Pinning: What a Difference!!

[simply dave]

Wow...

Up until now, I've been just using the same 23g 1" needle to draw with and pin with. Never really had too much of a problem, but I read where folks will draw w/ a larger gauge then switch to a smaller gauge to inject. That being said, I decided to give it a try. With my last purchase, I picked up some 20g 1" pins to draw and 23g 1" to pin. A world of difference in not only how easy it is to draw with, but then using a 23g 1" that hasn't gone through the stopper...It's like nothing! Never really gave it much thought, but I'm sold now.

Just thought I'd offer up my experience. FWIW

Yeah bro cant go wrong with that setup!! I use 18g to draw and 25g to inject and dont feel a thing! Glad you found something that works for you.

People dont realize just how much damage you can do to the needle by drawing. Its like pinning with a dull needle. Drawing and pinning with different needles is the only way to go IMO

No kidding! I was one of those people! With a fresh needle, I feel practically nothing! I'm definitely a convert.

Try injecting w a 25 guage. You wont even feel it. And yes there is a huge difference in how much that damn pin can dull from going through a rubber stoper.
