This is not recommended. The rubber stopper can dissolve into your oil. If you can't bring everything with you just skip pinning for the week. With Test E you will be fine. It is a long ester.

I think it would be okay that's how I load up my stuff that way I just have to take the cap off and shoot it and it helps me know how much I have left I doubt it will dissolve some medicine is actually already loaded in needles so I don't see why not just be careful bring that on a airplane

Not all medicine is the same. I've seen hydrochloric acid stored in plastic jugs; and I've seen milk stored in plastic jugs - one of the two is a bad idea to drink.
Unless you're lactose intolerant, but my point stands.
It's the solvent used in hormone oil carriers that can dissolve the stoppers in a syringe btw.
I'm Not sure if Enanthate is different than Cypionate, as far as what's in the oil. When I first started trt, my Dr.'s pharmacy provided me with 4 weeks of preloaded syringes of Cypionate. I had no problems for those 4 weeks. And for the last two years, I've been loading 2 syringes at a time. I inject every 3.5 days. Haven't had any problems whatsoever.
Or if you're worried, just bring the vial, and load the syringes as needed.

I always preload my syringes for a few months ahead since I have a family and don't want to be pulling out bottles of gear from my safe when anyone else is home. I've been doing this for 15 years and there is no problem at all. I've taken them on vacation, whatever. Nothing is going to dissolve. Not to be disrespectful but anyone who disagrees is simply wrong and is not speaking from experience.

There is such a thing as vicarious learning. For example, I don't have to actually stick my hand in the fire to know it will hurt.
I meant no disrespect as I said in my post, brother. I agree that you don't have to have done something to give advice on it. However, sometimes what makes sense isn't reality, such as in this case.
Just the other day when I was brewing I pulled out an old bottle of ethyl oleate (sp?) that had been stashed away for over a year and apparently I either wasn't thinking when I put it away last or it shifted in storage. Anyway, the liquid had been in contact with the rubber stopper which itself had apparently begun to dissolve. It was soft and almost liquid all the way through. Some people use a lot of EO in their home brews so I won't dispute that it is possible that AS solutions could begin to dissolve the rubber in syringes. However, I'm confident that it isn't a real concern and that preloading syringes (as I've been doing for years without incident) is ok.

It depends on the type of syringe too. Polystyrene syringes can be dissolved by benzyl alcohol - which is found in most brews.

its very risky in my opinion and i would not ever do that.. ever... sneak bottle or abort cycle IMO

not just that but its sterility can be comprimised and the loger you have it the more time bacteria has to grow.. its just risky IMO, on top of possible rubber issue...
