Don't know about buying syringes at the pharmacy. Many states have a prescription only law for syringes.
I did purchase a "filling tool" from ivape.com. it is a syringe with no needle. It came with little "needle like tips" that are plastic. While the little tube is delicate and can bend easily into an impossible fold, they work just fine.
I use vg only so I know what you mean about the difficulty of getting vg into a syringe. If you have this style syringe, take the tip off, suck up the vg with no tip on, then apply tip, push it onto the syringe tightly, then SLOWLY* inject the liquid into the cartomizer. It should work with no issues. Does for me. Just as I said be careful with the tip it will bend in half which makes it difficult to load with.(not impossible just difficult!)
*key word there!! if you push too hard or fast the tip will pop off and you will have liquid everywhere but where you want it!!!

Not sure with VG, but 18 gauge works with the normal juice.
The easiest way I've found them locally was at farm and ranch stores. Tractor supply, Attwoods, Orschelin's etc., they don't ask questions and have the larger needles and syringes than what you find in the pharmaceutical supply places.

I used an 18-gauge syringe last night, and it was barely doable. Need something a little larger.
Fam,
I tried over 20 different formulations, and the thickness is worth it, cause these are the very first VG only cartomizers I LOVE. Get thick syringes, if you need VG. It is worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will keep on trying to make same flavors with thinner juice. Y'all know, I am on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Appreciate all, Steve. Any chance V4L will offer VG syringes one day, or could you suggest a reputable supplier?
Try a 16 gauge, but 18 gauge will work if you give it time to suck up into the syringe, at least it has for me. It is a pain tho. I don't care for 100% VG so it's all good for me, but g'luck finding a better way. I think I've seen 15 gauge sharp LOK needles too.
MAke sure the thick juice stays flowing though, cos this stuff lasts longer in a carto. really loving it a lot.
I have an 18 gauge blunt tip sitting here that looks like it would do the trick. Haven't tried it yet though.
ps. You can get these things online thru many places with no problem. Just google syringe and follow the links!
