Yep, pretty hard to fill a syringe and fill that way.
But...then you have to rinse the syringe out and put it away....I know...I know... Have you ever tried the needle tip caps from HHV... in my experience from a couple of others I have they usually are kind of a pain. I do have some bottles with plastic needle tips that I keep for travel and they work pretty well. At home I just need to use the syringe and quit being silly....
Will do , I like the way the Neme looks been thinking about that one too ..
I save all my empty bottles - for DIY or splitting up large bottles into smaller ones for storage & faster aging - so I just use a bottle from another company that has a needle tip. I've got a couple of HHV's needle cap's coming in, but they just shipped today so we'll see about those. I've heard they're rather narrow, but as long as they're not something ridiculous like a 30g, I think they'll work fine.
Ms. April sent me some syringes a long time ago and they work great. They're 18ga and just a little on the slow side. But better than Adam's skinny little needle tips. Those are rough on the arthritis. I just ordered a couple syringes with 16ga needles from Wizard Labs. I know those will be even better. I don't clean every time I fill. Once a week I will.

Shop around for other crap you might want to cover the shipping. The syringes and needle tips are cheap. I get bottles and Lorann flavorings from them too. The flavorings are good if you have a meh juice and you want to give it some life.
It's a very nice mech. JW and Slim gave me the nod and I have been very pleased with it. I got the SS with brass accents. But to each their own there.
You can get them a heck of a lot cheaper on Amazon. I saw some 10mL ones for $0.17/ea. Latex-free & sterilized.
You would be correct. I was looking for a one stop shop for the bottles and syringe stuff and I knew WL's had it all and I was too lazy to look elsewhere for one-stop shopping. But for the more discerning (and less lazy) Amazon would probably be a better option.
You could get yourself the syringes, needles, bottles, a Jane Fonda workout video & most importantly an underwear dispenser, all without having to put on your pants.
Just to clarify. I used a stock photo since it would be easier to see than with my cylon windows. I fill up to the red line. Since the space between the inner chamber & the outside wall is pretty thin, it's not nearly as much air as one would think. But it's just enough.
Exactly, how I do it too.
Sometimes I leave just a bit more air too.
Looking good Chak.... This has been a long week already, feeling like crap, it's colder than anything and my KFLs are misbehaving. I seriously think the cold weather is part of the issue as in the morning all seems good at home, by the time I get to work they are acting wonky. This morning I meant to not fill my tank up all the way to see if it helped...but one too many squirts and it was to the rim
Thanks IG,
We've had a surprisingly long cool spell here that started way before Christmas till now. Longest it's been this cool this long in the 26 years we've been here. Hate it the years we get two, I mean exactly 48 hours of 75˚ weather then wham! back up to mid upper 80s and humid.
Well, gotta get a move on. See y'all on the flip-side.
Exactly, how I do it too.
Move that red line to about halfway down the window and you have my fill point.

Chicken! I go above that red line and I haven't had any problems.

That's because you're Canadian
Well I came home and took out the juice that was in there and basically put 95% of it right back in but with a syringe and it's behaving again... Had to think about it and this morning was probably one of the few if not only time I'd filled using my 30ml HHV bottle.
I've got tons of paper work to dig through tonight...wish I had more energy.

I beg to differ with you boss. You actually can seal up the hole, because the air can escape through the juice channels and out the chimney. I used to use the syringe to fill the lite and when I got the lite Plus I could .... the regular HHV type drip tip snug against there and filled with ease.
Note: That's where the 45˚ tilt and being able to still see the bubble comes into play. You fill much further and you'll pass those channels juice is going to fill up in the atty chamber flooding it, which might end up just syphoning back out the air hole.

I have another Cylon window for the Stealth (but the tanks full, I'll get to it tonight) & I need to Cerakote one of the KFL+'s black.
Are we talking original cylon or most recent? Love my some BSG.
Got me a ft nemi the other day. Did a little magic and then brushed and baked. Favorite cheap mod right now. Performs fantastically and honestly will push me to get a real deal next.
^^ is my custom titan and kayfun that OCD Mods did for me. Haven't received it yet but I imagine its even nicer in person.

You would be correct. However, I soak my wicks before assembling the KFL and then stuff my wicks down the side. I'm sure I am impeding the air flow enough that if I fill with an HHV bottle too quickly it will backflow. That's why I use a needle tip.
