WARBIRDWS6 said:It will probably be dulled and therefore may be more difficult to insert the needle where you are injecting.....so that is bad.....and you can swap out a smaller needle to inject and toss the larger needle you used to draw....but if you don't mind the needle being dull, then you'd be fine....
I'm drawing just from my test e vial with rubber stopper. 2 ml syringe not sure about needle yet I haven't received my shipment yet
Do u need to change the needle necessarily after drawing the liquid for injecting? Or can u use the same needle for drawing liquid and injecting. Need feed back plz
those rubber stoppers are THICK and dull the shyt out of the needle, even on one draw....I'd get some 18G to draw and swap out to a 25G or however small you can go (not sure if you are doing quads, delts, glutes etc) to inject. Just get an alcohol swab and clean the needle after you screw it on, before you inject....I was always paranoid about my dirty fingers being on the needle screwing it on....or do this: try it once drawing and injecting with the same needle....see what you think....best option...have smaller gauge needles handy though in case you no likey....
This is what I do. Get 22 gauge to draw will obviously wipe vial EACH time with alcohol before drawing then switch to a 25 gauge and pin away. Why risk the dullness possible infection, be as clean and precise as possible. I also shower right before my inject and wipe 2 alcohol pads befoe and 2 after and the 2 band-aids, sounds paranoid but ive gotten an infection and **** hurts costs money and is overall horrible. PINS ARE SUPER CHEAP draw with a 18-22 and pin with a 23-25, thats my 2 cents
WARBIRDWS6 said:yeah man....I alcohol swap the SHYT out of my quad, my needle, the vial/stopper LOL! I am equally as paranoid as you are....i don't want NO infection EVER...and I hate when the blood spurts across the room when you pull the needle out on rare occasions....i HATE blood, but nothing you can do about that part unless you get the swab covering the hole super quick lol....
Sounds like you're hitting veins hahaga
yeah, I used to inject too low on the quad towards the middle, and there seemed to be a LOT of veins around there lol....up higher is better....but even if you aspirate and your not IN a vein? you can still be going through a vein near the surface, and when you pull out? there is the possibility of a blood spurt.....
ove never had that yet but my shoulders kinda started twitching when the pin goes in, i have the spurting blood to look forward to, do yall aspirate in shoulders
How deep do you go into your quad warbird?
WARBIRDWS6 said:i used 25G and 1"....smallest and shortest....just make sure to put it in all the way to the hilt....
I have 23g 1.5" bc my gf does my Glute but I did one in my quad today to practice bc she will be away all next week...I made it a tad over half way in and I'm relatively lean so I'm sure 7/8 of an inch I made it to my muscle
WARBIRDWS6 said:yeah 1" seems adequate to me, like I said I pushed it in really deep too in order to be sure....you can just do as you said, and push the 1 1/2" in until your about 1" in and do it like that, working with what you got on hand. must be nice to have an injection nurse![]()
Ya I'm going to inject it in my glute I'll probably buy a 23 1 1/2" needle on hand. Do all needle attachments fit on any syringe
