    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.

    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
