    Replacing Needles on syringes Q

    Was reading the Injection process on the homepage and saw that it said to replace the needle from the syringe... do most of you do this or do you just use the same needle?

    I use the same needle for drawing and shooting, then i discard the needle and syringe. Sometimes i may change the needle if i dropped it or felt the need be. i hope you dont mean using the same syring and needle through the whole cycle???

    no bro, don't remove the rubber stopper. clean the top of the rubber with rubbin alcohol, stick the needle thru the stopper and draw up what you need. If you need a cc of oil, then draw up a cc of air and shoot into vial. once you have your cc, your ready to inject. its up to you if you wanna change the needle. i did last cycle cus i was a p*ssy and didnt want to shoot 23g :-) next cycle ill man up. And no infections here bro.

    sorry that sounded like a second grader Draw up a ml of air and shoot that ml of air into the bottle. Next draw up a ml of oil (guessing its 250mg per ml and your doing 250mg every 3.5 days) Once you have your ml of oil you are good to shoot. The needle will be a little dull but nothing unbearable. The reason this is done is because it will create a vaccuum effect if you do not shoot the 1ml of air into the vial, you need to replace the oil with the air. get it? otherwise drawing up oil would take forever. MAke sense now? If not im sorry i cant type this out, im gettin tired and im sick.....oh yeah and 1CC=1Ml

    I Agree With Legobricks... And He Means Before You Pull The Juice Into The Needle Put 1cc Of Air Into The Vial.... It Helps Push The Juice Into The Syringe...

    I used the same 23g to draw and shoot. Until recent man I didn't know what I was missing, now I buy the needles with 22g to draw and replace with 25 to shoot. I was so happy with the difference I started a thread about it last week.

    I draw and shoot with the same pin. I didn't for the first half of the cycle, but then I was running low so I used the same pin. No difference. It feels exactly the same. I draw and shoot using a 25g pin. I don't know why you would use a bigger needle when this works absolutely fine. Also, does the doctor switch out the pin after filling the syringe? No, he sticks it right in your arm and you are fine.

    Do you mean the tip of the syringe is longer than the cavity of the needle?

    That is normal. You fill it with the substance you are injecting instead of air.

    alrighty then...you should always turn the syringe pin side up and purge all air before injecting.
