Popping the top off vials

[cherrydrpepper]

I'd like to inject my 1 cc vitamin c and b12 together to see if the c is less painful this way.

Is it possible to pop the top off the vials and dip the needle tip in, thereby negating the need to do two sticks. I am trying to avoid this situation:



Personally I think I can feel any stick past 1 and find it harder to inject. I have tested this again and again. Maybe its all in my head but I don't think so and I do think putting it through the rubber damages the tip slightly.

Is there a way to pop the tops off the vials I don't know a lot about this part. I mean I understand the point of the tops is to promote sterility, but there must be a way around doing 2 sticks for loading.

You wouldnt wanna do that. tops are there so you can create a vacuum and also for sterility.

tops do dull the needle.

sol...preload syringes. load em all with the same tip and change the heads

What are you trying you save 5 cents? Is it worth it if you get an infection? Passing a needle through a rubber stopper will dull the tip. Search for it. This question has been asked a hundred times. Why would anyone ever want to pop the top off of a vial, get amp them.

I cut the vitamin c with b 12 and bacteriostatic water today. I swapped the needle out after I loaded the syringe. Worked great. Thanks for the advice.
