Where to buy syringes, needles and coilmaster

[doveman]

I'm happily making my own e-liquids now, thanks to the great advice I received here. I haven't managed to create anything quite as nice as my favourite pre-made flavour but I've made some quite acceptable alternatives.

The only thing I didn't get with my kit was needles, which I'll need fairly soon once the levels in the bottles go down to the point where it's not practical to just stick the syringe in. I understand I need a special needle for the thicker VG but that I could use the same type for the PG and Nicotine as well, so I could just get three of those if they're cheaper than the normal needles.

The syringes aren't great either and the plunger tends to stick, which is a bit annoying when I'm trying to squeeze a bit back out to get to the right mark and it sticks and then jumps and pushes too much out, so if there's somewhere I could get some better ones without spending silly money I'd like to do that.

I've also recently bought a SubTank Mini and I've been told that I need to get a coilmaster for making my coils.

Can anyone recommend anywhere I could get all of those together for a reasonable price? The problem with getting them from different places is often with small orders the P&P costs as much as the items, so if I can get them all together it should be more economical. If there's places I can get them separately that don't charge P&P, or only a small amount, that would be fine though.

EBay is pretty good for syringes and needles, ft for the coil master or the kuro coilers.

It's not strictly necessary to use needles doveman, you can always decant a small amount into something like a ramekin and draw up into your syringe from that.

Other than that, Ebay is a good source as prr says - or even Amazon?

i bought these, the blunt needles are thinner than no needle (DUH!) so be prepared to hold the plunger open while VG slowly fills the body but they do work and are cheap cheap

doveman I tend to buy 18g needles by the 100 as they easy get chogged up with gunk and my erl clone needs a needle fill - would you like 10?

Might have some spare 5ml syringes (will have to have a good hunt) so PM me and I'll see if I can help out?

otherwise as others have said - ebay

PS. Just seen your request for a coil winding tool

This is what i use - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/METAL-BEAD-REAMER-AWL-CRAFT-TOOL-5-2-x-2MM-MIXED-COLOURS-SET-OF-1-4-/181571405423?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item2a467fc66f cheap as chips and does the job



PPS. For decanting liquids try pound land shot glasses

I have bough off him, make sure you send him a message with your order telling him to send the correct size cos he has sent me the wrong sizes

Thanks MD, very kind of you, I've PM'd you.

I did actually buy 100 plastic shot glasses from Sainsbury's for about £1 but haven't really used them as any liquid I pour into them ends up being more than I need and so I then have to pour the leftovers back into the main bottles and all that faffing about is only more likely to make me spill something.

I also bought a 100ml travel bottle set from poundland, which will be better as I can just refill those occasionally, minimising chances of accidents but then realised I'd still have the same problem without any needles, so haven't used those either. The main reason I bought them is so that I can decant 100ml into them, so that if I knock the bottle over I won't spill my entire supply! I still need to get a funnel to pour the liquids between bottles as well.

Thanks guys, I'll have a look at Amazon and e-bay or maybe FT for the coilmaster if I can be bothered to wait.

doveman a tip that I find useful is that when you're mixing put a blob of Blu-Tac on the bottom of the empty bottles then stick them to your table it makes them a lot harder to tip over if you knock them or your table.

lol, that's a good idea. If I make some room, maybe I should just glue them to my worktop
