Dispensing bottles with a manual pump?

[ShiftyBizniss]

Hello!

I'm looking for a solution to speed up my bottling process. Through my searches, I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Here's the challenge:
I have 8 x 500mL to dispense from. (6 x flavour base, 1 x PG, 1 x VG). I dispense nic from a dropper bottle, since it's usually only a couple mL at a time.

Currently, I have all my flavour base in bottles with yorker caps, but as you can imagine, that's a pain in the ... and can get messy if I'm not careful.

What I'm looking for is a hand pump (like a soap/lotion pump) for the bottles to which I can attach a silicone tube, so I can just pump the liquid through the tube to the bottle that is sitting on the scale. That way, I don't have to pick up and flip over the flavour bottles every time. Has anyone had success with this kind of approach? Not sure if that kind of pump would stop quick enough or allow single drops when approaching my desired amount.

Thanks!

The type of pump you're looking for is rather expensive for home DIY. Not worth the cost.

Yeah, I'm aware of the expensive ones. The bottle dispenser tops like this (see below) but I'm wondering about a cheaper alternative that doesn't measure or claim perfect accuracy. Basically a soap pump with a hose. Just wondering if anyone has worked a solution like that before.

Welcome and glad you joined.

You will need a stop mechanism (vacume,valve etc.), which cost money, to stop errant drops. You get what you pay for.

You can likely do a search on google or amazon for pump bottles and come up with plenty to choose from if that's the sort of bottle your looking for.

And look at this thing. If your looking for a PG/VG despenser pump I think this would work nicely. I wished they had one that fit a gallon jug.

I was going to recommend the auto fluid pump. I bought one for a few bucks last summer for a transmission fluid change and immediately thought of it for this question.
