Re using needles

[panntastic]

I didn't want to post this in the Q&A because its not a question.
But here's a photo why needles shouldn't be re-used

[noon]

Lol ouch.!!
I have never reused for other reasons but god dam I did not know that happened

[Lunk1]

I spent several cycles using the same 25G that I drew with to inject. After switching tips and feeling the difference...never again

[panntastic]

I knew they were flimsy but this proves it

Like jabbing with fishing hook

I've only re-pinned once and it cost me a nice big infection. I change needles every time it goes into a vial, or if it goes into my arse.

I use a fresh needle to draw, then switch it out with a fresh needle to inject every time. I just don't understand the want to re-use considering the ultra low cost of needles.

That picture is exaggerated, but either way, I always change needles. They're too cheap not to! Dull needles are crap.

[Times Roman]

sometimes I'll reuse the same 18ga tip if using multiple syringes in the same sitting. I wont reuse the same needle once I've pinned with it

This is how it should be done.

Yes when it comes to pinning in your body, always use a fresh clean sharp needle each and every time, and your body will thank you for it.

This is how it should be done.

X2 on that....

I did this too last cycle, but since I'm drawing from 2 vials this cycle I decided to switch and it goes in so much smoother now.
