    I never used glass, all my cylinders are plastic. Partly because they were cheaper and partly because they wouldn't break if you knock them over. It takes a long time for the thick liquid to pour out of a cylinder, it sticks to the sides. If I need 90mls of base for a mix I just put 92mls in the cylinder and hope it balances out. Using the 10ml for flavorings isn't too bad because it is mostly PG and runs faster. Always wondered if the liquid would pour more easily from glass.

    I don't use funnels anymore because of how slowly the liquid ran through them. With the plastic funnels the tip part was tapered, you could cut off most of the tip and they would run a little faster.
    The glass ones I use as thick, and do NOT break easily. Like @Tor, they are easier to keep clean. Forget those little funnels. Especially with VG and the slowness.
    I don't care for the "dropper" on the glass, though. Too thick for some tanks. Makes a mess.

    I don’t use any cylinders or funnels. I do have some small funnels but I didn’t buy them. They came with something else of which I don’t remember.

    Sooooo what’s everyone up to this afternoon?
    Just normal work stuff. I spent my lunch time finishing up the online class I was taking to get my education hours for my CWI renewal. Now I will just need to get an eye exam and a passport picture taken to turn in with my renewal application. You can only turn them in up to six months early so I'll have to wait until early next year to submit it. I just wanted to get the class out of the way so I don't have to worry about it last minute.

    Just finished mowing again. In the spring and early summer I have to mow every 3-4 days or it’s really unmanageable. It’s supposed to storm overnight so it was a good time to do it.

    I need to do a little mixing tonight. Just remixing a couple regulars.

    They haven’t needed to mow here yet. It probably won’t be long.

    I would think since you’re getting a little warmer there. I put down weed and feed after I mowed. The nice thing about getting rain regularly is I haven’t had to turn on the sprinkler system yet.

    Good morning random folks. I'm 5 cups of coffee ahead of you (3 decaf and 2 regular) and about to start my 6th. I napped so much yesterday that I only got a few hours of sleep last night. Hence the decaf coffee, in the hopes I would go back to sleep, but that was a no go. My podiatrist prescribed a night splint for my foot. Last night I attempted to wear it but only lasted 30 minutes because of the pain. I have PT today. It's currently 69 with a high of 76. We got up to 82 yesterday. It's supposed to rain this weekend. I just LOVE delivering packages in the rain.
