Just my experience but I guess everyone is different. This way it draws fast and you don't need to switch tips all the time.
    switching tips is not about switching to a smaller size, its about risk of infection over a $0.05 tip.

    its at best 50% as sharp after going in that stopper as it was prior, and can also pick up bacteria on the way out of stopper.

    Even if you swab it huh? I always thought the process of switching them seemed like it could cause more bacteria. Maybe I'm wrong

    the god damn swab costs as much as a new tip.

    you unscrew the original tip, keep on slightly, open new tip, keep it in package. knock off other tip and screw new one one as soon as you take old off

    Noone said anything about the cost of a swab or a tip? If you are thinking about swab costs you have bigger problems bud.. anyway guess I never thought the tip would get bacteria from going through a clean rubber stopper and the "dullness" never really bothered me so I never thought of switching tips out. But if that's a real thing guess I better start doing it.

    I've been pinned by nurses in doctors office.

    they never switch tips, and jab that 18 gauge in vial, and then into butt.

    I just think its wise to take every precaution.

    we are putting these needles deep into muscle

    Very true. I think everyone has had at least one scare. Never had an infection but definitely had some anxiety over it a few times

    I had a issue I went to er for.

    I have phamacom test e (PHARMATEST E500) it is potent as fudge. I was mixing it with sterile grape seed oil from alpha labs. there's no solvent in the blank oil. it caused severe swelling 2x. I had to get antibiotics just as a precaution.

    I now just mix the e500 with mast 200.
