Author | Topic: Cleaning Needle | ||
Cool Novice ![]() ![]() Posts: 19 |
I ran out of needles, so I am forced to reuse them for the next few days. If I suck alcohol up through the hole in the needle and just a little is left in the syrenge, will it hurt me if it gets injected in? ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

No, but I suggest you wait for new pins. . .a few days isn't going to affect your progress, even if its something like fina or suspension. . .I would wait an absess will set you back months if not forever. Be careful, not to mention a dull pin is the worst. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I'm not suggesting doing this, but just saying what I do. I've been re-using darts for years. I'll take 4-6 shots with the same one. I stick the whole needle part into alcohol and suck alcohol up into the syringe about 4 or 5 times, shaking it up in there. I let it sit with as little alcohol as possible. Some guys I know let it sit with alcohol in it. I dont and I havent had any problems doing it, but of course I'm very careful, and if my needle does touch something I dont want it to, then I immediately get rid of it ! I often feel the "sting" from wiping the needle with alcohol, and even sometimes a little as its being injecting. You get used to it after so long, and to think, I used to be scared to death of needles, now I'm sticking them in me left and right !!! Peace, ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Yep,alcohol will clean it.I've done it,when I couldn't get needles and it worked just fine. But soon as I was able to get some I stop reusing them. Carecenter deliver overnight!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I did about a dozen shots with one 22g during my first cycle. Not something I'd recommend, but I cleaned it with alcohol between shots and never had any problems other than having to use a sledgehammer to get the fucker in after a while. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Planning, planning, planning. Like many have said before...we should all try to have ALL of the components of our cycle before we start....including darts and ancillary drugs. In the interim, I'm sure it won't kill you to reuse it...but just order some more....try carecenter.com or 2thicks injection site. GoodLuck! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I don't understand some people. How can you pay $1000's on juice but not be able to spare 25 cents for a dart. I get mine in bulk, $20 for 100. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

plifter, if you live in CA, you can't get pins. If you're caught with one(even clean) its your ass. Carecenter won't send here. When you're new to the game and have lameass sources, shit like that is hard to come by for many. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I agree with Thaibox. I'm in california, and you can't get shit for pins here. When I was new to this, I had plenty of sources for gear, and pins were the hardest thing for me to find. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Sucks for bros in CA. I couldn't imagine re-using a pin personally. I would find a way to get some more personally - as long as it took. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

If you need a few to get you over the hump until you buy more leave a message. I'll send you a few. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I think we all have had to reuse once in awhile, and damn that hurts when you get to 4 shots with the same needle. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Nah, i've never had to resuse and never would. I'm a pretty sterile person when it comes to that. I don't want to fuck around and get a damn infection. That needle has got to hurt going in after multiple injections.. i've hit a vein before and pulled out to stick it in another area and it was already dull and hurt like a bitch... How can you stick yourself 12 times with the same needle when they are so damn cheap? LOL!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Now that I'm a little more competent than I was then, I have a good source for pins. And, I always keep plenty around. So I don't even reuse once anymore. But, being in CA, dude's are always asking me for pins because they're so hard to get for everybody here. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

SHIT NO. Your situation is not desperate. If it was then yea go ahead. Wait a few days and get new ones you will never miss a thing. And for all of you Alcohol will only kill e-coli. There is a huge number of pathogens that the weak ass shit won't touch. Most bacteria, viruses and living pathogens laugh at methanol and ethanol. You would need to soak the hardware in the stuff for hours. If that is what you want put the hardware in a tupperware container full of alcohol and peroxide and cover it and place it in the fridge. ------------------ If you enjoy it today you can always do it again tomorrow. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Damn, I didn't know darts were such a problem in CA. I can just go to the K-mart pharmacy and buy them for about a quarter ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
Cool Novice ![]() ![]() Posts: 29 |
Yeah man, I remember them days when the darts were hard to find.....thats how I got into re-using.....some of these posts will kinda scare the shit outta you, with very good reason too..... All cause I know how to re-use successfully doesnt mean I'd advise it, actually, I'd condon it. Still growin' ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

i wouldn't use it more than 3 times dam needles get dull fast and i've done the alcohl thing too. i would suggest waitng for new pins. i've been lucky so far haven't hit anything or had any infections. Just love the day when i have to pin myself look forward to every week. lol ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
