Recently had to get myself some new syringes so i ordered a box of 2ml luer locks that comes with 23g needles included. Thing is theres extra air coming inside through the transparent plastic bit in the needle when i draw oil.
At first i saw there were extra air bubbles but i assumed that i either missed some bubbles initially or that i accidentally pushed the needle too far into the vial and drew some air too. I injected that day and it was fine.
But on a new vial i paid more attention and drew super slow and its very clear theres some imperfection in the plastic transparent bit of the needle as after drawing around 0.4-0.5 of test e inside it starts making bubbles out of nowhere right in the middle, so its not like bubbles are dislodging from a place i didnt see and the whole vial is full so theres no way im accidentally drawing air. I asked chatgpt about it and he told me its a common issue and its either due to bad storage or a bad batch from the factory. He told me theres risks of infection and abscess so i figured whatever ill just get a new box from a different retailer. I change needles so i figured with the barrel fine and the risk small i dont have to miss that dose, injected and was fine.
Now i got Another box and guess what? Same damn issue, and i got it from the company that owns the brand that makes them! So its not a storage thing its a bad batch thing. Thing is since the previous injections were fine so should i keep these or should i throw them away and get a completely different brand of syringes with needles?
