have everything i need to make my spore syringe except distilled water , may i just use boiled water to flush the syringe of any contams twice and then the third time suck up water and let it cool then proceed with the steps of making a syringe?
Also is ok to just use a BIC lighter to sterilize the needle?
thanks for your help

Boiling tap water is fine. BIC will work, but its a huge PITA. I have a propane torch, works awesome.

Yes this method works, its how it have done in the past. Boil a pot of water and let it keep boiling. Suck up the water. Let syringe sit a few minutes. empty and repeat. On last time keep water in syringe, flame needle red hot and put the needle cap on let cool.
Regular lights are a bit of a pin to flame sterilise needles, it takes a bit to get it red hot. If yoiu can get one that gives a blue flame those work great.
I have a gas soldering iron which has a blo torch attachment which works great for flaming a needle red hot.

Make a ghetto alcohol lamp to flame things with. Take a jar of baby food, drill a single hole in the lid, 1/4" or so, pull a cotton ball up through the hole. Next, fill with 91% iso alcohol and put the lid on it. Shazam. Cheap, easy, and holds the right amount of alcohol, and with the higher alcohol percentage, you'll enjoy a clean flame that won't leave soot on your tools.

Yeah it can "pop" if you don't get the lid on tight before you light it. I had one scare before but nothing serious, just shocked me how the lid ejected itself.

Ok so i went ahead and filled all four of my syringes tonight. i boiled a pot of water , there was to much air getting into the syringe when i kept it boiling so i turn the flame off and let the bubbles die down. then i flushed it twice , although i didn't let it sit in the chamber for a couple of minuets when flushing (only a about 15 seconds). Then i sucked water up on the third time and heat the needle till it was red hot with a stove lighter and rubbed it on a disinfectant wipe to cool it down then i just capped it and put it in a wiped down Tupperware container.
i proceeded these steps with all 4 syringes bringing the water to a boil first every time, do you think that will be good enough?
cheers

making the alcohol burner is cheap, easy and works great..
except instead of using a cotton ball i recommend just taking an old shoe string and cut it, and pull through the hole...it absorbs the alcohol well and burns nice and even..you wont have to worry about replacing the cotton doing it this way.

theres a dude that swears the water that comes out of his tap is sterile.
and continues to say he's been making spore syringes for years just by sticking his needle in the middle of a flowing faucet.
to do it right do this http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/12098357#12098357

lol thats a bit far fetched but i honestly have never flamed one needle in my whole life ... just a good swipe with some isopropyl and in it goes ... you dont see nurses in the er busting out their bic before sticking someone ... just always seemed like overkill to me ...

nurses use pre-sterilized needles once.
i reuse my needles. they must be flamed then.

that's because they needles come sterile in packaging, and they throw them out after each use. But if the alcohol wipe has been working for you, keep at it! 
on the alcohol lamp, I'm fairly certain you want one hole for the rope/string and one more for a breather. I think this is what prevents the popping/explosions. Also, keep the jar/container only 3/4 full. I used a half-pint for mine, and it works great!

i resused mine as well , not a lot as needles are so inexpensive but yeah bout %20 of the time ... maybe ive just gotten lucky ... that or im just extra thorough when i sterilize them ... then again every contamination ive ever gotten may have been a direct result from it lol

Spend a few bucks for lamp & denatured alcohol. Less than $20.00 for both.
