Why bother with a syringe when you can use these.

[Exchaner]

I find these vials much easier to work with than a syringe for measuring vg into my mixes. All you do is pour directly from your bottle into the vial up to the graduation mark. They come in several sizes from 5 ml up to 50 ml's.

At work I use sometimes serological pipettes (like this one VALUE BRAND 25mL Pipet, Bulk Packed in Bags, PK200 - G4698522 at Zoro ) for measuring viscous (VG-like) liquids. They are very much like measuring cylinders, just a bit thinner and with a hole in the bottom. If, for example, I need 15 mL of liquid, I will measure it, pour it down, wait for some time for liquid on walls to go run down, pour it again, wait again... Up to 4 ml of liquid out of 15 ml could stick to walls. So, I use it only for "approximate" measurements. For viscous liquids I prefer syringe.

Of course if you are preparing your juice in the same vessel (without pouring out separate components) everything said by me does not matter.

Hi alien, just curious what is the function of negative graduation marks in these pipettes. Are they to compensate for accidental mistakes?

I make my nic base up 200 ml at a time cutting it down to 3 mg. This is what I use to measure both my PG and my VG. I do use a syringe for my nic to be more accurate.

It's another take on the graduated cylinder

Except this is shorter than a graduated cylinder and you can use it to directly mix and store your juices. As an added advantage, they cost pennies a piece.

I don't see partial graduations only full ml markings. Useless without the other markings IMHO

One man's junk is actually another man's treasure. To me these vials are priceless. Here how I solve the problem with partial graduations. If I were to dispense 22 mg of vg for example, I would pour 20 ml into the vial and then add 2 ml from a graduated dropper. Problem solved and I have avoided the use of a syringe with air bubbles and all...

I have graduated glass lab ware and use it when mixing/measuring for large batches of juice but it isn't as accurate as a syringe for small batches. The viscosity of VG causes it to cling to the walls of the glass container, so not all will pour out. With a syringe, the rubber seal on the plunger pushes all the VG out making it more accurate for small mixes.

I am not using these vials to transfer liquids. Just for mixing and storing juice - both in one step. Think of them as plastic bottles with graduations. They have totally eliminated the use of a syringe for me except for adding small amounts of flavor. I still use a small syringe or pipette for that purpose. There is no getting away....

Interesting. At twenty cents a pop for 30ml bottles that is a viable option for storing diy

 

[Rat2chat2]

Thank you so much for posting these. I think it is a good deal also. I go out of my way not to measure. I have bought the syringes from my pharmacist for like .23 cents a piece that have come in handy. Happy vaping in California. I would love to visit there at least once before I quit vaping.

@Str8vision Where do you get your syringes and glassware from? (Hopefully both from the same place.

It's been a year or two but the last I bought was from RTS vapes;
