    i use 1 pin to draw from 4 vials and then i switch that pin for fresh ones before injecting.. i saw pictures of how dull a needle gets after just drawing.. made me switch and i notice a big differnce.

    yeah i think mesomorphyl posted them.. it looked ragged even though it was a microscopic pic of pins being used 1x and 2,3, and 4 times. i used to use the same pin 2x my 1st cycle and drew with it. You live and learn..

    when i was starting out back in the day i used the same pin an entire summer. when i stuck the skin and muscle would indent 1-1.5 inches before the pin would enter teh skin. looking back i have no clue why nothing really bad happened. i hadn't even heard of alcohol swabs yet!

    Agreed!!!!!
    The same thing is true with me. Once you see what a needle looks like after it has been drawn, you wouldn't ever want to inject with that needle again.

    its really not that much duller after one shot, it looks kinda dulled but they also switched the angle of the pic!

    I don't switch needles. Next time you go to the doctors office, see if he does it...I'm betting he doesn't...

    what about contamination? is it possible for dirt on the vial to then be tranferred into your muscle tissue?

    I usually use one pin to preload three or four syringes at once, but always use a clean needle to inject with....a few days worth....u guys think thats ok, or am I just asking for an infection?

    No need to switch, ive been cool. Only if u mess up and touch something that may be containing bacteria like ur shirt or the counter. I also have never bothered to use alchohol actually.

    I draw/stick with the same pin. No harm done. I swear one of these days I am going to post my own pictures of 'used' needles to discredit that bogus picture floating around..besides, thats not a picture of sticking a rubber vial.
