Do I really need this system or can I just buy their 50 ct pouches and use a jumbo syringe to fill them?

I suppose if you had a food processor you could make your own and fill the bags. Probably be cheaper that way!

You can try a syringe. I tried one, ...as well as pastry bags, they mostly worked, but it took a TON longer and it was a much bigger mess. I hate having extra kitchen gadgets around, but when you are doing 20-30 packs at a time, I found this filling station made things go much more smoothly... I wanted to hate it. I love it.

I would just look for the reusable pouches that fill from the bottom...the holes on these pouches is so narrow you can only fill these with the silkiest of purees...other wise they clog or don't allow air to escape and shoot contents from the tops of the fill tubes. Wasted food, pouches, AND a mess to clean up.

I can't imagine trying to fill it with a syringe! I don't like the "station" but the tubes that you screw the pouches onto are really nice and I like them! I use them independently from the stand!

I think it would make the whole process 2x harder. If the station is too expensive on Amazon (the price fluctuates) try looking at your local stores for a cheaper price.

It depends on how you want to connect them. You can easily connect them with the tubes provided. If anything you may want an extra T tube.

The short answer would be to ask the manufacture. Though I suspect that they will say "no." After their use most field expedient medical items are disposed of. Could you refill the plunger? Probably, but I wouldn't, the design doesn't lend to reuse (if it did, the manufacture would indicate it). There are too many negatives trying to reuse a medical product, which was designed as a one-shot deal.

Yeah it is crazy - I found a better deal here (sorry Amazon): http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3261+20823+3393&pcatid=3393 I bought 90 of them and it was dirt cheap I could never find an inexpensive syringe on Amazon regular Or if you like bulk Amazon Supply does have a great deal here: http://www.amazonsupply.com/kendall-8881903002-disposable-non-sterile-graduations/dp/B000K6RBYW/ref=sr_1_3?sr=1-3&qid=1393338755

I have the machine as well as these capsules, but the machine is not absolutely necessary. For example, we used these for my son's cough medicine that tasted horrid. I filled each one by hand using a small pipette since it was a liquid medicine. However, if you are going to be filling a bunch of capsules with something powdery, then using the machine is definitely easier/quicker.

NO. It's only the machine and carrying case. You have to find your own lancet and control solution. That's very inconvenient for someone new to all of this (like me).

The pouch is a refill. Buy the canister 1x then refill. Or you could just buy pouches and store it in Tupperware I suppose &#128516;

Here is the deal I will bring home a 5ml syringe ( I am an aesthetic nurse) and fill my empty bottle with 4.5 ml and tell you what my results are and follow up with you. I have a no BS policy and get to the bottom of things .

No. And make sure that you get the 3 or 5 mil pouches, not the 7ml, or it won't work.

This not for you. You'll want a capsule system. Just find one that has easy-to-find capsules.

You can fill the gun with a bulk fitting, but over very little time this makes a undesireable mess coming out the back end. Use regular refill cartridges and you will not be disappointed with this gun.

Aside from cost considerations, why would you want to do that? If there is one thing I've learned, it is always better to go big when it comes to HDs. 1 T might seem like a lot now, but I bet you'd be suprised how fast you fill it up. I'm wondering if there is a 3rd party alternative that costs less...

I guess you can get normal plastic syringes at a local pharmacy in case you do not get all 5 or 6 needed. Apparently you can clean them using some alcohol according to other reviewers in case you do not want to dispose them after using.

Yes, this is a great system without question you should buy the kit. If you see the kits going for $30 buy it. Costco sometimes has sales on the the kits. See keep an eye out.
