Thread: pre loaded syringe?

Might I ask why you would preload the syringe a day before instead of doing it when you need it? I am not bashing BTW. More of a curiosity.

I load mine for a few weeks usually.

So its just like a convenience thing?

If I preload its not the day before, I don't see the point in a 1 day preload. Its either a couple weeks or not at all. I pull with 20s so loading isn't that big of a deal.

I preload for a week....been doing so for many many years.

pre-load for sure, works to cut down time on drawin from the vial each time you pin, especially if you pre-load for a few wks at a time..

not a big fan of pre-loads.then again i have never apspirated and never had a problem.so who really knows.except don't ever pre-load anything water based.

i fix up a weeks worth of pins every sunday along with filling all my little bottles with vits, supps, etc.

^^ This ^^ - Sunday night is pre-load time in my household. I lay out all components for the week, stare at my vials and syringes with a big smile and then proceed to pre-load different amounts of different compounds in different syringes. I try to consolidate shots as much as possible, if and when possible. The most important thing of all is common sense cleanliness. Washing hands prior to handling anything, immediately capping the pin when done drawing. Then replacing the pin I used for drawing with the pin I will use for injecting. And all of this is done/handled on a clean flat surface. Then all gear including pre-loaded pins and vials are stored away in their own new ziplock bags.

i preload if im going to be traveling that week- easier to carry a couple of syringes than a couple of vials and syringes

Only reason I don't preload is I noticed last cycle that the black rubber tip on the push stick would swell up after a few days with oil in pin, don't know if this was an effect from the alcohol or what but my question is why does it swell and is it absorbing my juice? Probably not but I still don't like the fact that shit is expanding and could be releasing some particles or something else I don't know about from the rubber. Has anyone noticed this or experienced this.

I prefer the sust redi-jects due to the small needle they have.

^^^did the susta reddi jects change their pin size because I remember back in the day they were like 20g harpoons and hurt like a sob

this gets me concerned

I enjoy loading them up each time. 3x/wk isn't that bad for me. But I can see where preloading would be good if you do ED shots.

that's why i do it. i pin ED and use the slin pin method. that's a somewhat time consuming process, so i just do a weeks worth at a time. then i can just grab one and bang it.

Don't preload any high concentration gear, it most likely has EO in it to achieve stability. That EO will eat through the rubber in the syringe.

whats EO?

^^ I believe he's refering to ethyl oleate which some ugl use in their gear

Yes Ethyl Oleate. Even some HG stuff uses Ethyl Oleate though (virormones).

For short term its compatible with your syringe no problem, but long term it'll start to eat away at the rubber plunger.

Good point.

how long is short term and how long is long term?

About the plunger/rubber in the barrel...keep the preloaded syringes pointed down, this way the solution isn't sitting on the rubber. Problem solved.

I've been thinking about preloading for awhile now, but was concerned the gear might slowly ooze out the pin. Do any of you find the longer between preload and injection that small amounts of your gear has leaked out?

I thought they were 20g, the mexican ones.

I don't see the point in pre loading personally but I can see where some guys might want to do this.

i always preload, it saves time plus it's fun

always considered some potential hygiene issues with preloading . . . always draw and shoot every time.
