Syringes/Pipettes Smaller Than 1ml/cc?

[CrazyChef]

I like to mix SMALL batches of new flavor mixes that I want to try. In eJuice Me Up, on a 5ml sample mix, if I use a 0.5% flavoring amount, it only comes out to 0.025ml. That's kinda hard to regulate in a 1ml/cc syringe until I scale the recipe up. But if the initial amount is off just a bit, the recipe will taste different once scaled up. Without knowing the specific gravity of each and every flavoring, measuring by weight is also out of the question - isn't it? At 0.025ml, eJuice Me Up doesn't even register the flavor as a single drop.

So, are there any <1ml/cc syringes available anywhere? I can't seem to find any...

Thanks!
CC

Blood testing pipettes, they are glass and hold about .25cc

 

[BigNasty]

Also some .5cc ones out there.

I was never able to find any, aside from the teeny ones that TFA would include in small sample packages. If I have a flavor that requires that tiny amount, which is fairly often, lately, I just make a10ml bottle and use a drop.

 

[CrazyChef]

Cool - thanks! I just found these on Amazon

I went ahead and ordered them. I had only searched for syringes - not pipettes. So that's why I started this thread. I'd still prefer syringes, though, so if you see any let me know, okay?

Thanks again,
CC

Looking for something like this?

Looking for something like this?

I get those from BCV with a luer lock for the needle at the end, but even then, working with small amounts the amount of liquid in the needle isn't exactly negligible. I usually make tiny batches based on guesstimates to see if I think I'll like something, if I do I make a bigger batch that's more accurate. That first bigger batch is rarely my last anyway, as I'll tweak most recipes at least 5-6 times until I'm left with something only vaguely reminiscent of where I started...now I'm done.

Editing to add that I like having 10-15 ml test batches anyway so I can check in on how recipes age and to go back and forth between my v1, v2, v3 etc. to see how my tweaks are actually taking effect, versus just screwing with my memory of older versions...

I have those and love them! Got mine from a Chinese vendor on eBay for $1.19 for 100....lol!

 

[CrazyChef]

@j3rian Yes and no - yes, I would prefer syringes, but no - I already have a large assortment of 1, 3, 5, and 10ml syringes. Looking for something under 1ml.

 

[nabibrian]

I have been searching for something like that as well.
I am close to finding something. I will keep searching

 

[CrazyChef]

Please let me know if you find something, okay? Thanks!

@CrazyChef
Woo hoo! I think I found it....
What we need is a 0.50 ML or aka: 1/2 cc syringe
Here is what I found: (click on image)
It is a 100 count box. If you have too many before I purchase, feel free to sale/mail me some lol

NOTE:
Keep in mind, these will have needles as they are diabetic supplies.

 

[CrazyChef]

Awesome - Thanks!!!

 

[nabibrian]

@CrazyChef
Here is another that is even yet a size lower...

3/10cc

But, these have 30g needles - kinda small.

Great minds think alike!

You need what is generally sold as an Insulin Syringe
0.3 or 0.5ml with 0.01ml graduations.

Top syringe is a typical 3ml, bottom is an insulin syringe.



Bah, took me 20 mins to find that syringe and type up a reply.
Looks like you guys already figured it out.

At least, now we know my search yielded correct results.
Google rocks!! lol

 

[zaroba]

BTW, there is no way to put a luer lock or luer slip needle on the syringe.
Pull off the old needle and the base is too small to hold onto a luer needle.

So, either gotta try to use that 28 or 30 gauge needle with flavors, might not be hard unless you have a vg based flavor
Or maybe pull off the needle and use it without one. Which might be more accurate, wouldn't have to worry about the 0.0001ml inside the needle.

 

[CrazyChef]

That's what I was thinking. But for such small amounts, I don't think it'll be a problem.
Besides, I've been known to pull 10ml of VG through an 18g blunt tip...

 

[CrazyChef]

So this came in today... 100pcs 0.2ml pipettes.

I love those, have a ton of them! And at $1.19, you can't go wrong.....

These are the ones I use for flavors but I did not get them for this price the ones I have a plastic I'M just wondering the quality of the ones you have since there Chinese???

 

[Teresa P]

Mine are great! I even soak them in hot water and a cap of bleach to clean them, hot water rinse and thorough air dry. I throw them away if I use a particularly strong flavoring or if they just wear out.
BTW....there are many U.S. vendors that cash in on the savings and get these from China so they can jack up the prices before passing them on to us.

I will ck them out I waste a lot when mixing fruit flavors they seem to cause them to seize no matter how I clean them I have had better results with cleaning with cold water for these. Thanks

 

[Teresa P]

Heaven knows they're cheap enough to throw away, $10 worth would set anyone up for awhile.... Lol!

 

[VinceV1]

Drops as measurement ? This is what I do with small quantities.

Edit : My mistake... you said it was smaller than a drop.

 

[Budds]

Maybe Im the odd one out......

But with concentrates that I use in tiny amounts, like FA CamTel or TFA Coconut Extra, I just dilute the concentrate and use more of the diluted.
Coconut Extra I dilute 9/1,( 9 mils of PG to 1 mil of Concentrate, ).
In that way I can use small amounts that are easy to read in a syringe.

Just a thought.............
