    Needle question

    Just wondering if it matters what size the needle is when you draw? I have 23 gauge 1.5 and I have 25 gauge 1. Are these okay to draw with?

    I draw with a 18.

    I once ran out of 18g needles so I would draw my test e with a 23 gauge and that took ages.

    If you are patient then I dont see why it would be an issue.

    I prefer using 23 gauge to draw out of a 10ml vial anyways. And 18g for everything else 2ml vials and amps

    The vets can chime in.

    I just didnt like poking holes constantly with a 18g in a vial. Just a personal thing.

    A 20g works fine for me to draw, and 23g to inject.

    I draw and inject with a 23.

    doesn't take that long to draw with.

    How much does it matter to switch the needle after drawing when using amps?

    so basically 23 would get the job done with a 5ml bottle and then just switch to a new 23 after drawing?

    from my expeirence 23g works the best for rubber stopper vials. it draws decently and keeps the stopper indecent shape
