I may have asked this before but it’s been a while since I posted anything !

It will be more painful when pinning because the needle will be duller.
Plus the whole process takes a lot less time if you draw with a larger gage (22-18) and pin with a smaller gage (25-26).
Personally I can't make sense of drawing and pinning with the same needle because a box of 100 brand name needles costs 6 or 7 dollars.
How do you have the patience to pin with a 25 guage... 23 is as slow as I can handle itQuote:

Only time I do this is with my hcg shots twice a week because I use insulin needles (29g 1/2"). When pinning my gear I use 23g 1" and ALWAYS draw with one syringe and then swap to a fresh needle. No need to be lazy here to avoid pip
I draw and inject with the same 23ga needle. I use to swap to a fresh needle, but it doesn't make that much difference to me
I use an 18g to draw and a 25g 1 inch for my quads. Definately switching 23g next go around
When using gear, I concur, maintains sterility too.Quote:

No problem using the same needle to draw/pin. I swap needles. It's just more comfortable for me.
Needles are cheap, Like SG said its more comfortable with a new one.
Whoa, that imagery has a VERY high pucker factor. LOLQuote:

So that's what I used for a little while, them fuckers hurt! Your skin would press in a couple inches before the needle would penetrate. You pretty much have to put a bandaid over the hole when doneQuote:

I draw and pin with the same needle and havent had an issue. I suck it in with a 25x5/8 then jam it into my calf and its pretty smooth. Doesnt take that long either. I heat the oil up by running some hot water over the vial. Shit ive done it cold too, doesnt seem to matter. My insulin pins are 1 peice so the needle cant even be swapped when im shooting hcg.
Why be cheap for PENNIES and create more scar tissue which affects your BODY for life.......

I'm like a delicate flower and fragile that's why I use a new needle every time
