First inject cycle help - Test P

[Jamesm11]

So wirh pinning how exactly does it work? You draw with say 21g and then switch the needle? The syringe stays full of the oil while you just switch the needle?

I was trying to figure it out because slin pins obviously don't allow for that type of exchange and it's the only inject experience I have (peptides)

Nvm I found that you buy syringes and needles separately. Gonna get 21g to draw and 23g to inject. 1" needles

I personally draw with 18 and inject 25.

You can buy the syringe/needle combo. That's what I've done, or whatever is cheaper. I like the combo, one less step. I don't like 18ga. because they leave bigger holes in the rubber stopper on the vial. Too big of holes and you can get small pieces of rubber in the liquid, which can contaminate the whole vial. The vial can also lose vacuum that way.

So buy the combo and then the other size needle separately? Do say I buy the 21g combo then just buy 23g needles?

Yes, that's exactly it. Wouldn't hurt to get some extra 21's or 22's in case you accidentally contaminate it. Always have all of your bases covered.

As in punch too many holes and lose vacuum? Would that mean get some extra vials?

As in punch too many holes with a cannon like a 18ga. Pinning the same vial multiple times with a 18ga. probably will cause too much damage to the rubber stopper. You'll be fine with using 21's or 22's to draw.

Never had a problem. Easier to pin the same location in the vial with a larger needle. That's how you avoid vacuum loss.
To each his own though.

Thanks for everyone's help. I'll post a link to this log when I start next month
