Glass syringes
I remember plastic syringes with raised letters and marks on them, you could just touch them up with with black felt marker, maybe could find them in a third world country where people do not throw everything away.

Glass syringes

yeah thanks for the tip as I had already thought about doing something like that -- but my problem is I am too lazy and when my ADD is kicked into high gear why I just reach for a new syringe --- I probably should spend a little time and fix up my syringes though
put scotch tape or clear nail polish over the markings on the syringes.you da man Lord Cromwell --- I never seen one of those before -- I might have to try that ----- I have been using 1ml, 5ml, and 10ml syringes with hollow needles on the ends for all fluids that I mix ---- The only problems with that is that I have to purchase those miserable syringes in mass quantities from Amazon ---- the stupid marking on those syringes rubs off easily and then I have to throw them away and get a fresh one out -- I go through quite a few syringes. Plus I have to use one syringe for each ejuice component so that I don't cross contaminate stuff. I probably should be using beakers and just use syringes for my nicotine and flavors, but you know me Cromwell, I do everything the hard way
Slow down and enjoy the vape.I know that but I am too lazy and in too big of a hurry all the time

More nic = less lazy
I just so happened to be varathaning some maple bull nosing. I put a couple coats of the varathane onto a couple of my 1ml syringes since the numbers wear off so fast, its now 6 months passed, that 1ml syringe gets used all the time and the lettering is still clear and sharp and the 2nd one is still in my drawer waiting for the first one to wear out in which it hasn't as of yet.
I pop the plunger out and fill from the top also, its much easier than trying to draw base up the syringe, also having a few 60ml syringes make larger portions easier without having to double dip into my bases. I wasn't sure about nail polish since you can flake it off your nails so IMO there would be a good chance of you vaping nail polish flakes without knowing it. Clear tape I think would be a complete waste of time cause the tape would come off easily along with the numbers also.

Good tip for sure --- I think they purposely make them that way in order to get repeat sales --- they could easily make it so that the markings don't come off
Yeah drawing up the syringe can get tough at times, especially with that thick VG.
The tape has been working for me for several months now.
yeah that's how I fix stuff -- I got everything else all taped together, might as well tape my syringes too
For some reason I don't seem to keep any clear nail polish around. I prefer the bright red and it blocks out the lettering on the syringe.
Cover the markings with tape or clear nailpolish. Keep a glass of water nearby & just swish the syringe in the water to rinse off excess liquid clinging to the outside, & suck up some water & squirt it back into the glass. Wipe it off d clear any remaining water into a paper towel of tissue. Nothing will be left that will matter.you da man Lord Cromwell --- I never seen one of those before -- I might have to try that ----- I have been using 1ml, 5ml, and 10ml syringes with hollow needles on the ends for all fluids that I mix ---- The only problems with that is that I have to purchase those miserable syringes in mass quantities from Amazon ---- the stupid marking on those syringes rubs off easily and then I have to throw them away and get a fresh one out -- I go through quite a few syringes.

That is how I do it. I use warm tapwater and squirt into another container though.
I haven't used the syringe except when a flavorin was running out & I used it to keep from having to stick the syringe way down into the bottle. I take the needle off & stick just the end of the syringe into the liquid to draw up. The hole is bigger.Good tip for sure --- I think they purposely make them that way in order to get repeat sales --- they could easily make it so that the markings don't come off

Being where I live, there are a lot of minerals in the water and the kitchen sink can't be on the water filtration system. I just see it as a consideration.
It serves many purposes. Its a multi tasker.
Vodka or Everclear would work. When finished you would have some juice flavored vodka!
