..I have a real problem with siphoning juice into my syringe to fill my Smokymizers and the like.
I've tried using the syringes that come with the cartos, I've tried using a larger bore 'printer ink' syringe.
Honestly, it would be easier to grow my own tobacco!
I haven't seen anyone else complain about this problem so I must be doing something fundamentally stupid.
(nothing new there then!)
Help me, help me........

Unless I am beyond help..

when you insert the syringe pull the plunger up and hold it the vacum will draw the liquid up slowly but it will come once you have enough in the syringe just release the pressure on the plunger and bingo a full syringe ready for use

Sounds like the juice is too thick for the needle, remove the plastic Bung from the bottle and insert the syringe without the needle attached to draw your juice. Replace needle and fill carto.

Use a 14 gauge syringe Lynda.
Available cheaply from Liberty Flights.

By coincidence I was filling my syringe today and found it was too slow with the needle attached. I tipped a quantity of juice into a lid (the juice was a fair way down the bottle) and sucked it up with the needle off. I then replaced the needle and bob's yer auntie!  I'm using some hard-topped Boge cartomizers presently and the caps don't come off so I stick the needle in the connector end - works fine. Fox |

I always take the needle off the end of a syringe when filling it as well Lynda . . . then just pop it back on after, seems to work quite happily.  |
