Steel needle dripper bottle, anyone seen one?

[a2dcovert]

The only drawback to the cart plug mods is refilling the carts. You either have to have tweezers with you or get juice on your hands by trying to remove the plug that is saturated with juice. I know what I want but I haven't found one. I used to do a lot of pistol shooting and had a very good lubricant in a plastic bottle that had a steel needle on it to drip oil into tight places. What I would like is to find one of these bottles to use to refill the carts. The needle doesn't need to be sharp, blunt would be OK. You can slip the steel needle between the cart and the plug and fill the cart from the bottom reservoir.

Has anyone seen such a bottle?

Yes I have!

Go to your local hardware store and look in the automotive or lubricant aisle. If I'm not mistaken, SuperLube uses a bottle/needle that is very similar to what you are describing.

Probably going to go get one myself. Clean out the oil (well) and fill it with the daily vape.

I have bought these, they are a little expensive, but good quality (rubber o-ring washer inside to prevent leaks).

I want to say that Elendil linked them once upon a time.

Hey, thanks guys that was fast. I'll be able to do exactly what I wanted. I hope the needle hole is big enough to fill the cart .

Scottbee, I wonder what kind of cleaning it would take to be sure you get all the oil out of the bottle?

I seen these at Hobby Lobby too. I'm pretty sure they were in the art department near painting supplies. I almost bought some but I prefer something more portable and compact, so these didn't really fit my need. They would be good to use at home though.

Now, that's good news. I'll go there tomorrow and see if they have them.

Thanks,

Thanks to all for the info. I think that others besides myself will be able to use this info.

Those "needles" are really really fine. You might get PG to squeeze through, but I'd bet that VG wouldn't.

Edit: Actually, one of the needles, the largest, might be OK.

Great idea Kevin!

This was online & probably what you'll find at Hobby Lobby:

A-West Stainless Needle-Point Applicator Bottle

It's meant to work with paints (this site lets you order a specific needle diameter), so it should work with thicker liquids, as well. I like that it has a built-in needle and the cap looks like it covers the needle, so you don't have to take it out all of the time for storage!

This one is a 1 ounce bottle, so not too big!

These are great, they also have 30ml sizes as well.
NOTE: I also use VG, the needle is 17 guage, is a little slow but works just great. 15-16 guage would be better, but these get the job done very cleanly with no problem with over-filling.

 

[a2dcovert]

That sounds like the cats meow. Hope to find something like 30ml or 15 with a needle large enough to use with VG. No more popping out the BP to refill the cart.

[tinear]

from an old post but, yes, they do work with VG....

has anyone thought of taking a needle and poking a hole through the blue foam in advance? it might make refilling easier. you wouldn't have to poke all the way through, maybe just almost all the way through, and put the hole end towards the mouth piece so liquid doesn't leak onto the atty.
just a thought

The site that kristin found is pretty good for price and such.

FWIW, I've a 17 gauge needle, works well with PG but the thicker VG liquids, not so good.
The dimensions given for the Flow 35 on the site that kristin found equate to 16 gauge. The next largest listed, Flow 17 is a 18 gauge.

Thanks for the tip! (Heehee - bad pun) Seriously, I had no idea what those dimensions meant - good to know!

Thanks for sharing. That is just what I was talking about. The power or the forum speaks again.
