How often do you change your pin???

[Off Road]

Seems some say that by bumping the pin on the bottom of the vial or by even inserting it (through the rubber/plastic stopper) this can severly dull the pin, so to avoid a "dull" needle, to change it before doing the injection.
Any thoughts? Experiences?

I draw with 18g and shoot with 25g
im not sure how much the tip dulls when passing through rubber stopper, however, it takes forever to draw out with a 25/23g. Its a win win with 18g.

Thanks for your reply. Right now, I've got 22x1.5 so I'll try that first, but will definately p/u some 18's. Using Deca and heard that with the oil, a 22 will work out well. Can I go smaller without it taking forever to inject?

I usually draw and shoot with the same pin. I use 23g pins, and it never really seems to dull them too much.

I draw with a 20g and shoot with a 25g. To me those 23g look like harpoons, lol. I always warm up the syringe under the faucet to make it easier to push through the 25g. It doesn't take forever at all.

The only problems I ever had with the 25g was for some generic winny.

Draw with 20g and shoot with 23g glutes and 25g quads and delts. I also run the syringe under hot water.

well I take the pin I used from my last injection, sterilize it in alcohol and use it to draw. Then I swap it with the new pin and discard the one used once to shoot and once to draw. The I repeat. This seems to work well. I use 18g to draw from amps, but it seems to fuck up the stoppers to much. I use 23g for drawing from an bottle and for injection. Gonna try 25s to see how those feel.

It is always a great idea to switch needles after drawing from a vial, they are so cheap, it's not worth the risk to re-use. Anyone who re-uses the same needle needs to seriously revaluate their priorities in life.

Have a look at this thread, thee are some pictures that will steer you the right way...... http://www.steroidology.com/forum/s...perpage=25&highlight=dull needle&pagenumber=2

You have been hanging around fantom too long, i always shoot glutes with a 23. I use a 25g for everthing else, and i draw with a 18g.

the rubber stopper on the vial severly dulls the pin... BUT i never have seen a doctor in my life change the pins.. they draw and shoot.. go figure ?

 

[Spartie]

I draw with a 20 and shoot with a 25...always.

Same here. Just like doc does when I need a shot. Now, if I am using more than one substance in the same pin, Ill swap out after drawing from two bottles.

 

[performance_issues]

draw with a 22 or 20 and shoot with a 23

i always switch out the pin no matter what

When you're shooting yourself, you CARE whether or not it hurts. Dunno if the same can be said about a Dr. or nurse...

mine does , its different with a doctor , there on a time constraint and usually busy and besides that most people at a doc are getting a flu shot or antibiotics which doesnt happen often so there isnt the concern for scar tissue that we face since we inject so much more than most people

I do the same.Always want a fresh clean sharp pin going in.Im a real nut about about safety and cleanliness.Infections scare me.

The only problems I ever had with the 25g was for some generic Winstrol (winny).

same thing here, everything other than a 25 looks like nail to me, the hot water trick works great too

If your at the doctors office can you request to shoot yourself with whatever they are going to give you?

 

[Mudge]

Draw 20, shoot 25 1" or 5/8" depending where it goes.

Thanks for all the replies!
So I'm off to the pharmacy to get me some 20's and some 25's. I'll try the faucet trick and see what happens!
