Drawing and Pinning with the same needle

[Third Tier]

Was just curious ... Is it a big deal if I draw and pin with the same needle???
I may have asked this before but it’s been a while since I posted anything !
Thanks in advance

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 it

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.

Unless you're as tough as Guitarzan (see his post).

No problem using the same needle to draw/pin. I swap needles. It's just more comfortable for me.

[diesel101]

Needles are cheap, Like SG said its more comfortable with a new one.

Try slicing open you leg with a box cutter all the way into muscle. Then squirt the steroid oil on to the exposed laceration of the muscle, then suture it up.

Whoa, that imagery has a VERY high pucker factor. LOL

That's not being tough, I had to inject with 18ga before! Back years ago, before I was a internet shopper, I pretty much had only one place to get syringes from in my little shit town. One time they asked what I was doing with them and I said injecting grease into sealed bearings. He said I know what you trying to do, you need 18ga! 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 done

I screwed up and ran short one time and had to goto walgreens for syringes. They asked what I was injecting and I used the grease in bearing excuse.

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 don't believe that. I have a microscope, I'm going to test myself

I would like to see if you can get photos.....

I will try. It's just hard to believe that pushing a needle through rubber and flesh a few times can cause the tip to bend back like that. I'm sure it dulls it though

[guitarzan]

And it's not about saving money, it's about convenience. After doing enough times, and not noticing any difference, it's just easier to use the same needle

[diesel101]

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