What size blunt needles do I need?

[John175bramley]

Ordered my first set of mixing supplies from Chef's Vapour including some 10ml, 5ml and 2.5 ml syringes. Trouble is they didn't come with any bloody needles so I need to get some asap.

I've had a look on ebay and they come in several different sizes. Can anyone tell me which size(s) I should be getting?

I don't use needles! I just dip the end of the syringe in. But if you're making small batches, like 10ml ones I would recommend some 1ml syringes. I use them more than any other.

Oh right. I can see how I can dip the end of the syringe into my PG, VG and nic bottles but how do I get the concentrate out of the much smaller bottles?

Will get some 1mm syringes, ta for the tip.

18 guage is the typical size.

I pull off the dropper cap thingamajig and use the 1ml syringe.

I agree with BD1 18 gauge and a Bryans needle for vg.

18g for concentrates and PG / PC Nic

14g for AG/ AG Nic / thick juices

A drawing needle is super useful for pure VG if you use it. It is possible to do with a 14g needle, but it's a slooooow process.

For VG I go needle-less and dunk the syringe in the bottle, even then it's a hard draw. Then just wipe off the excess and good to go.

Thanks everyone!

I've ordered some 14g and 18g needles.

I'm going to try a mix just using the syringes for now as I'm too impatient to wait.

If you get into trouble getting to the bottom of the bottle just tip it in to a small glass. That is what I did with the VG first time.
