    Anything wrong with storing gear in syringe?

    Was thinking of storing the gear in 12 seperate syringes. Anything wrong with this idea? I assume its just as sterile as keeping it in the bottle, no?

    Storing/hiding it would be easier, not to mention a tad bit quicker.

    Any of you do this?

    You can do it for several months. But I had some that was in the syringe for a LONG time-maybe a year. The black rubber plungers stuck to the wall inside the syringe.
    But loading up for a "normal" cycle is no prob.

    Not that it really matters but it saves u some pins instead of using a new one to draw out of every injection.

    Did someone say they stored their gear for a YEAR in a syringe?!?! I dunno what gear you guys have been using, but I wouldn't load anymore than 2 weeks worth of injections. Any longer than that, and the rubber stopper begins to dissolve, and you wouldn't want to be shooting rubber flakes into your muscles...

    I would have issues about sterility as soon as I take it outta that plastic "thingy" I concider it starting to get contaminated so I try to do injects as soon as possible... I guess im just paranoid!

    I prepare a week of prop shots at one time. If I were shooting 1x/EW, I don't see much of a point in doing this.

    Unless you touch it with your hands, or against something else, there shouldnt be any reason it wouldnt be sterile

    i dig the process of drawing, then shooting. I love it and would never pre-load my pins... it just wouldnt seem right.

    Yeah I put my gear in syringes. It is easy to transport and when you need to shoot it just get and poke away.

    bump

    I know you should store the syringes some place cooled.. Can you store them in room temperature (18-24 C') if it's for only seven days..?
