That plastic tip that comes with the Alk kit is garbage, period. An insulin syringe is the way to go.

So my question is can you use the syringe without the tip and just pull 1ml or does that throw off the results by using too much reagent?

Discard the tip and the syringe that comes with it and just use an insulin syringe, which you can get at Shopper's Drug Mart. That way, you can measure exactly 1 ml. of reagent. It's very accurate. The other thing you can do is use a 10 ml. syringe with a point on it for your water sample. I can't imagine doing it any other way.
