Ok so I just recived some eliquid from VapeDudes in the mail. I was filling my PHOENiX cartos (love these) and you have to fill them with a syringe. Well my needle tip got stuck inside one of my eliquid bottles (they are tiny 10ml bottles)! Oops!!! Help!! How do I get it out?? Lol I love this flavor and would really like to salvage it along with my needle tip!! Suggestions?? Thanks for reading!!

Pour the liquid into another bottle.

 

[KalebK]

Unfortunately, even though thats a great idea, I have no empty bottles!

When you say stuck, do you mean that it came off and is down inside, or just stuck in the top and won't come out? Gentle pulls with a little circular motion should loosen it up. If it came completely off the syringe, gently grasp it with needlenose pliers and pull. If it's down inside, the top of the bottle will pull off and tweezers should get it out. 10ml bottles have pretty good sized spouts.

 

[KalebK]

Yea it came off the syringe!! Lol. Ill try needle nose plyers. Thanks!!

 

[KalebK]

Does anybody ever have one of those days where nothing goes right? This mornin I have managed to get sour cream on my shirt and before that, I got the other syringe tip I had stuck in the same bottle that the other one is stuck in. Yep, its one of those days!! ::

 

[BeadyKate]

You could try a very small tweezers, it might fit in the bottle.

Visit a local drug store and see if they sell any kind of small empty plastic bottle you can get most of the liquid into, then carefully cut off the top of the bottle with an xacto knife. Remove the tip, then carefully pour the rest of the liquid into the new bottle. Might be a good reason to keep an empty 30ml bottle around eh?

 

[KalebK]

Haha yea, just cut the bottle, I got my tios back, yay!!! Lol

 

[Deathnote4U]

the tip of the dropper should come off, so you can pop that off for syringe use in the future. Just hold the bottle and pull the top piece out with a wiggling motion.

 

[KalebK]

Yea, thats how I was doing it but it gets really tricky when the bottle is only half or 3/4 full!!! Sooo frustrating, any suggestions??

Longer needles. Next time I order anything from anywhere online, I'm adding a true syringe, LuerLock or whatever it is, and some long blunt tipped needles for it into my cart. They're dirt cheap and I really wish I had done it when I ordered some Clearos from MVS, but alas I didn't.

 

[KalebK]

Sweet, I didn't know they came with longer needles. Thanks!! What do u mean by true syringe?? Im using the one that came with my PHOENiX clearos.

I'm guessing something like this? CE2 Cartomizer Syringe Refill Kit

While it works, that's a pretty basic syringe kit and the tips don't lock onto the body.

If you look at this one, you'll see where it has some threads on it to help keep the tip in place.

10 ml Luer-Lok Syringe

And then these are some of the tips available for it.

Luer-Lok 20 Gauge Blunt Tip 1.5" - Yellow

A luer lock syring has little threads inside the hub that the needle actually screws onto. Keeps a needle from popping off.

 

[KalebK]

Wow, thats so cool!! What a concept, this makes me happy. I am having a much better day today than yesterday!!! Just ordered a Xtar WP2 charger from 310Vapers, yippee!!!!

 

[Spazmelda]

Kalebk- you might also consider bottles with a luer lock top. They are inexpensive and a super easy way to dispense your liquids without having to deal with a syringe. I use them to fill my tanks and it makes it quick and easy.

Oh, nice. Might have to order a handful of those. Already inexpensive, but I should find out if I get any kind of discount at Grainger considering how much my employer orders from them.

Only thing I can think of for that tho, might want to make sure if you order the needles that you try and get sleeves or scabbards for them. Both for safety and to "close" the bottle. I know you can take it off and then close the bottle, but one less step would be nice.

I'll have to dig around on the site and see if they sell the needles as well.

 

[HawkeyeFLA]

Ah, here we go. The sleeve at least. Needle Cover, 1 1/2 In Length, Pk 50 - Dispensing Needle and Syringe Accessories - Dispensing Guns - 5FVN6 : Grainger Industrial Supply

Now to just see if they sell the needles themselves.
