just did my first ever injection and have a question that i havent seen an answer to.
ad
maybe I didn't search for the right topics but I couldn't find pictures, so i need to ask. is it normal for there to be a small hole where I withdrew from the vial? using an 18g to draw which I see a lot of people recommend against now. but is this bottle no good now? REDACTED

BoaIts normal
Dont worry
It's fine...use 25g next time. Takes a few secs longer but much smaller punctures
Definitely gonna switch it to a smaller size. Not sure where I read 18g but immediately just assumed it was best. There’s a learning curve lol
that looks like the plastic cap is still on. but as said its hard to tell
Hard to tell from the picture but it doesn’t look like a hole where air and contaminants can get in. Looks more like a puncture that resealed. If that’s not the case, dump it.
Thanks. I turned the bottle upside down and tried to see if I could get any fluid to leak out and nothing was able to pass through. So that’s a good sign. Appreciate the reply
18 guage way to big, get a 23 guage.
I have 23 gauge and will use it from now on, but could you look at the bottle? tell me if the stopper is ok to continue to use this bottle or is it trash?
If nothing leaks out it is just fine to use. Don’t use 18g. 21 g would be the biggest I would use
Thanks for the reply I was pretty nervous first time sticking myself lol worrying about every little step. Definitely switching the needs size
Kinda of hard to tell.
