I've heard it's better to switch needles after you have withdrawn your oils into the syringe, because it gets dull.
Do you guys agree with this? Or do u find no difference in how smooth pinning is ?

Yes it is best.

Yes, switch them. The rubber stopper dulls the needle quite a bit.
Thanks man , if that picture doesnt convince someone , nothing will.. by the way is there a term for what its called when u switch out needles ?
That's insane. By the 6th use that looks unusableQuote:

No set term. Switching or changing needles, pins, tips, etc
i switch due to changing gauges (from 18 to.... XX)
Same here.Quote:

Doesn't a 22g hurt like hell? I ask because I know nothing about needles
just been doing it all with 25 g, but i should buy some larger ones for drawing, would be faster.
I find 18g a little big to draw because it can damage the rubber stopper sometimes and allow it to leak. I like to draw with a 21g.
I switch. 20g to draw and 23 to shoot.
18 to draw, 25 to pin. Does anyone use the same 18g to draw more than once?
Yup. I'll use the same 18 a few times but make sure and sterilize it before each use.Quote:

18 to draw 23-25 to pin. change em up, it's cheap and so much easier.
