Pipette Pump, anyone using them?

Cool..I am going there today...Not sure what I need to fill small bottles tho...

Personally I think the syringes available from Tractor Supply do the job, they go up over 60ml and cost 1-3 dollars each. My reasoning is that while pipettes and a pump are mandatory to titrate acurately, a syringe for the volumes that you are talking are perfect.

My tastebuds won't detect the difference between .01% concentration of flavor or nic.

But LowThudd already invested in the pump and needed matching pipette for them and face it: the ease of use, the repeatable acuracy, and the coolness factor is right up there with perforated toilet paper and and sliced bread.

Definitely nice to have if you do more than tinker.

One of the main selling points is also the one handed use capability of the P-Pump. I can't do a syringe one handed, which is why I was initially looking for a large aspirating syringe. No luck there, only 2ml>

Yup that's the "ease of use" part.

I can personally asperate a syringe one handed, but a larger one would be impossible period.

When you use the pump does it go in small increments or can you adjust it to pull 1ml at a time? Just wondering how long it would take to measure out 2ml or 30ml compared to a syringe.

There is a "thumb wheel" that you roll upwards to fill the pipette. Just roll it up farely quick for a course fill and slow when you are close. Nice fine adjustments if it is needed.

Also it depends on the size pump that you get, obviously the larger model aspirates at a greater rate per thumb wheel turn.

Seems perfect for our needs. up to 25ml, thumb wheel fluid draw, one touch release lever. This is the best price I have found. Pipette Pump for Pipettes up to 25 ml, Red for sale. Buy from the Science Company

Was looking for a large aspirating syringe, but I like this better.

Hehe, I can just drive up there and shop 'til I drop! Haven't done it yet, but I'm not much for DIY ... at least not yet. But I love having cool gadgets. I'm afraid I'd walk out of there much poorer than I planned for.
