+ 3 using the same needle to draw and inject?

ad

What is your opinion on this? It seems like all of the trt clinics use a larger guage needle to draw and smaller gauge to inject. I am aware that the needle could be dulled slightly when using it to draw, but it just seems very convenient.
any input appreciated,
Thanks,

Dude... it take literally 3 seconds to put another needle on, and they are super cheap. I stockpiled for 2 years worth of pins and barrels for less than $100 US.

When I first started DIY TRT I was drawing and injecting with the same 23g needle. I didn't take long to figure out that wasn't a good thing. I switched to 18g to draw and I've been pinning with 23g and more recently 21g (thick oil).

Why risk it? They're widely and easily available on "Largest Online Retailer" now, and dirt cheap. If you can't afford the pins to do it properly, you have no business using gear.

Personally, I use an 18g 1" to draw with. I DO NOT inject with the same one I draw with.
If it's delt time, I use a 25g 5/8" and put 1.5ml in each medial delt (sometimes rear delts if my GF is over to do it)
If it's glute time, 23g 1.5" and all in one shot (up to 3ml).
If it's Quad time, 25g 1" and 1.5ml per quad.
If it's trap time, 25g 5/8" and only 1ml per side.
If it's lat time, 25g 1" for 1.5ml per side and only if my GF is here to do it.
If it's Pec time, 25g 5/8" and only a max of 1ml per side.

now if your in a jam and have only so many needles which can be a situation sometimes make sure u fill a cup with 91% rubbing alcohol insert the entire needle in it fill it up and flush it out a few times this will keep u safe from an infection or something worse

For one, you should never be in a jam, you should always have what you need and then some -Before you start
For another, I did that when I was a Junkie... I still got hep C.

This is why we need a new feature to flag these types of posts, someone will read it and have a half a brain and do it. Lately with the no moron left behind posts we've been seeing it may become reality.

Fuck off

bearsfan1991's picture

completely horrific advice. if you dont have enough needles for a full cycle, you have no business injecting anything. God forbid this guy takes your advice.

cycles are not something you do "if your (you're) in a jam."

Please do us a favor and leave this site.

bearsfan1991's picture

I see that... "id also like to throw in some anadrol at some point but i dont have any nor do i have any money or a job and no way of getting money"

combine that with posting a picture with his face....not the smartest, in other words, more reasons not to re-use needles

You need to be Banned right now if this is the type of advice you are going to be giving out ...

If someone doesn't have enough common sense to have enough needles on hand they shouldn't be running a cycle in the first place. There is no excuse for reusing needles. It is just plain stupidity if one does so.

I have Never ever heard anyone giving advice on here on how to sterilise a used needle so it can be used to inject again - What a Complete F'in Idiot eh Mak...Just when you think you've seen it all

Because it’s not the 60’s. A box of 100 is like 17$ At ur house in 2 days.
Crazy.

In the U.K you can go into any pharmacy that offers the needle exchange service (50% of them do) and get free needles of all the main sizes including oranges and yellows, 2.5ml barrels, slin pins, swabs, needle bins. As many as you want for nothing! You just register anonymously as either a steroid or heroin user - they'd rather see you safe and inject with sterile equipment than re-use other needles etc and spread infections.

I usually walk on down to the slums and ask the people on the sides of the streets if they got a needles I can use.

But I ask them if they have any diseases first. I know I can trust them when they say no!

Pls do not do it. Needles are cheap. You do not want to use a dull needle after drawing to inject into yourself.

Always use a fresh needle to draw and a fresh needle to inject.

briansteele's picture

Using the same needle draw up the liquid, and then inject is a terrible practice. Not only will the needle be dulled (the fluid coating the needle allowing for smoother insertion will be removed) but you run the risk of creating rubber shrapnel within the vial (which is why the needle used for drawing up is blunt)

press1's picture

Isn't a big positive about using a fresh new pin to inject, the fact it is completely sterile - other than it hitting the alcohol swabbed skin on the way in nothing else has touched it? ...

The other big positive is reduction in scar tissue. That needle is wrecked after it pierces the stopper and is now dull. Now you poke it into your muscle and dull needles are going to cause more microtears in the muscle and boom, more scar tissue.

I use an 18g to extract, and have been using the same one for a long time. Maybe a yearish. Just use a wipe before you insert it ensuring it's clean.

I will use the same syrynge for pinning whenever it's convenient again making sure u use a sterile wipe first. Sometimes it gets too dull and is a bitch to pin. Then I'll toss it. Pinning doesn't bother me because I'm so used to it. But to each their own.

My opinion will save you from an abcess. so your welcome.

You needs lesson on abscess.New pins are so cheap it’s crazy to reuse.Thats the kind of shit dope fiends do!

ashop's picture

Bigger gauge pins can cause scar tissue build up over time. Smaller gauge pins are often smoother and painless. Draw with a 18-20, inject with a 25g

Makwa's picture

Needle tip gets bent to shit after only 1 use. Probably even worse poking through a rubber stopper than skin.

Makwa's picture

Hard to poke it through the stopper even one time.
