Hi Rimp 
What little I've done I used syringes ...
guess if you were going to make a large amount a cylinder would be better

Wizard Labs has different sizes...I like the 5, 10 and 20 ml
Syringes, Needles, and Pipettes
they also have the blunt needles

I'm using the 1ml syringe the most with a 20ga. I should have bought several of those. One for each flavor and one for the nic. I'm rationalizing that I can do everything in one mix without leaving the table to wash the 1ml. The next most used is the 3ml, 10ml and 20ml. 14ga for the VG is a must.
Keep in mind that this is a new thing for me and I'm generally not doing anything over 15ml/10mg for the final result.

A scale. Mix by weight and there is no cleanup or extra expense for syringes, cylinders or other devices.
scale? what kind and where would I get one? how do you mix by wt instead of volume?
syringes and blunt needles from Amazon

Because I normally make a large quantity at a time, I find the 100ml glass graduated cylinder most helpful. I prefer the glass because it does not retain any odors from the flavoring and is easy to clean. Recently I have been reading where a scale that measure the liquid is the most accurate. But for my own use, I find the cylinder sufficient. Good luck to you and have fun.
I use syringes, and all of my batches are 10-50 ml so it works OK, but I can see benefits from using a scale and may go that route next. This thread may have some helpful info, and there are others if you search this sibforum for scale.

My eye site isnt what it use to be so I been using a 10 ml graduated cylinder with tape on the side and pen marks for corisponding to the graduate markings. I also use a 50 ml measuring cup. If I am doing a 30ml batch I will pour 20 ml in the measuring cup and then into the bottle im using, then do the last 10 ml in the graduatd cylinder.
If you have a feed store near by they usually have some pretty big ones, I get mine at a local feed store, they really cheap too....

Amazon has quite a few that would work. I have a $10 one that I have some issues with so I'm going to get Amazon.com: 500g X 0.01g Digital Scale 0.01 Gram Precision Scale for Jewelry Coins Reload By Bubble Star
And the calculator referenced above works very well with weight, and is a lot easier to use than eJuiceMeUp.
hotrods calculator is the most advanced tool i have used am hoping santa brings me a digital scale for xmas i put in the extra work when i set up hotrods program for pricing , weight and inventorywhen adding the 100 plus flavors so all i need is the scale
Yep, that is where I got mine. I bought 20, 30 and 60 ml w/blunt tipped needles. I've never used the needles. I use the 3 ml w/blunt tip for measuring flavorings and since I have 100mg nic in pg and mix my juice @ 10mg, I use the same 3ml for it. It is the perfect size for my 30ml batches of juice. I use the bigger syringes without needle for adding pg/vg and for mixing my base. HTH

Generally you can go to any drug store and buy syringes....
It's the needles you need a Rx for....
Just tell them what you want and if they ask what you are using them for, tell them....
There is no law in the U.S. regulating the sale of syringes.
(That I am aware of...)
A 60ml syringe is about $3.00 at most drug stores.
hotrods calculator and a scale I bought off ebay for less than $10 its the fastest most accurate way (I don't adjust for different weights for the ingredients I am more concerned with repeatability)
