What syringes do I need?

[omyeyes]

First time DIY juice and I'm ordering products. Exactly what size syringes will I need?? Thx in advance!

I would get some 1ml,5ml,10ml and 20ml syringes luer lock ones and few different size needles for PG and VG.VG is thicker so you want larger gauge for it and helps to place your VG bottle in some warm water before you use it.Makes it easier to fill up syringe.

Syringes, Needles, and Pipettes So cheap get a few of each needle and syringe.I recommend placing some tape or clear nail polish over numbers to prevent them from wearing off.

I'd get a bunch of 1's and 3's. I re-use the same 5 whenever needed, and haven't needed any larger, even making 30 ml, it's still just maybe 3 full 5's of VG or PG, right?

Well, you might not need bigger than 5ml right away, but as I've settled into some favorite recipes I find myself making some pretty big bottles of them (120ml). I can't imagine tackling that with a 5ml. Might as well invest in a good selection. They're cheap enough.

For the VG, I like to just take the needle off. It's a lot easier that way. Warming it like Vash said would be good also I imagine... I'm lazy though, so I've never actually tried it. You'll need a wide-mouth bottle of VG to be able to stick a big syringe down in the bottle though (like the kind you get from Wizard Labs).

I found that I only need them large enough for flavoring & nic. After that, I just fill to the top of bottle with VG and/or PG.

Don't forget the 14g needle! It's a blessing.

My bottles are usually marked as, for instance 10 ml, but hold closer to 11 or 12 depending on how full you get them. Not a HUGE variation in your flavor percentages, and the ratios would stay the same relative to one another but it might make things tough for new mixers. That said, I've done the same thing plenty of times.

To the OP, get a couple extra 1 ml syringes to save yourself time rinsing them out while you mix, and at least double the number of small (~5 or 10 ml) bottles you think you need. You'll want to be able to test the same recipe with a few different ratios and have them all steeping at the same time/ready to try.

For larger batches a graduated cylinder works very well. If the liquid is to thick warm it first.

You absolutely need to know how much your bottles hold. However a quick check can be done using a teaspoon where: 1 US tsp = 4.93 ml. You can even add a drop or two to each tsp to get even closer to 5ml
