New to DIY

[bweave09]

Hey guys. I've been vaping for a little over a year and after buying my first mod and rda (and lots of reading on this site) I decided it was time to start making my own e liquid. I have been reading on here a lot and ordered a bunch of stuff from Wizard Labs. I just realized that though I got plenty of blunt tip syringes, I forgot to add needles to my order. I have 2 questions. First, is it possible to DIY without needles? If not, where can I buy needles locally? I'm hoping the supplies from WL will be here Friday and I would like to have everything I need to get started this weekend.
Thank you!

I only use blunt tip syringes.i bought some needle Syringes from a local pharmacy but found they were too thin to suck up the juice.

Welcome!
You can mix without the needles, but having them makes it easier and less messy. Be careful with the nicotine liquid. It can burn you among other things. I always wear gloves. I measure all the nic first, put the bottle away, ditch the gloves and then measure everything else. BTW, get the largest needles you can find. I use 14 gauge because I haven't found anything bigger. Have fun!

If you got your PG/VG from wizzard your syringes will fit through the top to draw from but if you bought TFA flavoring they will be in bottles with no drop tip, so you will need to find at least a dropper to manage the flavoring.

Hesitate to suggest a solution I have not tried, so proceed with caution. If I wanted to find a large needle locally I would go to a farm and ranch supply and ask for something that would be used on a horse or cow. If you are not concerned with it being sterile, look where printer ink refills are sold. Bonus is they are not sharp like real needles.

I have some droppers but was planning on measuring flavors with a smaller blunt tip syringe. Will a 1ml or 3ml syringe fit in the TFA bottles?

Thanks for all the help. The quick responses are awesome!

It's not that tough. Blunt needles are readily available on eBay. Also blunt "tips" which are a plastic needle designed for one use and dispose.

You never know I have had wizard labs throw in a syringe and needle for free when I bought others. Not always but often enough. You might get lucky

For vg/pg/nic you can buy a good cook flavor injector from the store. It is about $3. You cut the end off with a dremel or file and you have a 12 gauge blunt tip that works great on all my slip lock and luer lock syringes.

Thanks again for all the help, everybody. I placed my order with WL on Sunday and it still hasn't shipped. I'm going crazy! Saw the website says to allow 2-3 days minimum for orders containing nicotine. It is killing me!
