Default siphoning

is there a better way to siphon besides with your mouth because it seems stuplid dangerous. unless someone has some hints regarding it.

swix saw a fish tank gravel cleaner which will siphon or maybe he should go to a wine and beer making place.

any suggestions

also is he wants to know if he can just tape balloon directly on flask or does he really need a stopper.

thanks much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well u can make a homemade shit but i dont think thats wut ur looking for.

ez way is to get one of those handheld vacum cleaners and hook it up to a tube. u want one with a lot of suction so that shark vacume (look at K mart they should be pretty cheap and they are Uber portable) its strong as hell.

If you're siphoning something out after a rxn, then yes, that is stupidly dangerous. Jesus! Go buy a turkey baster, or a plastic syringe and some aquarium tubing or something!
