18g needle and bacteria!

[Lift Chief]

If you draw up your oil based gear from a 10ml vial with an 18g needle will it make a hole so large that bacteria is more apt to get into the vial? I used a 23g but it was a real hassle to draw up for some reason... and i know you arent supposed to heat the whole amp so i dont see anything else i could do. I can get 18g needles though so what do you guys think?

Well being that the stoppers are made from rubber and not plastic, once you puncture it and draw the needle back out the hole doesn't remain open, it closes back up.

I'm doing EQ and test enanthate. Yeah i didnt think there would be a prob with bacteria but someone told me there might be. Rather be safe than sorry as the old cliche goes.

use a 20g.

Would an 18g be alright to draw though? I don't have 20s readily available.
