loading

[automaticj5]

I just want to make sure I am doing this right as I have never done it til this cycle...

I am loading both 1 cc of prop and 1cc of tren in each inject so that I am not a pin cushion...

Its as simple as stickin the needle in and loading one of them then taking the needle and sticking in and loading the other correct? I guess I just want to make sure it is the correct way so that I am not losing anything....

If that even makes sense...lol

thanks

That works fine

you will always lose some in the needle, it's insignificant though and doesn't affect the measurement on the side of the barrel and what you put in you..

Perfect thanks -- one more question... I am going on a long trip tomorrow and going to workout on my way home -- if I load the needle tonight or in the AM will it be fine during the day til I inject?

Obviously ill bring alcohol and swabs and what not...

with the cost of pins, i use one to draw (18 or 20), one to inject one site(23g 1.5"), and a new one for another site.

don't swab the needle before injecting! make sure you keep it clean and sterile and to let a couple of drops moisten the needle before you poke..

why not just take the vial and needle with you?

LOL -- now thats a thought.. I have no idea why I didnt think of that... I am driving as we type tho so its a bit late... let me clarify something.. you dont re-clean the needle before you poke? Just let a lil of the goods moisten it before you poke?

You clean before you draw tho right?

Yea sterile needle in it's wrapper.. You unwrap, pop off the top, draw out your gear, pop the top back on.. should be sterile when you go to use it later.. wipe your injection site with alcohol.. pop off the top, squeeze a little so a few drops come out, inject..

the needle is sterile when taken out of its packaging, so there is no need to clean it. just draw with an 18, take it off, replace it with a fresh 23 straight out of the packaging, careful not to touch anything with it before you pin and go for it. what burpees is saying is when you give the plunger a tiny little squeeze to push whatever air is in the needle out, let a little dribble of oil out of the top of the needle which will then run down the side of the needle, which acts as a lubricant when you push it into wherever youre pinning.

perfect thx guys... ill start hittin it that way... I assume as long as its got its plastic cap on it should stay clean... cuz right now its sitting in it for about 4 more hrs til I poke..

Right. I use 23ga to draw and inject, unless I had to poke through two stoppers, in which case I'll swap out the needle. I forget a lot of you guys use a larger gauge then switch to a smaller gauge to inject..

shit my first to injects -- I poked through 2 stoppers and poked myself still... all one needle -- dont even feel it..

but why? needles are that damn cheap, it may have not hurt that much, but it would have hurt even less if you had changed it. and if you are seriously not bothered about the pain think about this-pinning with blunt needles (after going through 2 stoppers they are, even if they still feel sharp) over time will cause soooooo much more scar tissue than fresh needles, which is all bad because you cant really inject through scar tissue, pushing you to use other sites you might not want to, which will eventually become scar tissue ridden aswell. plus it looks horrible. you would be doing yourself a big favour in the long run by using a different needle.
