    losing juice/too big needle

    I have 22 gauge/ w 3 cc syringe. And I notice after the shot theres a good amount of oil in the tip of the syringe and in the needle. I'm estimating its about .1 ml wasted so when I measure it out I add an extra .1 ml to get the proper dose. Does anyone else do this??????

    Good idea. 22 gauge is a pretty big pin also.

    i hate the idea of having air in my needle.. I'm gonna try using B12 and since its a water base it should rise to the top so this way i'll get all my gear and only miss .1ml of b12 which i could care less about.. hope that helps

    Ps. I didn't make this up i've heard of other guys doing it too.. just hold your needle for a few seconds so all the b12 floats to the top then do the deed. sounds reasonable to me and b12 is like 6bucks for 100ml so its not like its a big waste

    Yeh I usually waste 0.1ml as well and draw up the extra to compensate.
    I tried drawing air in but that didn't really work too well for some reason. And it only works when your injecting into something like quads because the syringe has to be upright, for delts it wouldn't work.
