PVC tubing Rec'd for syringe tank mod?

[j4mmin42]

I've noticed that many of the tutorials recommend using PVC for the tank itself...any chemically-inclined people out there to weigh in on the safety of this? I really want to try my hand at making one of these, but this is my biggest hang-up...

If there is a problem with it, what can be substituted in place of the PVC? prehaps fastening the plunger seals to the walls of a piece of the syringe somehow?

take into account the type of juice you will be using as some will disolve poylcarbonate. Polypropaline is good. There is no problems with using a syringe as they are used in the medical feild & are safe. o-rings can be bought for a dollar. Just mesaure for size required.

Awesome, thanks for the advice and the links- I'm going to try my hand at making one soon! I think I'll use a section of a syringe as the tank piece and buy some o-rings.

j4:

I just did a 10ml "tank" around the remains of a CE6 - using B-D 10ml only. Being ambitious and ever-hopeful, I made it hugely tall and learned to my chagrin that ejuice ain't viscous enough... Until it drained sufficient fluid back up the standpipe and down the pos-pole tube. *sigh*

I think I need to splice in a pos-pole extension as well, so that may be today's "honey-do" project.

I'd sure like a decent source for pipe/tube the apropos diameter (ID) for the Vivi Nova and Vivi Tank.. I swear those parts look so useful.
