Thanks chykensa , I was going to buy some nail polish but I'll try sellotape first as I've already got that

As for the beakers, I'm concerned that just like the cylinders they'd be harder to measure something like 47ml with than syringes but I'll probably pick up a couple and give them a go.

Good tip. I'm still not sure about getting those ones from Vapable though as reviews say they start sticking after a while, so if anyone can recommend a good source for long-lasting 1ml and 5ml syringes I'd appreciate it.

I'm just ordering my next batch of flavours from Vapable and I need to get some new syringes. The 10ml ones I've got are marked BD Plastipak and they're fine, the plunger's not sticking after a year of use and only the 10 marking has faded slightly, where my finger's been rubbing on it I guess. The green 6ml ones, which are marked Braun Inkjet, are awful though, they're very stiff now as they don't have the black rubber bung inside them that the 10ml ones have. The markings haven't faded though. With the 1ml ones that I use just for Nic (I can't read the brand name anymore), all the markings above 0.7 have pretty much rubbed off and the plunger gets a bit stiff above 0.5ml.

Vapable sell some syringes that look like my 10ml ones with the black plunger but the reviews say the markings rub off very easily and they start to stick after a while, so can anyone recommend any long-lasting 1ml and 6ml syringes?

I'm currently mixing 30ml bottles but I'm thinking of going to 100ml to save time, as then I can just pour in 2*10ml bottles of flavour (either both the same or two different ones) rather than syringing up 6ml (or 3/3 if I'm mixing a 50/50 flavour). I guess I'd want some 50ml syringes to do that, as I'd be using 30ml PG and 47.2ml VG. If I want to do a 15%/5% flavour mix, that would be 15ml and 5ml so I could use 10ml and 5ml syringes for that (well just 5ml really, as I could just pour a whole 10ml bottle in then just add the 5ml). Can anyone recommend some good 50ml syringes and 100ml bottles?

I have this weird problem with my 30ml bottles when I take them out with me. I keep them wrapped in a carrier bag and in my inside breast pocket, so they should stay mostly upright but whenever I get to wherever I'm going and take them out I find they've leaked a bit and made the bag and bottles all sticky. They've got tips in them, it's not like the top is wide open under the cap, so I don't really understand why this is happening and can only hope that I can get some 100ml bottles that don't do this.

I'm currently vaping a Kanagar Subtank Mini (>30W) on a Clouper Mini but I've got an IPV D2 (>75W) my friend gave me. I can't go above 20w with the Subtank before it tastes burnt though, so what tank/coils would be good for the IPV? I do find fitting the coils (pre-built) on the Subtank a bit fiddly as you have to bend each end round the screws, which isn't too bad once you've done one end but trying to hold the unattached coil steady whilst doing the first end is awkward, so maybe something with holes to poke the ends through would be easier. I've been told the Smok TFv4 is a good tank but looking at the "How to rebuild the RBA" guide on their website, it seems to be exactly the same as the Subtank www.smoktech.com/atomizer/tfv4

I guess not. Maybe someone should remove their code from the list, so that people don't take the discount into account when deciding where to order from, only to find the code doesn't work once they get to the checkout.

They still have very competitive prices anyway, so might still be the best choice but it saves time if people have accurate information about who has working discount codes.

Thanks Chrissie

That's not as bad as when I forgot to press Calculate and started to syringe about 10 times as much flavour into a 30ml bottle that was almost full and only realised my mistake once it starting spilling over onto the counter

As for syringing VG, I don't really find that a problem without needles (which I don't need to use once I've decanted it into the tub) but I only tend to use the 10ml syringe for that as my 30ml 50/50 mixtures need about 13.5ml. Don't think I've tried with a 1ml but the hole is probably wide enough for it not to be a problem with that either, it's just the needles with their narrow openings that cause problems.

I find it very quick using the tubs, as I can syringe up the VG and squeeze it into a 30ml bottle, then repeat for another 5, then do the same with the PG and the nicotine before putting them away and doing the flavours, which takes the most time. With shot glasses I'd either have to decant enough of the base ingredients into shot glasses to do six 30ml bottles, or keep refilling the same shot glass as I went along, both of which seem more fiddly and prone to accidents than using the tubs.

I bought some of these bottles with needle caps, for no particular reason other than I needed some bottles and they were cheap I wasn't concerned about the type of caps they came with as I have plenty of normal caps spare anyway.

However I wonder if these needle caps might actually be useful for steeping, by allowing some air in whilst (mostly) avoiding the risk of accidental spillage from leaving the bottles completely uncapped?
