Over 60% of US adults used products containing cannabidiol (CBD) in the past year. The rapidly growing market of CBD gummies, lotions, and vapes is valued at $18 billion. This number is expected to triple by 2032.
Customers seek CBD products to help with everything from anxiety to pain and insomnia. Given such high stakes, CBD manufacturers must focus on building a brand known for impeccable quality standards—a goal only possible when using the right tools.
Repeater syringes deliver multiple doses from a single product draw, making them the ideal syringe type for CBD manufacturers. Repeater syringes are durable, precise, and specially designed to handle the demands of high-viscosity oils without clogging or malfunctioning. They reduce product waste and promote an efficient manufacturing process.
Here’s why CBD manufacturers can rely on repeater syringes to deliver reliable results that their customers can trust.
Not all CBD oils and extracts have consistent concentrations of CBD. Even products from the same manufacturer might vary in potency due to differences in the extraction process or plant material. Over time, CBD can degrade if exposed to heat, light, or air. This degradation can reduce potency, making it hard to know whether the same dose is still effective after a certain period.
CBD is fat-soluble, so its absorption varies depending on how it is consumed (e.g., sublingually, ingested, or topically). In addition, edibles, oral tinctures, inhaled products, and topicals have significant variances in formulation viscosity, bioavailability, and dosing requirements.
These factors affect the choice of syringes, as thicker formulations like CBD oils and topicals require syringes that can handle high-viscosity substances. However, thinner vape liquids need syringes with fine control for accurate dosing. Oral products often involve larger doses due to lower bioavailability, whereas inhalation methods require smaller, precise doses due to higher absorption rates.
The administration method affects how much CBD enters the bloodstream, making it hard to predict the effective dose. Unlike prescription medications, there is no universally accepted dosing standard for CBD. The appropriate dose depends on many factors, including the individual's health condition, the type of extract (full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, isolate), and the form of CBD.
Finally, because CBD can have different effects at different doses, finding the optimal therapeutic dose often requires trial and error. This is particularly challenging for new users or those with specific medical conditions.
Repeater syringes are best for procedures requiring multiple precise doses, especially small doses. Users can adjust the dose amount and repeat injections to use “every last drop” in the syringe.
Repeater syringes are designed with precision mechanisms to dispense consistent volumes of liquid while minimizing wasted product or residual product left in the syringe after dispensing. This design feature is crucial for CBD applications because it ensures accurate dosing. Minimizing waste also supports cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
Repeater syringes are efficient in high-volume production because they deliver repeatable doses quickly and with minimal manual effort. With adjustable dose settings, users can easily switch between different volumes without changing equipment. Repeater syringes lower production time and costs without compromising accuracy.
CBD formulations can range from thick oils and tinctures to thinner vape liquids. Repeater syringes are designed with adjustable mechanisms and high-quality materials to facilitate the smooth flow of low- and high-viscosity substances without clogging. As a result, CBD manufacturers can use the same syringe across a range of products, ensuring consistent dosing and reducing the need for multiple dispensing tools.
CBD products contain solvent-like chemicals, including terpenes, like D-limonene. These compounds aren’t compatible with the rubber gaskets and silicone oil often used to make plastic syringes. Instead, more compatible repeater syringes can help avoid compromising CBD products and causing unwanted variation between batches.
Repeater syringes make it easy to set and switch between different dose volumes quickly without needing to change syringes or equipment. This feature is particularly important for CBD applications, as it accommodates a variety of products with differing potency requirements. The adjustable dosages of repeater syringes help manufacturers achieve accurate dosing for each formulation.
Repeater syringes have comfortable grips, balanced weight distribution, and intuitive controls to enhance user comfort and reduce strain during prolonged use. Repeater syringes often have contours and materials that fit naturally in the hand, ensuring a secure grip that minimizes slippage and provides better control. This ergonomic design is crucial in high-volume CBD production.
Truth Brand glass syringes are great for CBD applications because, in addition to checking the boxes above, they’re also heat resistant. Air-Tite has them in Luer Lock and Luer Slip varieties. The NORM-JECT is another option because although it is made of plastic and not glass, it is all plastic, meaning it doesn’t have a rubber gasket or silicone oil.
Other popular repeater syringes include the Eco-Matic and Uni-Matic. They are well-suited for CBD oils and extracts, which are often sticky and thick. The Eco-Matic and Uni-Matic allow users to dispense multiple, uniform doses that are precise. As a result, each dose contains the exact amount of CBD advertised.
These syringes are designed to minimize the amount of product left in the syringe (dead space) after dispensing, ensuring that manufacturers can get the most out of every batch of CBD oil. Both models are reusable, reducing the need for frequent replacement, lowering long-term costs, and promoting sustainability. Their durable construction ensures they can withstand frequent use for large-scale CBD production.
The Eco-Matic and Uni-Matic syringes are designed for ease of use, with features that make them simple to refill and clean, speeding up production processes and reducing downtime. Their ergonomic designs also make them comfortable for operators, improving workflow efficiency.
Ultimately, the choice of repeater syringe depends on the specific CBD application. High-viscosity products like oils and topicals are best handled by syringes like the Uni-Matic, designed to manage thick substances and deliver consistent dosing. For low-viscosity vape liquids or smaller dose requirements, syringes like the Eco-Matic offer fine control and precision. Oral tinctures and edibles require flexibility in dosing. This flexibility is achieved with adjustable syringes that can handle a variety of viscosities and dose sizes.
