Dull slin pins

[independent]

I preloaded some slin pins with my hcg, I did push the needles in the stopper. Now when I inject with them they are dull as butter knife, wtf? Do I need to back load them? They are BD 30g pins.

Don't buy used pins bro.

I use 1/2" 29g easy-touch. Never backloaded em and have not noticed a problem ever.

 

[TGB1987]

I always back load. I use 29G 1/2in usually.

I use BD 30g 1/2" with Zero problems...no backload...just go to Walmart and grab another bag....theyre like $2

I will try it and see if it makes a difference.

Good advice. If you have to preload your stuff, backload it. The sharp is like a surgical scalpel. After the first cut through, it usually isn't as sharp. That's why a lot of surgeons ditch the initial scalpel and ask for a fresh "blade"

That's your "useless bit of knowledge" lesson for the day.

I never backloaded a slin pin for hcg. I just draw from the vial and pin it......

 

[Chrisotpherm]

I had same issues for a while, started as everyone else recommended and back loaded and was a whole lot happier. At least my thighs were.

The most i'd use a slin pin is 2x, and thats only if its in the same sitting.

This is the answer you're looking for. $2 is worth your skin and preventing scars and discomfort.

also the rubber stopper on my hcg vial is pretty tough.

I know what you mean. Monoject 29 1/2" and mine are dull as shit too after going thru the hcg rubber. I just push against the skin and wait for it to accept the needle lol I've considered mixing my next hcg in a 3ml syringe and backloading so they will stay sharp. Or pulling thru the tip or something. Doesn't seem near as sterile to me is all

Backload a 27 ga. 1/2" with 1 cc TNE for pre-workout. Use same pin twice (hit both delts with .5ccs). No issues.

I like the last pic seems good enough!!lol

Slin pins dull VERY easily, especially 30g.

With oils I always backload when using slin pins.
With HCG I always draw it from the bottle and inject it immediately, no backloading.
I can definately tell a difference in needle sharpness. Ive had a few HCG shots that hurt because the needle got so dull going thru the rubber stopper.

I've noticed that there are different consistencies in the rubber stoppers. The HCG (small) vials tend to have thicker harder rubber than the larger mixing vials.

The consistency of the rubber can dull the needle to more or less of a degree but in my experience so far not enough to make the injection terribly unpleasant.

The hardest stopper I've drawn through is a research company PT-141 vial and it still injected fine.

Thank you.

I have the small vials and the stopper is pretty tough.

try to be careful and pierce directly and swiftly in the middle of the rubber and go straight in and straight out. That should limit the damage to the tip.

Backloading is for pu**ies, unless it's for an oil. Man up!

LOL pretty much. For oil I always backload; for peptides/hcg i draw and pin.

 

[SloppyJ]

Try drawing up CJC, GRF, and MII in the same pin and then shooting it. You just have to nut up and stick it.

I have reshielded slins after preloading and actually pushed the pin through the side of the shield, those injects were a little tough, sometime when you miss the center of the stopper you go through a lot of rubber, c'mon we're talking 1/2" 30ga. My 6 year old diabetic niece whines less. Put a Hello Kitty bandaid on it it'll be ok.

 

[~RaZr~]

I actually looked at a slin pin before and wondered, "could you somehow change the needle after you draw up some regular?" That's when I realized it would probably be to much of a PITA.

Now for drawing up oil, that's a different story...

Worked perfect thanks!

the stopper will do more damage then your skin, that's for sure, but skin gets tougher after a couple hundred pins. wont really matter after that
