Using same needle to draw and inject with peptides

[Bgainz]

Yeah I was just wondering if when using peptides and hgh can I use the same needle to inject as I use to draw on my insulin syringe or do I need to back load the insulin syringe.

Ideally, you'd use a blunt drawing needle to keep the injecting needle sharp. I don't.

I use the same syringe for like a week with peptides that are only subq. Been doing that for years and never had a problem. I don’t suggest anyone follow my example tho

So you draw and shoot with the same needle?

I do for peptides all the time. Fuck that back filling bs.

No one backfills that's diabetic. Millions and millions draw with the same needle and inject

Why stop there? There's a lot of needles on skid row, you can save so much money lol

I draw and inject with the same needle. It doesn't peirce as easy in comparison to one that hasnt gone through a vial. 27 gauge 1 ml. I just don't reuse the same needle.

Yes. I use a new syringe whenever I have to reconstitute something which is fairly frequently these days

Trying to at least keep it to my own DNA lol

Thank you guys for the answers.

It's not just infection risk, though. The single-use syringes degrade pretty quickly, and they're cheap.

I use a new barrel and separate needles for drawing and injecting IM or I use a new insulin syringe for IM peptides. I got into the habit of reusing subq needles from being a broke 20-something year old injecting MTII for years. Now I change subq needles far more frequently but found that it never caused a problem so I don’t mind reusing a handful of times now

Backloading is not sanitary.
Just draw and inject

Oils are different because you aren’t using an insulin needle but still never backload. It’s stupid

agree with this as i do the same but i’ve noticed when drawing and injecting pharma insulin, it’s much smoother and doesn’t blunt the needle like ugl hgh and some aminos do

I do this and many diabetics (I am not diabetic) also do this to save money

Nah, just didn’t wanna be hassled buying them constantly as it wasn’t legal in my state at the time over a decade ago. Never had any issues doing it so it just persisted even as they became legal to possess and money wasn’t tight

So when you pull the needle out, it might look clean but it’s actually covered in biological matter: platelets, white blood cells, bits of epidermis, etc. Then while the needle is lying around, bacteria goes to work on all that stuff, feeding and multiplying.

When you push the needle back in the next day, you’re injecting those bacteria into your body (and if you draw with it you’re introducing bacteria into the vial). The only reason why this doesn’t make you ill is because your immune system is fighting the pathogens you’re introducing. But if it becomes compromised for whatever reason, you better hope you have antibiotics on hand.

I use the same needle for subq for a week at a time. Even on pens I use the same pen tip for the duration of a whole gh pen

Been doing it this way for about 12 years now and never had an issue
