Glass Syringes

[s3rv3d]

Thanks guys, Think ill go for 1ml glass and all plastic for larger syringes. Its only concentrates that ruin them, I can manage with plastic for VG/PG. Mainly menthol i found destroys them.

Unless you are considering buying glass syringes with stainless steel plungers, I would consider going for all plastic syringes (without the rubber thing on the end). I've been using them for nearly two years - and measuring cylinders - with no issues.

Where do you get those from?

2ml 5ml 10ml or 20ml Syringes With Blunt Needles. Refill ink e-cig Glue Flux | eBay

PP Disposable Syringes Applicators BD Becton Dickinson ALL SIZES Sterile Luer | eBay

I'm trying to find them cheaper on farm and vet supplies websites but struggling to find the ones you mention.

I bought a load from a medical suppliers a long time back. Still got loads, so drop me your name and address and I'll post some up to you

Added bonus is that the markings are indented, so they don't come off easily - and if they do fade, you can rub a marker pen over then and wipe off the excess and they are visible again

Thanks loads.. I go through many of the ones with the rubber bungs.

Do the plastic ones go stiff at all?

I'm not sure what you mean - but they do seem to do the same as the ordinary plastic ones when you use certain concentrates - the plunger feels less smooth, if that makes sense? Give them a good rinse and then they appear to "go back to normal". Hope that's along the right lines?

Have you got a link to the medical supplier you got the better plastic syringes from please?

 

[EthelKing]

I honestly can't remember where I got them from as it was over a year ago. They are the same as the ebay links Stu posted but blue rather than green.

I'll have a search to see what I can find. I seem to remember that they were on a special offer at the time, which is why I bought a box of each.

I'll post up if I can find the place

I had to start hunting after my last failed search..

Googling "Discardit Syringes" brings up a lot of results with these syringes. That may be a brand name, it may be the name of the nozzle.. I dunno *shrugs shoulders..

Yeah thats what i mean by stiff, with the rubber though they dont go back to moving nicely and it gets hard to accurately dispense 0.06ml for example. Thanks think i will go with glass just for concentrates. Then these plastic ones for 2ml+
