Thread: what pin size to draw with?

  1. #1

    what pin size to draw with?

    i plan on using 25g 1" syringes on my quads...can i draw the juice from the amp with a 25g needle or should i use a 22 or 23 gauge needle then switch the needle to a 25g and shoot with that? is it easier to draw with a 22g then a 25g?

    18 to draw, and 22 to shoot, shooting with a 25 is a bitch, it takes so long to get the juice out.

    ok glad i got this covered...my friends were drawing with 22g from sust amps and said it was a bitch sometimes to draw...plus they reused the needle too...but they'll be happy when i tell them i got 100 18g needles...thanks for the help...i was hesitant about asking this cause i always thought u drew with the size of what u are shooting w/.

    18 gauge tear the rubber up on the vials........ you will end up with nice big holes where some of the rubber will be in the vial or the oil will seep out of the top of the vial.

    20g works fine........ doesn't tear up the rubber and it's big enough to draw up the oil without any problems.

    Not saying this isnt true, but I have never encountered this problem, as long as you keep them right side up there shouldnt be an issue, either way 18 or 20 will work just fine.

    if you have "single serve" 1cc amp, just pull out the plunger and dump it in the back of the syringe, but if it is a 10cc bottle use an 18g

    It's not unsafe its just that the needle wont be a sharpe and go in as easy. Poking through rubber stopers and scraping along the bottom of an amp dulls the needle.

    What if they fall over? Shit happens.

    But if the 18g is big enough to cause thatproblem don't you think it could be allowing other impurities in as well........ Solve the problem is to go with a smaller gausge (20g)... JMO

    No, break the top of the amp and draw with a drawing pin.

    Worse than this, you can(I know, it happened to me) wind up with large chunks of rubber stopper either in the syringe or in the vial. The difference in time between loading with a 20/21 and an 18 is negligible and I guarantee it is far more time saving than trying to explain to emergency room personnel how you got a chunk or rubber stopper in your ass.
