Not sure where, or if, you can buy just the straws, but how about using a small diameter piece of clear plastic tubing?

simple! go to any car wash and look in their trash cans for spray bottles and remove the tube from them. i got a bucket full of them now from 1/4,3/16 inch down!

acrylic tubing is what most are made of. Poly tubing is used and can be straightened out easily, most are to lazy and sell curved tubes. Pro gold produces the small 2 oz bottle and has the tube extruded in acrylic. He has to buy about 10,000 ft to get the size and price he uses.
