Problems with terumo needles and syringes
ad
So I recently got some terumo syringes and needles and this was the first time I have used terumo. Bottom line....I'm not happy. The syringes were not smooth. The plunger would stick around .5ccs which in itself made for a difficult injection. Now to the big problem. The first two 25 gauge needles I broke out to use were bent. Then I went through 3 needles before I found one that wasn't dull. I'm not kidding or being a bitch. I pinned 2 days ago with B&D needles and they go in smooth as silk. These terumo needles are not anywhere near as sharp. You have to harpoon those damn things. I'm wondering if I got a bad batch or has anyone had the same experience. Sucks because I ordered a ton of these damn things.

I like there needles but I've had issues with there syringes more than any other brand. Personally I love the Excel 3ml syringes they fit my hands perfectly for all my trick shots on lats, traps, etc.
Had the same experience as you did with them. Never again will I pin with that brand. BD's are the bomb except for the pin and syringe combo. Pins dull as heck.
I've experienced some of the same problems with terumo. Sometimes I get a perfect needle and all, but there's not really any consistency. I have like 500 needles and a couple hundred of their syringes so I just sort through until I find one that's perfect. I've also noticed some of the syringes aren't threaded correctly.
I just ordered some B&D to replace this shit.
Good choice on the B&D.You should post a pic up of those junk pins.
this is common for terumo I just posted a pic of my bd stash
