I have a syringe that goes up to 5ml but the needles I can find are too narrow to easily fill with the goopier juices. Any advice?

(The smaller the gauge the larger the bore)

Don't forget to consider the length of the needle beyond the collar - you want it to go to the bottom of the bottle (says he who's just taken delivery of 20 very short 14 gauge needles he thought would be useful for mixing).

I've got needles/nozzles from 20 gauge down to 10.

Not been mixing long and only discovered the tip given by tomj777 about using a shorter needle just now when trying to draw up a 60/40 mix into a 50ml syringe.

Printer Ink websites often have a range of sizes.

The 10 gauge haven't arrived yet but I have hopes that they'll work with 100% VG.

Been looking for somewhere selling these for a decent price for ages! Couldn't bring myself to pay C9V's postage for such piddly items..

Don't suppose you know anywhere that sell these with similar postage prices?
