Drawing the syringe up question
« on: February 25, 2014, 11:05:31 AM »
Hey guys quick question, i might be a really silly question but a friend of mine did that for 3 years  ;D,  can you use the same needle that you use to draw up the test (not inject) more than once?

Yes but the true question here is why?

In today's internet world you can buy a pack of 100 pins for dirt cheap. Why risk it?

plus putting the pin through the vial membrane will blunt it somewhat

I do from time to time, but no, you shouldn't.

I always seem to be short pins, I can't be arsed ordering them half the time. Last time I ran out I just ran threw a bunch of needles with bleach and water, then just water, and used those for a while, the optimal junkie protocol

Exactly.

I order the tubes and twice as many pins and just switch out the pin between draw and injection. I can tell the difference in sharpness, especially on quad injections for some reason.
