Syringes And Needles


jtphenom

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

I just got my EMDCCs in the mail, along with some syringes and 18 gauge blunt-tip needles. My questions:

1. When I started filling my cartos with this needle, when putting the needle alongside the batting, it pushed the batting away from the sides a bit. Is that going to hurt anything, do you think?

2. I've seen some people flick their syringe before they start filling. What does that do? Just get air bubbles out? What happens if I don't do that?

3. How do I take apart a syringe to clean it?

Thanks as always, friends!

James

Just seems like another step to me,I just drip right into my carto's.To clean it just draw water or whatever you want to use in and squirt it out.Flicking-people do some strange things for what makes good sense to them.The filler will be allright.

Na - it should expand out a little bit. Just make sure you are very careful to keep the syringe right near the edge. I syringe fill on larger cartos, but if it is small enough and the condom it comes with is tall enough, the condom method really is better.

2. I've seen some people flick their syringe before they start filling. What does that do? Just get air bubbles out? What happens if I don't do that?

Those people watch too much TV. Way, way back, doctors and nurses would do that to knock the air bubbles loose so that they would float to the top of a liquid, as it is very, very bad to inject someone with air. You don't have that problem with with juice. Beyond that, modern syringes have much better suction, and if you fill it correctly - there won't be any air in there anyway.

3. How do I take apart a syringe to clean it?

Well, if you want to clean it, just take some distilled water and suck it in the same way you would suck juice in, and squirt it back out a few times. I suppose you can do it with regular water, but better safe than sorry. If you know anything about netty-pots, it is a bad idea to use tap water near your nasal passages, and while vaping isn't the same thing, I err on the side of utter paranoia.

ejuice is water soluble, and this should help you get the gunk out of your syringe.

Thanks, folks. Deadpool, I am using the eGo Mega Dual Coils, which hold around 3.5 - 4 ml of juice. That's why I'm using a syringe.

Does anyone know if the product at the link below is the same as an eGo Mega DCC?

They are a bit different I believe. With those ones you will have to puncture a seal in the middle of it. I've used them before and they suck compared to the mega dcc's.

These here: http://www.madvapes.com/eGo-Mega-Dual-Coil-Cartomizer-Flat-Tip_p_3225.html

Or these: http://www.madvapes.com/Clear-eGo-Mega-Dual-Coil-Cartomizer-Round-Tip_p_3207.html

Plus i'm not sure if i'm looking at it corectly but 15.99 for a pack of 5 isnt a very good deal. If you want to try a couple of them thevaporroom has them for 1.50 each. Heres a link to them plus they have a video how to fill them. http://thevaporroom.net/egocartomizer.html

the ego 'mega' dcc cost more than just the regular ego dcc. the one you linked is smaller. around 15$ sounds about right for a pack of 5

You really don't need a syringe to fill the EMDCC,s just tilt the carto drip about 20 drops around the edge (5 drops rotate a bit repeat) let it sit for a few and repeat. Takes about 90-100 drops depending on the juice. :cheers:

Wow I watched that video and those things look like a pain in the butt. I mean $1.50 is a good price I guess, but it's got so many pieces. Plus I don't like the flat tipped stuff. And I like the larger capacity of the EMDCCs (even though it says 5 ml, I can't get more than about 3 ml).

Definitely don't NEED one, but man is it faster than dripping them full. I, for one, am impatient and lazy :)

I didn't say there was anything wrong with NOT using them. Just that it makes you slow, and when the zombie apocalypse comes, you will be in the back.

So the choice is clear. Use syringes, or become a zombie. And I like eating brains less than I like syringes.
