Pulling syringe but no fluid

[drejb]

Hey guys. (Noob pinner)

When pulling the syringe to draw my test E. no matter how slow or fast I pull the plunger, the test just trickles into the syringe in tiny drops.

I have to pull the syringe back all the way, let the test trickle in excess amounts, and the push back what I don't need.

I am holding the vile upside down to draw.

Is this normal?

There are a few tiny bubbles after all said and done, but I read that a few tiny bubbles isn't too much cause for concern

Using a 22g drawing needle, and a 25g inject needle.

Cheers

Push 1cc of air into the vial before drawing

^^ This. and be patient.

I've done that. Still just trickles into the syringe. I ended up getting test to the .5cc mark. But had to let the test trickle into the syringe until I had enough and then push the excess air out

use a bigger needle then

Would you recommend 20 or 18? I was reading something about bigger needles eating up the stopper

Use an 18 bevel edge, and use the same insertion point in the rubber stopper each time.

20g should be fine

I was using 25s to draw and inject and I never had a problem. BUT I heated the test up in hot water while I brushed my teeth. Made it a lot easier to draw and way less painful

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Went through like 4 or 5 needles lol

How hot are you heating your test up? Mine was pretty damn hot and it came out smooth af. Still took a little time but it was a pretty consistent flow

I didn't heat it up at all. I'll try this next time

Is this your TRT prescribed test giving you such a problem? If you cant draw smoothly and easily with a 20g then YOU are doing something wrong

It's prescribed. And clearly I'm doing something wrong which is why I'm asking this question lol.. smh

 

[nosnmiveins]

are you using a 20g? if you go from a 22g to a 20g there will be a big difference

 

[drejb]

I'm using 22 to draw. I'll try 20, thanks

put the 20g on the syringe, draw about 1cc of air, inject the 1cc of air into the vial then draw the oil. if this isnt easy as butter then i dont know what to tell you
