My favorite one is carried by Walgreens.com. Search for "oral medicine syringe". It is 10ml marked in 0.2ml increments, has a stopper thingy that a 510 atty will fit into and fits most bottles, plus has a tapered brush for cleaning. It says 2 TSP, but is also marked in ml for our use.

It will not fit luer lock needles though. The snout is oversized for the stopper. I have heard of folks cutting plastic pipettes down to use the thin part of the pipette on the end of these syringes though.

Cannot help on the rest. I buy 1ml syringes in huge bags off ebay and get needles from the livestock store and blunt the needles myself. (Well I bought 1 huge bag and use the brush from one of my Walgreens syringes to clean them out for multiple uses, so I still have a crap-load of them.). Someone gave me a syringe and blunt needle that came from a printer cartridge refill kit that is 5ml that I use occationally.

And you don't own tools? Whuut? Even my girlfriend has a nice toolbox.

Sorry, I cannot fathom not owning tools. Baffles a poor old Hoosier like me. Heck, we brag about our tools. Have tool contests. "Who has an oxygen sensor socket in half?". Aw, shucks, I only have one in three eigths, but I have a 48" all cast iron pipe wrench beat that!

<I know, we're weird, but we like it that way.>

Nope, the syringe & stopper thingy only fit each other. The brush that comes with the Walgreens one will fit any syringe I've put it in so far.

(I have 4 of the Walgreen ones and 3 from other places. They all seem to be made by the same company, but are packaged differently and only Walgreens has the brush.)

I used to fix stuff for a living, my grandfather and an uncle are master carpenters, and since I spent more time with my grandfather than my own father, tool use was expected. I can never match that old man with wood, but he could never match me with machinery.

Ive searched the walgreens site now, and i cant seem to find any blunt tip needles, and paying a 5.49$ shipping for a 2.39 $ item is a hard thing for me to do :)

Ive been walking around for hours today searching for this thing in anything from a pet store (theyre apparently also used to clean dog ears) to a inkshop.. no luck :S

i did get flavourart to change my order tho, so i will be waiting with purchasing that awesomme nicotine offer mentioned earlier in this thread.

so far im just looking forward to vaping something else then my 1,5 year old RY4 :D

I also forgot to mention the fact that my eGo-T has been running smoothly and the only "leak" i can find is the condensation of the juice on the inside of the atty. Very nice product so far :D
