syringes

Never ordered Syringes before. I noticed that there are filters that you can get also. What are your recommendations? Thanks for the help

Filters are not necessary. They are mainly used when brewing your own gear. Some will use them when drawing from amps in fear of small shards of glass from breaking them. I personally have never used them for drawing from vials

Do you put anything on the needle before poking?

Never unless you want to increase your risk for serious infection. I answered this in your other thread.

You can hold the syringe needle up and press the plunger until a single drop comes out and slides down then needle to help with lubrication and an easier pin.

I never intentionally do this but when I do get a drop on the needle I really can't tell a difference.

Never touch the needle. EVER.

I once forgot to swab the stopper before drawing up. Cellulitis is a b****. Gotta be strict with your sterile technique bud.

Wow shitty luck. I usually swab my vials but there have been numerous times where I have forgotten and never had an isssue

Filter needles are used when you are drawing up solutions from glass ampules so that you don't inject a shard of glass into yourself. Not needed otherwise...
