Synthetine question

staticman13 · Sep 30, 2010

Are you guys refrigerating your synthetine after your first pin? I've been on it for about two weeks with no issue. Monday I shot and had pain in all three injection sites until today. The last 2 weeks I had no pain whatsoever. On a side note I draw with a 20 gauge and when I tilt the bottle upside down I notice that it drips out the hole.

sucks they use such a terrible top to their product. u would think they would think a little more before picking those. use a smaller gauge needle to draw, its water based why you using a 20g?

Nope, no refrigeration needed. It's fine at room temperature.

Also what are you doing with a 20g pin? I draw out with 23g and have no leakage whatsoever.

A lot of thought has gone into those tops. Think legality.

Draw it with a 25-27g , CHANGE THE NEEDLE and shoot it with a 27-30g , never had any problems when i did it.

those tops are great and won't leak if a smaller pin is used

Last time I ordered I got 20 gauges to draw my t500 with because its so thick. Thanks for all the replies. So should I worry about the painful injection sites as possible indications of contaminated product?
