using the same needle tip
Is it ok to use the same needle tip to fill your syringe with over and over? As long as you aren't using it to shoot.
I do this so the needle I use to shoot with isn't dull.

You could that, but I would be more concerned about having the "filling" needle in contact with the air for too long - all sorts of bacteria & shit floating around.

Ok, I will just use a new needle. The thing is I just got a whole box of 23 gauge 1 inch and I will have a lot of extra tubes laying around, that I suppose will be no good because they will be exposed to air as well.

The needle I would draw with would not be used to stick myself.

Just use a new needle everytime you draw bro... they are so cheap there is no reason not to- especially when it's your health we're talking about.

You soak up rubbing alcohol into your needles? Ive heard of rubbing down the injection site and vial tops but soaking it up into the needle before hand ???

People do some pretty scarey shit out there with needles. I mean just cause I use the same needle for shooting up crack as I do with my AAS it is different. Its the whole vein no vein thing. I gotta remember which one is not supposed to go up in a vein. It gets so confusing. I think I am gonna invent a NEEDLE RESHARPENING KIT for those whom have grown fond of their needle.

You're taking a risk by using the same needle. Even if you soak it in alcohol, it may cause problems. Unless you make an effort to pull the alcohol into the needle and to clear it out thoroughly, there are chances that you may eventually contaminate your vial of AS.
There are times to be cheap, and there are times to spend money. This is one of the times you should spend money. Needles do not cost much at all.
