We make a funnel out of foil lined paper and just make it the size needed to fit.

I have only done small batches. I put the tubes in a plastic container, and pour slowly and carefully. It has worked pretty well, cause anything I spill, I can scrap up and remelt.

As long as you want to make a bigger batch all at once, the lip balm trays are the way to go! And the source Sheri posted above is great, I have ordered stuff from them occasionally. If you want to stick with smaller batches, I have personally found that pipettes don't work well with thicker balm - and you shouldn't fill the tubes too hot or you can damage the twist up mechanism. I have gotten tiny funnels from Lotioncrafters that work well:

Use pipettes http://www.thesage.com/catalog/products/Transfer-Pipettes-%28droppers%29-Large-and-Small.html and lip balm trays http://www.thesage.com/catalog/products/Lip-Balm-Filling-Tray.html
there is a tutorial here http://www.plastictom.com/HowToUse.html
hope that helps.
