Pinz Disapointed

Well been buying from them awhile now and have started to notice,only after seeing one you tend to check more.Man i got bent ones and most of them if you look close are all pitted up along the sides..Hell some are dull right out of the package.Now the fucked up ones i save for glute because anywere else would sux.So i am saying there selling resharped needles there.Maybe thats why there so cheap.When the quality is bad the risk goes up in my eyes.
So anyone know any other places that sell pins of good quality? Been using BD brand...
 
I think he's referring to GetPinz. I've used them three times now (actually just ordered again last night) and have had a few bent pins and some dull ones. I'm guessing their dull because some go in real smooth and some hurt like hell just breaking the skin.

Overall I'm still very happy with them.
 
Damn I just got an order from getpinz myself and the one shot did hurt like a mother fucker- I'm going to have to check them out
 
I just placed an order with GetPinz last night. When the order gets here, I'll check it out, and compare to pharmacy-purchased BD's, and post my observations.
 
yes its getpinz i been geting the BD brand i figured the hospital uses them they would be good.Yes some hurt like hell my women calls them burs on the needles..Yes some place resharping,i cleaned at a hospital and seen a can that was recycleing the needles.Now i am not saying that pinz is doing this be cause i cant be sure,they could be rejects also..But the pits i seen in my batch of a 100 are very visable with the eye that means you will sure feel it going in and you sure dont want to use that in a leg!
Also some have been bend to almost a curve they smart to but slows the blood leaks lol....Maybe ill try to take a picture and show what i mean.When i pull a needle out of a freash pack i want it to look new,not like someone put it threw a grinder!
 
Scan and take pictures bro! We all want to see what you mean!

Aslo im sure they will be happy to replace them if you got some bad ones.

GPZ= good guys

No kidding, that's about the dumbest thing ever posted.

Anyone having a problem should do the logical thing and contact the company in question.

I am not going to beat this thread in the ground..I only asked for a better place to buy from! As far as pins being recycled yes they do ask around! They are reused for and sharped for vet use.Also rejects are sold to vets also which mostly is what i been geting..If i could show you,the tune would change then! As far as calling the dealer thats a plum waste if you got any sence they will send more and the trouble over 11 or 20 bucks aint worth it!
In times when you need pins you take what you get,but bent,bured,pitted is just bs..and for the record i got a few pm's that have also had the same problems also...and i bet now ppl will start paying attention and will learn what i say is true! Enough said ill order from our sponsor here....
 
What in the hell is a resharpened needle? That does not even sound right or sanitary. I get my needles from getpinz all the time 23 guage 1 inchers and they are perfect every time. You must be ordering some generic shit from them if they are bent and dull. I never heard of that. Are you sure you are not making them dull when you draw from your vials or ampuoles? The only brand you should purchase from them is the B-D's.

thats who i use and have been happy from day 1....i have heard nothing but good things about GPZ so im assuming that perhaps they got a bad batch from the manufacturer, email them and im sure you will be taken care of...

have always used terumos and never had 1 bad one....lucky i guess
 
For the record ozz is spot on. I've received bent BD pins from GP. I ordered 100 23 gauge syringes with pins and an additional 100 25 gauge pins. I had the problem with the 25 gauge ones. Some bent over, some that hurt like mad getting through the skin.

Granted it wasn't all of them, maybe 5 or so out of the 100. I still order from them and am very happy overall. I just ordered again the other night.
 
funny this should be posted. i use getpinz.com and have always been thrilled with service and produce. my most recnet order i have noticed it is much hard to inject with 25 g 1.5 inch with tren AND test. also , tmany have bent easily while in glute.
 
I have noticed some pain injecting also i just assumed it was hard to break the skin due to scar tissue-this is disappointing news

YUP terumo is regarded as the worst quality in the medical community

says who?

Not that I doubt you I'm just curious how you know this. I would throw out there that BD is #1, and everyone else is next. Sherwood, Terumo, whatever.

I sell medical and I grab boxes from stock to use personally for me and my crew. BD is the most expensive and highest quality you can purchase. Unless maybe you really ARE somehow buying rejects...which I highly doubt. They would be disposed of on the manufacturing sight and that would be it.
 
Idunu i never had a problem with them. Great service. Great prices. Great pins.

Im a Terrumo man. No complaints. Maybe their late batch is bad or something. If you have a problem im sure they will correct it simple.
 
checked mine last night and got terumo.... everything looks up to par with me.... i've only ever used terumo and never a problem (knock on wood)
 
It would be an interesting experiment to put a handful of these pins under a microscope. If there were any burs or pits on them, it would show up very easily. Maybe use BD and Terumo in comparison.
I always use GPZ to order pins and yes, I've noticed a few rough ones when injecting also. I used to use BD exclusively. My Ex-girlfriend worked @ a hospital and used to bring me home care packages. BD is def a better quality needle imo. But hey, the price is right @GPZ and I usually get my package within 3 days. So I guess I'll put up with 5 bad out of 100.

Good lord .... almost sounds used.

Be careful Ozz man.
 
I have never had a problem with a pin from getpinz.com. Every one looks and works exactly as it should.

A common source of injection pain when breaking the skin is simply not waiting long enough for the alcohol to dry. It needs to *completely* evaporate, leaving totally dry skin, or the injection will hurt.
 
Its not breaking the original skin that tells you how the pin is. Its how it goes thru the muscle. I have never had a problem with dullnes from Terummo unless i was low and used same pin to suck, transfer and then shoot. I recomend 1.5 18g for drawing. And 25g 1" for shooting.
 
Dude, go to a drug store and get some they have to give free ones to you if you promise to bring back the used ones. Don't use getpinz even a sex clinic have to give them to you..
 
researchlabsupply.com has pinz cheap the thing I like about them is you can buy any quanity you want instead of the set quanities from most other places I was getting my pinz local at the pharmacy but it turns out they are a little bit cheaper at RLS not to mention they arrive at my door in 3 days you should check them out they are top notch in my book
 
If there is a safety issue here we need to get to the bottom of it now. People are upset because the needles hurt?? I think the question that should be going through everyones mind right now is are they sterile?? I am not making accusations , but if there is an issue we need to know asap! This is serious buisness. I noticed that a 23g 1.5 was bent too.
 
Someone post up a pic. Remember pins are sealed in a tamper proof/evident plastic contaienr with lot#, id, and expiration date. If that is not oppen they are sterile.
When did you guys get these pins that they are bent. I have yet to see jack.
 
This thread is funny and scary at the same time. "Resharpen" needles would be the cheap of the cheapest things in the world! I'm sure that happens in mexico or south america but here? gimme a break...I'm gonna check every single needle under the magnifying glass from now on..
 
I have noticed the quality of pinz products is not what it used to be.
Finding 1 1/2 23g are bent and burred.
I don't thing they are resharpening anything just poor manufacturing and quality checks...
get what you pay for I guess.
 
I will test out some new ones from them and let you guys know. I will post pictures and results.
 
Anyone with problems post the problem and lot#....also post the expiration date and type of pin and company.

Let me clarify what I meant by "bent". I have around 25 23g 1.5 terumo syringes with needles attacched. If you take some of the un-opened ones and hold em up and look at em you can see that the end of some of the needles are just about touching the side of the protective sheath. When you open them and rotate the syringe you can see that the needles are not straight. Either they are bent , or the metal part of the needle is straight but it is not mounted (glued) in the plastic part 100% straight. This may just be due to variances in the manufacturing process. (I hope) Other than this the pins are perfect. They are made in usa & have a lot # that could be checked. I hope I did not add fuel to the fire, but when I saw the word "resharpened " I almost shit my self..

I've seen junkies resharpen their needles on the striker of a matchbook. I guess if you're willing to share anything goes???
 
Got my discreetly shipped box of 100 today from androusa at noon or so. Express mail-no sig. needed-heard my doorbell and they were sitting on my porch. I love when that happens! Going to spot inject bis later-will post feedback.
 
Yet to see anyone post up pics of the bad ones. I would like to see what you guys are talking about. I have used GPZ for a long time and never any problems. As far as the pin touching the side this may be due to poor shipiing practices or a droped container etc and many getting pressure applied uppon/ smashed. Just my 002.
I hope someone can post a pic, as im not expecting any any time soon.

This is the case with some of my pins. Yeah the needle is straight but if it's mounted at an angle, then it goes in at an angle, causing all kinds of tissue damage.

I've had some where the tips were bent. Those are the ones that hurt like hell going in.

Also, I noticed it the 25 gauge pins alone that are the problem. They are Terumo brand. The BD syringe and needle are fine, but I use them to draw with then discard them and put the 25 gauge Terumo on for injection.

Take it easy bro, some of us cant just whip out a needle and syringe at the kitchen table and take a pic. These things are a delicate operation that take time, if you get my drift...
 
My guess on the sub quality pins is that they're the rejects/throw aways from some major RX supplier's quality control dept. They're likely meant for resale at a reduced rate for vet use in 3rd world countries or something? However, I'm sure they won't be too particular about who actually purchases them so any shmo could open up shop selling imperfect darts online at full price. Caveat Emptor.(buyer beware)

I went to walgreens and bought one piece BD syringe & needles. Upon inspection I found that they had the same issues. I noticed that you can move the sheath sideways without opening the package and this will make the needle close tho the side of the sheath even though it is straight. So in summery the terumo's I got from gpz look about the same as the bd's I got from walgreens. The bd's may be a little nicer (better quality control) than the terumo's , but most people expect that. But the turumo's I got from gpz are fine. Sorry if I alarmed anyone. Also I have to say that I recieved my package from gpz in 2 days, so they have good service imo.
 
I used my androusa ones yesterday-smooth sailing-seemed like a decent quality product. The only thing I thought was strange was the box the were delivered in. It was shaped like a box a nice shirt would come in-not a cube like I expected.
 
I've had a few needles that were CLEARLY bent at the base of the needle. I still injected with them because the shaft of the needle was strait.

I have had one tip that was bent and it felt like i tried to get a ballpoint pen in my leg. When I pulled out the needle the tip was buckled over completely.

I haven't had enough problems to stop me from ordering from getpinz however.

Hard to believe they don't even bother to tell you what brand the products are on their site though. :confused:

I'm sure they purchase different brands in bulk reguarly so it doesn't make sense to advertise any particular brand.

Well I just used a 25g bd & it hurt way more than the 23g terumo! The terumo was painless & the bd burned.The needle on the bd looked less smoth & polished than the terumo too. So I guess it comes down to what ever you feel comfortible with. The 25g is kinda hard to get oil through anyway (warmed too).
 
boy this thread sure got a lot of responses. getpinz better getacttogether or were gonna have to getanothersupplier. :o

Hey Bro, if it burned that likely is from the alcohol that you cleaned the injection spot not being fully dry yet, not the needle.
