    needles

    I know you are supposed to replace the needle after you draw in the test, but do you replace the syringe after each injection?

    hope this isnt a stupid question...

    I get the syringes in boxes of 100 with a 22ga needle for drawing, and get boxes of 100 25ga needles for the shots, then you are set for a while.

    You dont necessarily NEED a different size for drawing. It's just more convenient to draw quicker. I draw with a 25ga all the time. It just takes a really long time, lol.

    You can draw and shoot or draw change and shoot. Ive done it both ways. it seems like after you draw the needle is slightly blunted though so Im swiching out more now.

    there is no reason to risk an abcess or deal with the extra pain when pins and syringes are so cheap. Its less than what a protein shake cost at the gym for a hundred

    Dude I did a cycle in Iraq and I could only get my hands on 19g needles.

    Talk about drawing out quick and injecting quick.
