    I’m not sure what gauge the needles are that came with the syringes. I thought the ones on the 30 ml ones were supposed to be 14 but they don’t seem like it. I think I’ll try a pack of the ones sugar linked.

    I think you will be very pleased. They are stainless steel and will never wear out...

    eta....most blunt needles are color coded(or used to be)and the part that screws onto the syringe is plastic. Pink ones are 18 gauge(smaller opening than 14) and the 14 gauge is usually a green or an olive color. They work well but don't last forever.

    I put those in my cart to ponder:)
    These are 1" long and you or Hitt may want longer ones......I will look to see if any are available. 1" are good but if you want to be able to reach to the bottle of a liter bottle....won't happen. I am looking...brb
    lol

    I edited my last post to include a link to packs of 10 for $3.79 w/ Free S/H that the same seller has on eBay now. I've been using the same 6-8 of mine for more than 2 years now...and none have broken.
    It all depends on what you want.....I have and use both. I use the green 14 gauge to fill my tanks because I have the caps that have the luer locks on my 30 ml bottles. Easy peasy to fill any tank in about 3 seconds.

    Maybe I am just not as strong as I used to be. Don't know. Don't you find that there is a lot of pressure to pull and hold the plunger?

    No, not really. Actually, once I get it where I want it, there's really hardly any pull at all to hold it there, for me anyway.

    Ok I did find a set that are 5" long......wow....could be useful for reaching the bottom of a large bottle but for DIY vapers, we usually don't keep stuff in a 1 liter bottle for long(especially nic). Don't know, something else to think on. LOL

    OK, a question for you all that really like the WF Tahitian Vanilla Cream: What's so different about it, compared to most other vanilla flavorings, that makes it a favorite of yours? Does it provide a totally different taste than most? Or any hint of any other flavor, too?

    I have at least 9 or 10 other vanillas already, but...since I'm really liking the WF Hazelnuts & Cream, I'm now wondering about TV, too. Going to order more H&C for sure and maybe the TV while I'm at it. Debating on just the smallest size...or going for a 30mL to start with, like I did the H&C.

    It's pretty amazing... thick and rich with a bright vanilla taste. Fluffy mouthfeel, almost marshmallow-y. Definitely worth getting the 30 ml size if you generally like creams with fruits and bakery recipes. This is another flavor where people say they get a coconut vibe from it and I kinda felt that way when I first got it but I've used it without any added coconut and don't really get that anymore. I often add coconut when I use it though, coconut works very well with it.

    I thought I'd remembered reading something about a hint of some other flavor in it on here, but wasn't about to go looking through pages to find it. Since it's called Tahitian...it could be that maybe it does have a coconut hint to it...which would be great to me, as I like it. Thanks for the info! :thumbs:

    I found out (by watching American Vandal and the Turdburgler :lol::lol:) That horchata is NOT at all what I thought it was. At ALL. I wonder how it is going to go with mango and such. I'm almost afraid to taste it now.....

    I think I didn't read the flavoring description so it is kind of my bad, well entirely my bad I guess. I thought it was that weird red spice that gets mixed into fruit salads by Mexico that is actually like, spicy.

    I may not be able to salvage this one, unfortunately. I would run taste it but I'm snusing by choice now, my cough has gotten so bad. I'm going to have to go get that antibiotic tomorrow I think :(

    It was a very productive day and now the town is celebrating with fireworks LOL. (It's a Town Festival Day).
    Poor kitty is hiding under the bed.

    After doing a bunch of house cleaning/reorganizing, I asked the hubby to help me set up to do some mixing. I was running low on a few favorites and wanted to try new ones from the Labor Day sales. I did a few sft (VTA Ginger Root, Creme Caramel, WF Hazelnut & Cream), then an assortment of fruits, boozy, creamy, desserts etc. Unfortunately, I ran low on nic, I hadn't realized the bottle was mostly used. :facepalm: The good news is I have enough to keep me entertained until I get out of the darn boot, hopefully in 2-3 weeks. Some of the mixes should be snv, others I'll try when I can't wait to see what they're like. I usually test them as they age anyway, I'm not as patient as FranC to wait a full month or more.

    I'm happy to have a new stash to enjoy and will pull another bottle of nic out of the freezer for the next round. :thumbs:
