Question for the "syringe method" mixers here

[JuicyLucy]

I have a scale I use to measure medicines for sick tropical fish - and I hate it

Much prefer measuring by volume

Why, were you using like 100 syringes? I use about 3 at a time... a 3ml, a 1ml, and a great big 10ml. When they wear out, I get some new ones from a ziplock under the counter.

But as I've mentioned, I'm sure that having filtered water right at the kitchen tap does make a difference for me; I can rinse my syringes very easily after each flavor. I usually fill 2 bowls of water; one of hot water, one of filtered water, and give each syringe about 3-5 flushes from each, after each flavor. It still takes barely half an hour to mix up 10 days' worth, though I "clean as I go".

Bought in bulk and different sizes so maybe a bag of 30.... so yep more space. Scale only takes up 3x10x6 ish

I keep my bagful of them down below the counter; only the ones that are in active use are up top -- 3 syringes. Well ok, 5, since 2 of them have 16ga needles, 2 of them have 18ga, and the big fat 10ml has a 14ga. I use a lot more PG than VG, but when I do need to measure some VG, the 16ga and 14ga make it a lot easier. But 5 syringes don't take up nearly 3x10x6 inches.
