    Question What syringe should I buy for cartridge re-filling?

    Was looking at this ebay entry http://www.ebay.com/itm/blunt-dispen...item418153c727 but have no idea which width to get..

    Would appreciate help with this - I prefer ebay as I need them shipped to me outside US/Europe.

    I just checked, and the blunt syringes that the Goulet Pen Co. sells to do this task are 20 gauge, so I guess I'd go with that.

    I bought the ones that Goulet's sell and they are perfect for the job.

    If One of the Brian's (Goulet Or Anderson) shop doesn't work due to shipping or customs fees most likely. Any blunt end 18 to 22 will work

    I purchased a box of diabetic syringes from a medical wholesaler cheaply. They work perfectly with a 1ml capacity. I do caution working with those sharp needles. The great thing is you can do accurate mixes for color mixing excercises. Box of 100 syringes with needles +- $9.00 (made in China varietele)

    I use a 3ml syringe body with 18 gauge transfer (blunt) needle. If you can find a local veterinary or medical supply that sells to the public that would probably be cheaper than international mail order ... or not. I got mine in the US from an amazon seller.

    You can often find a deal on amazon in the US that looks like this 10 syringes and needles for 5.37 w free shipping. (Note: that is not the same amazon seller I used a couple years ago and I have no experience with them). I don't know what it would cost to ship them to where you live though.

    Just go to the pharmacy and ask for one. Sometimes they them out for free especially ones connected to the hospital. I got mine for 25 cents.
