I like to use a 3ml syringe. No single carto will take all of that, but you can always put excess back into the bottle. It's handy for mixing measured amounts of different juice, too.
Gribeau what size gauge do you use? because the 29 gauge takes forever in it lol.
Oh and when you refill it, what side does the syringe go in? The battery side or the mouth side?
I have found that a 3ML 18 GA is the best...20 and 22 are to narrow. I have no trouble with 18.
Thank you guys so much. I'm going to call walgreens and see if they have that. I have a 29 and it takes forever.
Now the only question I have is what side does the syringe go in? The batt or mouth side.
Egads. You got a 29 to work? I don't have that much patience when filling.
I use 18g needles from the mouth after popping out the cap. Slide the point down along the side of the barrel to minimize disturbance to the wadding.

I use either 3ml or 6ml, depending on how many I'm filling. 18 GA needles have been perfect so far.
I usually pop the top and go in from the mouth end. Insert the needle between the batting and the inside wall of the carto, and slowly pull the needle out while filling. If it starts to flood, just back out the plunger a bit until it's perfect.

Yeah I dont have the pacients for that either, Im just using the condom refill but I can only find a 60 cc with an 18 gauge, I'm going to go check it out once Im done cleaning my cartos.
I ordered mine online after reading this:

Got 6 3ml syringes, 6 6ml, and 12 18 GA needles for around 28 cents, including free FedEx shipping.

I don't think that a 6ml syringe would be hard to deal with, that's probably the next size up from a 3. Why are you tying the syringe selection to the needle, though? You can buy them separately without any problem. A local farm (or veterinary) supply place should carry them, you can also find lots of sources on google.
For the record, I like my 1 1/2" needles. Get much shorter than that and you'll have trouble reaching the bottom of your carto.

I use 1 1/2' 22g needles with 3ml syringes ($.25@ publix pharmacy) I also have a 10ml that I use if I'm bulk filling. I also fill from the mouth end after pulling the cap (directly into the batting) then finish it off with a Taryn spin, rinse, repeat (don't actually rinse)
I find that 27g is incredibly difficult to depress and 17g is really hard to control. 22g is a good compromise.

I've been wanting to get a real syringe forever to refill my carts. Where can one buy one at. Online? At a store?
Thanks for any info!

$.25 at Publix?! That's awesome. I just checked Amazon and they want over $11.00 for one. Sounds like rip off central to me. Will a pharmacy really sell me a syringe? Never even gave it a thought.
My syringe needles are color coded. The grey ones are too narrow, the blue are too large, the yellow are just right.

That's great Leaford! Bet that helps out and I'll take note on that...But where do you get them?!
Starting to feel like an idiot here. Thinking I should go check under a local bridge and boil a dirty one...LOL.....Just kidding. I would never do that.
Unless it was necessary.
