Is there such thing as a syringe other than buying an expensive glass type that the lines and numbers don't rub off? Been into this DIY for a short time. It only takes about a week and I start losing the lines and numbers.Thats why I buy a few at a time but just wondering if there are better ones out there that maybe have indented lines or something

I like the clear packing tape idea. The main reason I order new syringes is that the plunger loses its lube and begins to stick. Anyone have a suggestion on what would be safe to lube it with after that happens? I don't want to vape something I used to lube the plunger ... even in minute amounts!

VG should do the trick quite nicely.

I get syringes that the numbers don't wear off from the place that I get my parrot supplies but they only come in 1 ml and 1/2 ml. I use them for small batches.

I use glass graduated cylinders that I got for a reasonable price from my nic supplier (RTS Vapes) for making larger batches. Easy to rinse and the numbers never wear off.

Nah, VG doesnt work to lube plungers. Mine still stick after awhile. I think some of the things we work with are the culprit. I know menthol will destroy a syringe... I found that out last week. Now only glass droppers for that stuff. Also maybe the same thing is happening to the plungers as what happend in that other thread about endcaps melting?
