A needle for VG :)

[zaroba]

A big ass needle. Handy for measuring VG based nicotine.
Had absolutely no trouble sucking 8ml of VG based nicotine into the syringe to put into recently mixed liquid.


Top needle was part of a Marinade Injection kit that I found in my shed a few weeks ago.
It has a luer lock connection and is stainless steel. But the bottom is closed and it has 2 holes on the side so it can't drain a bottle.

Top, Marinade needle on 10ml syringe, it's about twice the diameter of a 16 gauge needle.
Middle, 16 Gauge needle
Bottom, 18 gauge needle on 3ml syringe.

Very nice, thanks!

I have a few of these laying around, I had no idea they would fit! Thank you for sharing this little tidbit; you likely just saved my thumb and the palm of my hand from further bruising and pain

You should grind/snip off that sharp end before you stab yourself.
Don't ask me how I know this.

The end isn't sharp at all, quite rounded.
Was thinking of cutting it off right above the side holes anyway.

That's good, and then you can get to the bottom of the bottle...

I mix by weight. For VG & PG, I'm utilizing those cheap squeeze bottles that are used for Ketchup and Mustard. Works like a charm. I bought mine at Walmart, a set of two (red & yellow), for just a few bucks.

I've been setting my bottle of VG outside ,under a big round ,metal, bowl, in the sun to heat it up before mixing, Makes it thinner and easier to work with.

Or you could just get a 10 ml graduated glass cylinder for about $4 that can be washed and reused forever and never have to mess with VG and needles again...just saying

I take a 60ml syringe apart - mine came with caps so I cap it and just fill the syringe and then pour it into whatever container I need to. I do have 4" 14 gauge needles and 1 1/2 14 gauge needles if making smaller batches.

I have one.

But using it for nicotine would be like using it for flavoring, way to large.
Don't need to use much when diluting 120mg/ml down to 2-3mg/ml

Not to mention more then half of it would get left on the sides of the glass when pouring it out. When I use my 100ml cylinder to measure vg, even if I let it sit for 15 mins over a bottle to drip, when I stand it back up there will be 5ml in the bottom of it after a few hours. Easy to compensate for that with plain vg (just measure 5ml extra), but it would be a big loss when it comes to nicotine. Or it would take over an hour to make each bottle simply due to letting the cylinder drip. lol

I need to check out the marinator need I have I saved it for that reason but then forgot about it. I have been just getting the med dosing syringes from the pharmacy and using those but they dont reach the bottom of the bottle very well.
