Thread: Can pins be preloaded?

I use to get a 3 month supply of testesterone from the pharmacy preloaded!

I wouldn't preload any water based gear, cause it does and will clot! But as far as oil based goes yes you can preload!

I preload most of my syringes. Like Mr.BIG said, preloading waterbased compounds is a no no. Oil based is gtg.

I preload everything. No problems so far.

I just preloaded a pin for tomorrow, 1/2ml Tren A and 1/2ml Aquabolic, the only reason I preload the Suspension is cause its mixed with oil, the Suspension clots so fast on me when it's the only gear in the syringe!

Nothing worse than sticking yourself and can't get the plunger to move, then you have to take the pin out and try to work it free, heck I had to replace the pin once, just could not get it broke free!

I'm just wondering, by preloading pins, isn't there a better chance of bacteria growth on the pin that may have landed on it from the air or something, then sitting around for a while

How if it's sheathed? I pull with a 20g then take that pin off and replace it with either a 23g 1 1/2" or a 25g 1" these are sheathed and still have not been exposed to air!

True but the oil is exposed to air when you switch pins right

EDIT: I guess the small amount of alcohol in the solvent might stop bacteria from growing

I would not leave it for any length of time that black rubber plunger thing does not like the alcohol and can break down in the syringe. Just my thoughts.

Again, I use to get my scrip of Test Cyp filled with preloaded syringes for 3 months in advance, never had a problem!

yes

Yes you can preload and I do so also but some oils have a higher BA content which can break down the rubber plunger over time. This may take months or weeks it varies greatly but it can happen. I usually load my pins up for the week then put them in a zip lock bag in a shirt pocket in my closet facing down so they are not laying on the rubber plunger. In most case the rubber will not break down for a long time. Try to be sterile and I would not worry much about it.

Draw some air into the syringe right before the inject and shake it vigorously. Remove the air and shoot.

pre loaded syringe?

Done, worked perfectly, thank you heavy


Will this work with just a water based also?
