I'm getting ready to order some higher strength NIC. To achieve my desired PG/VG ratio, I'll have to start adding VG to my mixes, which I didn't have to do previously. To clarify, using 24mg 50/50 NIC to make 12mg 75/25 mixtures only required adding additional PG with no VG. Due to the upcoming FDA stuff, I'd like to order some 48mg or stronger NIC. No matter what carrier base I select, it appears I'll either have to deal with some additional VG or use a higher VG base of NIC. Regardless, I'll have to start dealing with thicker liquid.

Since I don't have VG yet to verify for myself, I'm wondering if anyone uses Wizard Lab's disposable pipettes (3ml $0.15) for transferring VG. Are these strong enough to do the job? If these aren't suitable, what's the minimum guage for syringes I should purchase?

I got the 14 gauge blunt from WL and it works fine with the VG.

If the bottle mouth is wide enough, a standard oral syringe (no needle at all) can be easier to work with. Readily available at pharmacies, they'll often give one or two away free, else just ask where the oral syringes for babies are located.

Definitely easier to work with than pipettes, readily cleanable.
