Switching needles?

[Iron-56]

I ran out of needles today so I decided I would inject my gear with the same needle I use to draw from the vial. I injected into my quads and the injection was incredibly smooth. I have always switched needles before injecting and wanted to know if it is safe to use the same needle.

It's safe to use the same one. Not ideal for me. I can certainly feel a difference with a new pin.

Yes you will be fine

What size needles do you use?

[cj220]

Take a magnifying glass and look at the tip of a needle after pushing thru the rubber stopper.(and prolly hitting the bottom of the vial)..U will notice the point isn't straight but its bent...That's why they say single use only..That's how scar tissue starts...As for reusing u will be fine..simply put it back in the cap and spend 10$ on sum new ****

[clarky.]

That's fine but it may be a little sorer piercing the skin

Simple science. The more the point is used the more dull it gets.
So what do ya think. hmmm. A dull point might hurt more...simple science.
If it's dull it will tear more tissue... what do ya think now...it might hurt more...
The more used the more ..what do ya think now.

Using it more than once it can collect bacteria so it requires sterilization. So you do that and you are G2G.!!
Now sterile it with alcohol and don't get all the alcohol off and dry, hmm what do you think alcohol will do to you... hmmm BURN LIKE HOLLY SH!T.....

But you will be fine.
Now back to rocket science !...Ya think ...crazy mike

I have read several of your posts today and have decided you have no fkn clue what you are talking about!

You need a microscope to see damage that small, I use 1.5" and cant hit the bottom of the vial, scar tissue is mainly caused by constant injections to the same site.

Sorry to add but I went back over some of the threads from cj220 and found the same. ...cm

Thanks for the replies. I understand that the needle will not be as sharp but when it comes to sterility, is it ok?

Yes, as mentioned above, it's fine.

Personally I prefer to draw with a 22 and dart with a 25.... but using same dart to dart and draw isnt going to be a cause for concern...

Never use the same pin. Too affordable,,readily available and cheap. Plus they dull quickly.

I've never switched needles from draw to inject. Doesn't seem necessary to me. I use either 22 or 23g

I never used to. I used 25G for everything. I had times after drawing from multiple vials that I felt like I was shoving an unsharpened pencil in myself.

Now that I started switching after drawing...I will never go back.
