The tid-bit in the tip....?

[1LastShot]

I know I may very well be slightly OCD on this point, but we just got our stuff to make our first batch of juice (squee!!) and we are using syringes..and I noticed that there is what seems to be a decent amount that gets caught in the end of the syringe after squirting out the juice/flavoring.... Is this a problem? Does anyone do anything to counter this issue? Is it even an issue? Should I just forget about that little bit and breathe? (Twitch, twitch) Lol

Are you talking about the juice in the tip that's left after you plunge the flavoring into your bottle?

That'd be it

I just plunge the amount into the bottle. Then I put the rest back into whatever flavor bottle it came out of. Sometimes, honestly, I'm lazy and just plunge whatever is left into the mixture... But if you want to be precise, I don't believe the amount left in the needle after plunging the first time counts into the total amount.

I think that's 'bout 132,964th concern on my list.

I wouldn't worry too much about it considering the cost savings of DIY. I keep a cup of warm water around for flushing out the syringe a few times and re-use for my next flavor. I have a bunch of syringes that I had initially bought but use only three when I mix now.

Cup of warm water- check. Didn't think of that, thanks. It's the little things that probably should be common sense that help ;-)

Except for the nic liquid I just use 'drops' for measurement on flavoring, but that's just me...
