Switching tips

[BeefCake41]

I've heard it's better to switch needles after you have withdrawn your oils into the syringe, because it gets dull.

Do you guys agree with this? Or do u find no difference in how smooth pinning is ?

[Noles12]

Yes it is best.

[< <Samson> >]

Yes, switch them. The rubber stopper dulls the needle quite a bit.

[BeefCake41]

Thanks man , if that picture doesnt convince someone , nothing will.. by the way is there a term for what its called when u switch out needles ?

[Armykid93]

That's insane. By the 6th use that looks unusable

[Noles12]

No set term. Switching or changing needles, pins, tips, etc

i switch due to changing gauges (from 18 to.... XX)

Same here.

This too. 18s are like a harpoon.

agree with everyone 18g to draw 22-25g to inject.

[Misery13]

I draw with an 16g and pin with a 22g

[Armykid93]

Doesn't a 22g hurt like hell? I ask because I know nothing about needles

[SEOINAGE]

just been doing it all with 25 g, but i should buy some larger ones for drawing, would be faster.

[lovbyts]

I find 18g a little big to draw because it can damage the rubber stopper sometimes and allow it to leak. I like to draw with a 21g.

[Leroy Jenkins]

I switch. 20g to draw and 23 to shoot.

[lstbred]

18 to draw, 25 to pin. Does anyone use the same 18g to draw more than once?

[Igifuno]

18 to draw, 25 to pin. Does anyone use the same 18g to draw more than once?

Yup. I'll use the same 18 a few times but make sure and sterilize it before each use.

[numero_uno]

18 to draw, 25 to pin. Does anyone use the same 18g to draw more than once?

No. They are not that expensive. Why risk contamination?

[supersize me]

Yes it is best.

does anyone have any idea the magnification on these images? Because the after 6 uses looks like it wouldn't break the skin.

[JAB1]

I guess im lazy. I use the same one to draw and pin, then toss out after 1 use.

Well if you'd quit treating it like you do your pvssy you wouldn't have leakeage...lol

you should be using a bigger gauge needle if you are injecting intramusclar (18-23g)

[Noles12]

The size is not affected by where you are injecting. There would be nothing wrong with even using a 27 if the oil would pass through it. THe size is simply for ease of injection

while that is true, an inch long 27g needle would be very easy to bend and i bet one would have to plunge for a while.

Yep. There are disadvantages to smaller gauges. I would never use a 27 but a 25 works just fine for the prop Im currently using

18's are only around 10$ for 100.

18 to draw 23-25 to pin. change em up, it's cheap and so much easier.
