Using syringes and needles

[my4jewels]

I love my graduated cylinders! I usually use them, unless the recipe calls for very precise measurements. Then I'll use syringes for accuracy.

Pre mixing the pg/vg is a great idea. So there's another, why didn't I think of that!

Before I went to just VG and I used PG/VG, I would premix them to the ratio I used. I used a dedicated syringe/needle for the 100mg nic. One syringe/needle to one flavor, never used it again prior to cleaning and airing it out. I always keep a lrg cup of h20 to rinse the flavor out of the needles as soon as I am finished with them. The plunger is what soaks up the flavor in a syringe so the sooner you get it cleaned the better. JMHO

I pre dilute my 100mg/ml nicotine, into bulk batches. And I throw that syringe and needle away. I only had to get a drop on my skin once to learn better. Flavors I usually use different syringes.

I use my 3ml 14gauge blunt tip syringe to measure the VG, PG, and nic (nic last); I don't care if I get a little PG/VG in my nic either, it won't throw it off enough to matter for me. I then use one of my 1ml syringes with the plunger taken out to drip my flavors into and plunge them out. I figure it doesn't matter if I'm mixing the flavors in the same syringe since I'm mixing them together anyway! If my flavor bottle doesn't have a drop tip then I use a separate glass dropper for each flavor. I only rinse them with water, but I also do it as soon as I have all of my ingredients in and the tops on (can't forget that part! ).

You might be right. But, if one uses glass syringes it's not an issue. Glass costs more, hardly disposable. But, they're just so aesthetically pleasing.
