Syringe/needle brands?

[SneakerSeven]

Shopping around for syringes and needles, I notice some different brands... do any of them make any difference? Any better than any others, or any to stay away from?

Also, when you get the precombined syringe and needle sets, I assume you can replace the needles on those too?

I use Terumo brand pins, and they are great. I've also used BD brand, just as good.
I know you can swap needles on both of those, I bought 25 gauge, 1 inch pins with syringes, and separate 20 guage pins for withdrawing gear.
hope that helps

not much of a difference really, I usually use BD tho

does it matter what gauge needle i buy.. i know a pharmacy that sells needles but only 10 a visit... and i've bought 25 gauge 1 inch needles for fina and prop.. is that ok or should i haev gone lower to 23 or something???

Ok thanks, that's what I wanted to know... those are two out of three that I'm seeing frequently.

Yeah I think those two are the bigest brands out there.. I dont think that you can go wrong buying needles.

i used bd for my first cycle..they were fine, i had no problems with them, but for my next cycle(that im starting in about a month) i ordered them off of the internet and ive got a whole gang of terumo

This is interesting - I wonder if anyone has ever actually gotten a bad batch of pins?! I mean as long as they dont leak, hold a needle and have a plunger - should all be the same eh?

As far as pin size mattering - I'd say that's a big yes! 25g might be a little too small (unless ya enjoy spending 3-5mins slowly pushing). I usually stick with 23g or 22g and use 18g to pull the AS outta the vial.

hey bro i think you'll be fine with the 25g esp since the eod or ed injections you might like the 25g better than a big one. i feel the slower i put it in the less sore i am after. (that didn't sound so good but you guys know what i mean)

i did a fina cycle with all 25g pins
