insurance. He tried to tell me they weren't in his POS (point of sale) system and I gave up after that. Interesting that they have them (I was able to see them from the register) and apparently give them away for free... Just not to bearded 26 year olds who explain their intentions lol

I usually order my syringes on eBay, but I have bought them before at Walgreens, no questions asked. Well, actually, there were a few questions as to why I wanted 12 or 14 ga needles :) But I explained it to them, and there was never any issue about not selling them to me. My beard is pretty gray, BTW :)

I won't go near a Walmart pharmacy ever again , i never knew what pure evil was until that thing turned around after i politely asked if they had needles behind the counter , "holy cow" very very scary.

It really is a bit of an illness. My back spare bedroom no longer has a bed :yawn:

I had to repost it just to be able to like it 1000 times again.... ;) Love it @Capt.shay !!! @StirredStill As far as what to recommend other than what others have posted, if you know other vapers close by, ask them for their empty glass only 30 ml bottles for when the mixing really gets going. I have 2 friends that I use for mine. I keep about 15 bottles in personal rotation. The rest I use to give some close friends juice to try when I hit a good mix. I just wash, rinse and reuse. Saves a few bucks here and there. You could also make your own labels to stick on the side. Hope this helps.

I must have had a notion that DIY was in my future as I saved some of the glass bottles I received from a favorite vendor (Coval Vapes) and ended up with about 40 or so. I've cleaned and sterilized about a third so I've still got some in reserve. Those Texas boys sure mix a fine produce and sell it reasonably but I didn't think of it 'til this moment that those bottles cost me $600. Thought such as that make me more thankful than ever for DIY. Besides, making juice is 'way more fun that just buying it :)

A scale, a 99 cent plastic place mat, a plastic storage bin thing, a six foot folding table, a roll of paper towels, disposable pipettes, a lot of little empty bottles, and a lot of little full bottles.

No syringes, graduated mixing cylinders, beakers, or (I know, I know) gloves. I'm not very scientific.
