Stopper floaties

**1-Cent** · 07-21-2004, 01:52 PM

A couple small pieces of the stopper came off and are now floating around in my test, I've managed to go around them visible ones and pre-load the rest of the vial to save myself the trouble later, but is there any danger if a tiny piece that I missed was injected? I used a pad on the stopper first, can I still risk infection?

yes..

no biggie.. if a piece gets injected, the body/muscle will see it as a foreign object.. and responde.. no biggie.............

Get some syringe filters bro...no need at all to risk an infection.I would never want to inject something foriegn like that in my system.That has infection written all over it.

syringe filters?? is that like a sky hook or a wire stretcher or is there really such an item?

yeah i have 1/8 vial left of 500mg EQ I stopped using because i notice a few floaters in there (**** 18 gauge pins I use to suck out the AS! Suckes out the gear in seconds but I guess this is the negative of it).

Luckily this is a clear vial so I can see them really easy, or I would have maybe never know.

But my Test is in a brwon vial which I cant see through too well so I am kinda worried theres floaters in there too...now I have to load up and then really check out the syringe before injecting)

Bump for how I can best filter that EQ and maybe the test as well...

any good sites for these syringe filters before I do my own searching-

i hope the filters are sterile lol, or theres a new issue to worry about the AS flowing through unsterile filters!

thx

Of course there is.I have about 50 of them.At the top of the pin,there is a small filter attached.You attach that to the syringe barrel and draw up.The ones I have are made by Braun medical co.

Sounds like a good investment to me. I'll look for some.

thx

This is what they look like

call me a pussy but i don't think i would ever inject anything coming from an ampule without a filter needle or if the vial had something floating in it. definitely look into getting some.

just remember to switch the needle before injecting yourself.

**1-Cent** · 07-22-2004, 12:44 AM

Yeah I always switch needles, I use an 18 to draw and I'll never do that again, tears the stopper to ****. Is a 21 any better?

**BBBB83** · 07-22-2004, 07:12 AM

ive had that problem but i noticed the18 gauge can draw it into the vile but it is too big to come out of a 23g so it ends up just staying in the needle

I use a 22g x 1" for drawing. They are pretty easy on the stoppers.

**sp9** · 07-22-2004, 07:55 AM

My biggest fear. Injecting a piece of rubber 1 inch below my skin and seeing what develops. I draw with a 20g, the only time I really tear up the rubber is if I am using a 50ml bottle just from the repeated piercings.
