Redi-jects really aren't any more expensive since you already have the needle and the syringe. If you use a vial, you are supposed to switch the needle after drawing out the juice. So, you can actually use 2 needles and 1 syringe every shot. With redi-jects, you get it all. So, the price is about the same. And yes, they are extremely hard to fake. If they actually ever were in the first place. I seriously doubt it. I think that whole Texas underdosed thing was totally bs. So, you save on needles, syringes, and time preparing the gear like you would if it was in an amp or vial. Plus, most people get their redi-jects from Mexico, not Europe. So, they are getting them for $11 to $12 a piece. Therefore, when they mark up the price, it's about the same as a vial or amp. Maybe a little more. I think they're worth it. Piece of mind in knowing that they're real and the piece of mind in not having to go through all that crap to prepare before the injection like with the amps and vials.
