Why not use slin pins only?

[malfeasance]

I draw with 25g 1’ needles and administer with 29g slins. You have to be lean enough to do so, but I have far less issue with PIP this way. Not recommended for everyone, but it can work fine.

Same here.

But this is a pretty fat forum, so . . .

Is this a real concern if the rubber top is swiped with alcohol swab?

Since diabetics, peptide users, dont switch needles etc.

I mean, what I listed were reasons of concern, wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't one. This concern is obviated e.g., the way Mac does it, but most just draw and admin. with the same slin pin, and with oils that use benzyl alcohol rather than chlorbutanol in combination with subcutaneous leaks as 5scoops mentioned, infection risk is great. Multi-use vials are generally more conducive to infection generally; yes, alcohol is a disinfectant. Yet people that swab their multi-use vials get abscesses all the damn time (because of the multiple factors at play that combine to and increase risk).

I think the main distinction between peptides (e.g., insulin) and AAS are that the latter are particularly toxic (even endogenous T is a toxic compound that the body must metabolize and excrete, and those resistant to such are highly toxic [e.g., Superdrol, methyltren]) & highly polar (hydrophobic), so were it not for sterile oil vehicle, they tend to be immunogenic & inflammatory (i.e., increase C-reactive protein; e.g., AAS that "crash" out of solution like 1-Test ["DHB"]).
