Tried to Purchase a Syringe ...

[Jackiej5407]

GEEZ! At lunch I went 3 different places to buy an 18 gauge syringe:

1. Walgreens - only had 22 gauge
2. CVS - only had 24 gauge
3. Medical Supply House ... the pharmacist asked me in VERY harsh tone: What are you going to use it for? I pulled out my ecig and told him it was to refill my cartridges w/nicotine. He just started shaking his head emphatically saying "No. I won't do that." THEN he followed it up with, "You need a prescription, anyway". I told him that I most certainly did NOT ... then realized this wasn't worth my time ... and left ... in a big huff!!!

GAWD but I'm furious to have been treated like that! Just wanted others to be forewarned in case they encounter the same crap!

So now it's 1 1/2 hrs later, and because you can't keep a Good Vaper down, I went to another Walgreens. Got an 18 gauge. No sweat. No fuss.

Hmmm...buy online, save a whole bunch of BS from Pharmacists who think they have some power.

Do you use a vet for any animals you might have? That's where I got mine.

He likely didn't know what your PV was. He probably thought it was some newfangled drug delivery device or something. +1 on the vet!

buy a bundle of cartos from Crystal Clear Vaping and he includes a free 18 gauge, 5ml syringe. The good kind, with the Luhr-lock tip.

Yep I've ordered them from dr foster and smith site...or you could get them at a feed & seed type store where they sell vaccinations for pets. Gotta love the way folks like to look down their nose when they don't even have any freaking idea why.

Guess I am lucky to work in medical. We have lots!

Wow. I would have been tempted to say, "Well, I abuse IV drugs, and if I can't find a fresh syringe I'll have to resort to sharing needles and then disposing of them by the nearest playground." Who am I kidding? I would have said NOYFB.

Sad to see my concerns were warranted. They are easy enough to purchase online though.
