basic tip on shortening syringe "

Dave_19 · Jul 3, 2003

just simply cut the tip of the cap off to the desired length, its easy to turn a 1.5 -> 1" or 5/8" this way.

Cool...never thought of that.

I guess if you're in a pinch and don't have access to a shorter pin that would work well.

**Explanation: The cap/ lid that comes on the actual pin is plastic. It is the length of the whole needle. If you take it off, snip it in half and put the cap back on the pin, you've just decreased the length of the pin by 50%. See?

That's been around the boards for a few years. Good idea, used it many times for delt and quad shots myself.

I wasn't aware it was around the boards i thought of it myself cuz when i did a bicep shot 2 days ago i was using a 1.5 23 with clen hands going in and out and in out ect....very unsteady, so i decided to snip the stip make the pin shorter so i didnt have try to hold it steady.
