Some noob questions on pins/pinning
ad
If while pinning I were to draw back some blood into the syringe, what would I then do? Pull out part way and push back in at a very slight angle to avoid the blood vessel? Pull out completely and re-inject at a different spot? Get a new needle and try again?
Is it ok to inject with the same needle as I drew the test out with?
What are your thoughts on 23g to inject?
Sorry if this was posted elsewhere, been reading and didn't see it.
Thanks in advance.

is it ok to just use a 1mm syringe for shooting test or is this too small? eg shooting 250mg/1mm?
Excellent input, thanks guys.
One more question though.
Is it doable to use a 23g to draw from, I know a lot of people say draw with 18 or 20 and inject with 23 or 25. A common counter is I've seen suggestions to heat up the vial before drawing to thin out the oil a bit but the instructions for storing test say to protect it from heat. Thoughts?
I draw and pin with a 23g. I've had zero problems this way.
Well if u can pin with a 23 g there is no reason u can draw with it. I have a mate who uses 23g to draw (from amps) cause he says he sometimes gets tiny shards of glass in the bottom and uses a 21 g to inject... I personaly wouldnt use a 21 g to inject again its too big for my liking, and I find a 25 g hurts cause of the pressure getting it out. 23 g is the mother fckin bomb! If u get a bit of blood when u aspirate tkae it out completly, push out any blood, change the needle find a new spot and do it again, u can use the same syringe and gear
if you draw blood pull out and inject in another spot and you should change the needle after you draw and i i use 23g for my glutes and 25g for my quads and delts
Thanks for the input but I've got to ask, what is the reason for changing out the needles for drawing and injecting?
Also, would 23g be ok for quads?
And one final one, I'm getting a sharps container for the used needles, what do you do with it when full?
you change the needle because it dulls it when you go through the rubber on the vial and 23 will be fine in quads. When the sharps container is full you bring it to a pharmacy and they will take it
Question guys, I'm new to injecting, what would be the best size to order and to inject with, thx

56tooMost people will change needles cuz after inserting needle in vial to draw, the needle loses it's sharpness somewhat so by changing the needle you get less pain injecting but some people use the same one. When i was diabetic I wld use a needle 2-3x b4 using a new one and i can tell u the first couple of times you don't feel much difference but by the third you sure as hell do. I would do it just to save $. I use a 25g for all shots ie quad, glute, and delt. I use a one inch and have not had any problems yet.If u have a lot of fat on your ass you may want to use 1 1/2" in the glute. Dude you dont have to spend money on a container, just use any jug from around the house. Laundry detergent containers work well
sharpie containers are free
How does one get a free container?
Needle Exchange. UK has them all over every city... I think Canada has the same. US I think it depends on what state u are in... U can also buy sharp containers online, but there is no point buying it if it is going in the trash and not back to the exchange. If it goes back to the exchange they will give u sharp containers, if not then use what the lads said a liquid laundry detergent bottle and just tape the lid closed etc and into a bin/garbage bag whooooo
