Just about to get into this 'mixing' malarky. Have got syringes, pipettes, needles etc from ebay and elsewhere... are there any rules about disposing of them. Do you just wash out and reuse or do you use a new one each time, and if so, how do you dispose of the old one? Sorry if this is a total 'newbie' question, put it down to age! ???

I just run a sink of hot water & flush them through 3 or 4 times.

paint some clear nail varnish over the numbers to protect the printed mls on them otherwise they wash off quickly if you get juice on the print
other than that just keep rinsing them

I'm not sure Perpetua, I've got a half dozen of flavours, but I think I'll keep it simple to start, Capellas 'Strawberry & Cream' sounds OK so will probably start with that before mixing others. I need to be led gently...  |

Lol . . . simple is good to start with Raffles whilst you get a feel for your flavourings and the concentrations that suit you. |

I need to be led gently... That was the very same mix I did first Raff and its lovely. Been vaping it a lot. Ran out yesterday so will do some more. Good luck with it. |

The first one will slightly dissolve the paint on the syringe and if you put on a second coating before the first one dries, then you will smear the lettering on the syringe. |

Someone recommended clear sellotape to me too, and it certainly works!

There isn't really any need to get the outside of the syringes wet. I pull the needles off & soak them in a basin of hot water. I fill up & empty the syringes in the same hot water by just putting the tip into the water, then I put the needles back on & fill & squirt a couple more times just to be sure. If any juice does get on the syringe body, I just wipe it with a damp cloth.

On the subject I ordered some mixing needles a couple of weeks ago from a vendor and was sent hypodermic needles, why oh why would any vendor supply these or even stock them for mixing eliquids ?
