Ive tried syringes with and without a needle 27g. It seems that there is a trick to it but i just cant get the fluids into the syringe.

With this, ive thought that i might be better off using graduated cylinders. Apart from getting them off the net with very very slow delivery, anyone knows where one can get off the shelf?

And what is a graduated cylinder?

get to 1:58, it comes in diff measurements. I just find this method to be somewhat easier than the syringe method(also cos i have no idea how to use a syringe)

Just add your liquids in the right quantity, dump it into your favourite easydrip bottle and shake. :)

for syringe when you open it brand new, u need to pull the plunger to the ML that u want, put it into the liquid, then squeeze the plunger down, then pull back again to the level u want. thats to create the vacuum to suck any liquid. the bottle of liquid preferably has to be upside down

Bro. This one applicable only to medical vials lah. The one with the membrane on top.

The solution is simple. Just get a lower gauge needle. Get the blunt tip one. I think they come in 22-20 gauge. Just buy online or pm me if you want. The syringe also cannot be too small. Use at least 10mls.

Or just measure by weight as stated above.

Take a trip to walmart or target and look around the baking/cooking section. plenty of graduated containers and huge flavor injectors. Pick up a digital cooking scale if you opt for weight mixing. But these are mainly for mixing large batches of PG/VG base. Mixing with flavor/nic needs more accurate tools like syringes. Mixing by parts is fastest like 1 cup VG and 1 cup PG is 2cups 50/50 pg/vg but not as accurate as mixing by weight.

But then, I'm guessing your problem is from high VG bases being too viscous. Try warming your liquid first before you draw it in to the syringe.

I use one of these for PG and VG. Holds 10 ml works great just stick the Korc in the opening of a bottle of PG/VG. open the flapper thing insert the syringe invert bottle and suck full. I leave the syringe stuck in a bottle all the time. It is well sealed. I got them for 1.49 ea at a Krogers pharmacy. You can get larger ones 30ml designed for feeding.

I use 1 ml and 3 ml syringes for flavoring and nicotine.
