Injection Question

[teutonic]

I'll be injecting the EQL tren/prop combo. Most likely 1/2cc ED. I'll be using 25Gx1" for all injections except the ass(23Gx1 1/2").

My question is will it be ok to inject with the same needle that I used to load the syringe with? I'm afraid that I'll lose some juice that might be left in the needle if I switch needles since also I'll only be using 1/2cc.

OR should I draw it up with an 18G x1 1/2" needle and then switch to a 25G x 1" needle to shoot?

Draw with the 18g, then pull some air into the dart when done drawing, that will suck up the last bit of juice in the pin.

Then use a new pin for injecting, always.

Yup, what he said.. Cept I'd use a 20ga to draw... 18ga tends yo screw up your rubber stopper from punching such a large hole.

i draw with one and shoot with another

Same here, because I don't wipe the site with alcohol.

why is that, your skin has germs.

i swipe my vials and skin everytime i draw and shoot, i use the same pin for both.

this is from my friendz brother, who is a doctor. he said alcohol helpz prevent bacteria, infection, etc. but 99.9% if the time even without it, your not gonna have problemz. but itz that 1 time where it could make the difference.

as for using the same pin, the sharper the pin, the less pain ill feel. so i use 1 to draw, and 1 to poke. i will use the same pin to draw for 2 weekz though

I use an 18 to draw with, and another needle to shoot. I also change both needles everytime just for safty reasons, why risk anything. They're so dirt cheap it's not really wasting them.

I think I'm going to do what StoneColdNTO said. That after I pull a 1/2cc out I'll pull back a little more to make sure I get any juice that was left in the needle. And then switch needles.

My only problem is like Got Gear said is that I'll be punching to big of a hole if I use a 18G x1 1/2" needle to draw. I'll be using 1 bottle of the tren/prop combo for 8 weeks. That's like 60 punctures into the rubber stopper. That's a lot.

Do you think it will be ok or should I use a 23Gx1 1/2" needle to draw? Or should I just order a different size needle?

This is what I have now:

3cc syringe with 25Gx1"

3cc syringe with 23Gx1 1/2"

18G x1 1/2" needle

I never had a problem with juice coming out of the stopper and I use 18's. Just don't poke a hole directly next to each other to create a bigger hole, spread em out each time you'll be fine. If you use a 23ga, it will be difficult to draw the juice up, it's not fun and frustrating sometimes.

problem being if you are using a 50cc jug. eventually you will catch a spot the may open up
