Good afternoon, I have a order of disty
coming in and am looking to possibly use syringes instead of carts to save a few bucks. I am curious to know what kind of syringes would work best. Would cheap plastic syringes work ok? Or should I look for something a little more suitable? I am looking on DHGate but want to make sure that any syringes I purchase will not damage disty. Will plastic syringes cloud disty up or do anything unpleasant to my disty? As always, any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks for your time🤙
From my experience cheap syringes will not work well the distillate will gum up the plunger and not allow it to plunge properly good luck bud

syringes instead of carts? are there terpenes in this mix?

Yes, the syringes I am looking out are $0.07 a piece and they are from a seller on DHGate from China that’s why i am a little hesitant. All the carts I look at are a little to pricey for some counterfeit carts and yes I think I am going to add about 8%-15% terps. FYI This is my first time cutting disty with anything including terps
the terpenes are going to be iffy in plastics / certain types of syringe plungers

These work I just filled a few raw uncut syringes of that same glass syringe

Also, thanks for the help sorry to bombard you with all these questions. What if I used no terps? Still think it would be iffy in a syringe? Ideally I do want carts but cannot find reasonable prices for decent hardware, do you know of any good markets?
Ive also used those for distillate theyre good I am not too sure about the plunger with terpenes though I know on regular syringes the terpenes make a cloudy mess around the plunger

Definitely not going to use terps if I do go with syringes then. How long does it take to form cloudiness? If I do get syringes, I will ideally just test out a gram in a syringe to make sure there are no terps already added before I fill all of them but there shouldn’t be. These liters smell like straight disty, no extra scents

Dm me a pic or 2?
Straight distillate is to thick for a syringe at room temp. With the terpenes added, the mix will flow more proportional to the % of terps.

Same ones?
Same as the ones in the link. Iirc, acrylic is the material used. Dont drop them, they break.
Filling them is tricky
Straight 90% disty, no terps or cut.

But I’ve been told that terps will react with the plunger and cause clouded disty near the plunger

If I use a hot plate I should be able to suck up the disty without actually filling them right?
How do you plan on weighing them correctly?
