Thread: Question about preloading pins

as long as it wasn't exsposed to heat and kept in a cool dark place it should b good. if not chuck it.

Was the needle sheathed?

You shouldn't have a problem. I have read (don't remember where) of a story where the gear had started to deteriorate the rubber inside of the syringe.

However, I once preloaded a syringe for 5 days and had no problems.

I don't see anything wrong. I mean, there's some companys that sell preloads, you just screw on the needle.
BTW, I'm love ur username! :-)

Lol thanks bro

In the offseason peak come december, it is not unusual to see me down 3 Wendys Baconators preworkout. Just sayin' .

i dont really believe in the whole alcohol in gear deteriorating the rubber in the pin bc theres also rubber in multi dose vials and thoes things can be stored for years
vote = ur g2g

I preload for convenience, never had a problem with it

Pre loaded many many times without problem but I use sterile techniques.

I preloaded for my 2 week vacation this past summer. Worked great no issues

Why preload it takes a whole 60 seconds to fill er up and change the needle and poke

true if youre only using one compound

Not when you are pinning Test E, Test susp, NPP and EQ all in one syringe.

I pre-load my pins a week in advance, but like heavyiron I use sterile injection techniques.

I think it's the solvent which compromises the rubber in the syringe

Also, rubber in the vials is of different material from the rubber in the syringe...

I have preloaded up to 5 weeks in advance for 4 cycle and have never had an issue.

As long as the needle was still covered by the plastic tip, you can still pin it. Do not use a needle that has been exposed for a week.

Correct!!! Different types of rubbers are used in syringes and in vials.

There are teflon coated versions, bromo-butyl rubber, chloro-butyl rubber, isoprene/natural rubber, etc. All these are used for syringes and or stoppers on the vials/plungers. Some are better suited than others...I recommend the BD brand syringes, as they use the proper rubber in their products...or so I've been told. BD is worth the extra few pennies, IMHO.

I pre-load all my gear for a weak. When I load them, I also keep them stored needle side down....this way the gear doesn't sit on the rubber plunger for too long. And yes, pre-loading makes things much easier for me, I'm always traveling and on the go. It's also especially easier when using 3-4 compounds in one barrel, as mentioned above.
