Luer lock squeeze bottles.

Been doing some research trying to come up with a less suspicious looking, and more convenient method for filling clearos and I came across these luer lock squeeze bottles, but most of the suppliers I found were either industrial supply, overpriced hena tattoo places or overseas (I'm american)

Has anyone else come across these things, and if so, have you found a good supplier?

found something at Hobby Lobby that works like a charm. "Fine CA applicator tips" are these little plastic cones that will fit over the all of the dripper tips of bottles I've tested (3ml -15ml) they taper to about a 20ga needle. Just press one on the end of your current juice bottle and fill your clearos, no fuss.

sometimes non chain pet stores and old electronics stores will sell blunt tip needles too. i use the luer locks from madvapes, but those are a pretty good find too.

Plastic bottles with a luer-lok are very common in chemistry, specially for biological and electronic applications. If you check on line sites like this one Squeeze Bottles from Howard Electronics   Low density squeeze bottles, you will find plenty of options. I also use henna and a lot of merchants sell these bottles to make temporary tattoos (Henna Caravan Applicators for henna, jacquard bottles and cones)

If you poke around, you should be able to find exactly what you need.

Wow, that's cool!

I have quick a bit of experience with needles. I'm on my third cat who's had renal failure. That means daily needle sticks to supply him with fluids as he can't drink enough to flush his failing kidneys. I always insist that my lines be luer lock, because luer slip connections do exactly that: slip. Having a needle come loose from the hub once resulted in atropine squirting into my eye. The surgeon was not amused, someone else had to take over for me while I waited for the effects to subside.

juice is thick, that means pressure inside the bottle needs to be higher in order to move the liquid through the needle. Luer lock bottles are a great idea, and anyone using a needle to fill should probably use them. You can get single use luer lock syringes pretty easily too, but the rubber plunger starts to stick in them pretty quickly and they become useless. Bottles would last a lot longer.
