E-Liquid & Plastic?

[vuJim]

I occurs to me that my current tank (an Eleaf GS-Tank) would be easier to fill using something with a longer, more narrow tip than that of the rubber-bulb-droppers included with the bottles in which my juice is packaged. I'm thinking a syringe with a larger-diameter, blunt needle might be the way to go?

I'd prefer glass, but there's only one seller of such a thing on eBay, and they want $14, shipped, for the thing. So I'm wondering: Plastic syringe? Thing is: I'm not certain about the possibility of reaction between e-liquids and plastic?

What says the Common Wisdom?

Plastic syringe will work just fine ,you can find a decent selection at a livestock feed store

Some flavors don't do well with plastic.

Some flavors don't do well with plastic.

Even with short exposure?

I'm thinking draw the liquid, inject into tank, put remainder back in bottle, disassemble syringe, rinse thoroughly, set out to air dry.

cinnamon flavors are bad news for plastic ,there is one other one i can't think of ATM that is really bad also .i don't vape either one of those flavors

i have been using syringes for years with no problems ,

Cinnamon will melt almost instantly.
Pineapple

They do make "long metal needle tip" caps for juice bottles.

It may be just one brand of flavor.

TFA Pineapple will chemically react with the black plastic-rubber part of (most? all?) syringes in a matter of seconds. Ditto for their Ripe Banana.
TFA Cinnamon Red Hot takes a little while longer.
It's just a matter of exactly what kind of plastic they encounter. The reaction with some of the older syringes (especially the plunger part) and the plastic of old evods was pretty immediate and dramatic.
