    Needle question

    hey guys, Just a quick question,

    I have done a few cycles so I know the importance of using a larger gauge to withdraw and changing to a smaller to inject, BUT recently I got my hands on some cool looking new needles, these ones are a 25 gauge 1" but when the plunger hits the top of the needle AKA the liquid is all in, it springs the needle back into the chamber and its a INSTANT withdraw,

    The only downside to these needles is you cannot change the gauge on them, so I would be Withdrawing with the same and injecting with the same, I take my injecting very seriously and I KNOW people use the same gauge to withdraw and inject, but is it a BAD way to do it? Does it blunt the needle that much?

    I will take your advice very seriously, The needles were free so i don't mind chucking them, its just a question im curious on getting answered

    CHeers boys

    that's how I do it everyday. you can actualy open a diferent needle after you draw and just take that tip and put in on the loaded one so its not dull from the stoped you'll run threw them faster but you said they were free and it's better then chucking them

    You cant take the tips off, its the whole package, the 25 gauge is apart of the needle sadly,

    EDIT" they are called "retractable syringes "

    I have been drawing and pinning with the same needle for years without any problems ever. The only problem i can think of is that by drawing with same pin, the needle looses a little sharpness but its still not enough IMO for me to notice any difference.

    Good luck.

    are these some kind of "safety" needles?

    I'd suggest instead of worrying, just give it a go and see what happens. Experience is the best teacher

    This Definetly does not happen that quickly. At least not with the gauge I use.

    I thought it seemed a bit exaggerated

    That pic is from B-D and its their slin pin. Needles are so cheap, I can't believe I'm reading another thread about people reusing them.

    I know they are cheap, I get them for free, im saying not having to move around the needle and withdraw 100% with safety is something I want to en-quire about with these needles.
