Thread: how to open vials???

are you actually trying to open the vial or just to put a pin into it? AFAIK you just pull the plastic part off and use a syringe to get out what you need, and put the cap back on. Not sure why you'd want to open it totally so I'm assuming thats what you mean?

im just trying to get the plastic part to either open or come off ( whichever it does) so I can put the needle into it. So the plastic top is removable?

LOL, yes pull the top green plastic off. Then you will have the rubber stopper that you inject the pin thru to draw. Always wipe the stopper with alcohol each time before you inject the needle. Now inject some of that AP.............finger lickin good.

You can. Or you can buy extra needles and change then inject. If you don't change, it won't be quite as sharp.

Wow! Thought the part that says "flip off" kinda gave it away! Just bugging you bro!

woooow..yeah i recomend buying another pin to change out bc after you go through the stopper it will dull the pin

sorry just saw dg806 covered that...this is the friendliest forum ever i am amazed

alright thanks guys

btw IMO using the same needles as you draw with will make no difference, ive always done that and ive never noticed any needle being dull :/, and ive gave over 5000 shots
if you have extra do it but it isnt a big deal

Use 18-20g pins to draw, 22-25g to pin. I don't like using the same pin that I draw to shoot with. For one, drawing 3cc of test from a 25g pin takes for ever. I'm not that patient. I pre-load all my syringes for a weeks worth. Besides, the needle does get dull after one puncture into the rubber stopper.

lol i dunno i used the same 23g this morning and i felt no pain during injection or now, lol and who the fuck would use a needle 6 times lol

Pins are so cheap why not just switch

yeah I think I have enough so ill just switch it out easy enough

Asia pharma top vials dont have "flip off"..but Asia pharma

yeah not to mention depending on who you get ur pins from they usually do a special on pin needle combos just for that reason and for 5 bucks more its worth it to me just for the added piece of mind

Lol what a noob

I'm curious about preloading syringes. Do they stay sterile if cap is put back on? do you lose any oil if you bump the plunger?

This was a great post Vic. Really shows what happens with reuse. I always switch needles once it passes through the rubber stopper. They are so cheap why not? As some of the others said.
Preloading is ok IMO if it will only be a few days until you will use it but I would not leave it in a syringe too long because the Benzyl alcohol can break down the rubber plunger over time. If I am going out of town for a week or so I will preload one or two syringes for the trip. I usually preload then put them in the syringe wrapper with the cap on them and place them in a ziplock bag. I think that you could risk infection by doing this if you are not careful. I have used this technique a few times in emergencies and never had an issue. Maybe some others could chime in on this.

You hit the nail on the head. I only pre-load for 5 days worth for the reason you mentioned above. I keep em stored in a pouch that I have in my gym bag. When Sunday night comes around, I load for the whole week. And like you, they are kept in a ziplock bag. I've been using this method for a good 15 years.

Saves me a lot of time, especially since I usually pin ED. And in my gym bag, the syringes are all kept pointed down in the bag, this way none of the solution sits too long on the rubber plungers. Just one of the cute little tricks I picked up from those who have taught me many moons ago.

I think I'm going to market some "vial openers" for those who can't flip the cap off....I think I'd make a fortune!

Lol! Rock on victor, I think your on to something

for now i dont read any bad post about Asia Pharma gear inject or pain with inject,etc..

look like real great brand..gmp made..now i see why price is not so low like i got offer for some ugl brands.

best-regards

I agree with tgb1987, you can preload them for a few days but if you leave the gear in there to long the alcohol will eat the rubber and youll be injecting rubber, also when recapping them be careful so the needle is still sterial

I see this pic all the time, the last one is way zoomed in on the tip which skews the objectiveness (notice the scale changes?). That said, reusing pins is stupid, but I don't think drawing and pinning with the same pin is a big deal.

My 2c.
