can needles be re-used safely? i am waiting on a box, and today is shot day, maybe i will just wait it out, but thought i could get a few opinions.

not a good idea bro, don't re-use needles... multi-use needles are completely metal so you can sterilize them with heat, you can't do that with single-use needle coz it has plastic part... get a dbol today instead of your shot j/k

|---[\\\\]>------- Plust the fact that it is dull now that you have used it once...ouch! What are you tkaing now? Most likely, your last shot is still in your system and you can wait it out until you get your darts.

I re-use needles but not like you want to do by storing them for another injection/day. I always use a 20g to draw and 1", 25g to inject biceps. Since I'm putting 3cc in "each head," I'll re-use the same 25g for each head - 2 shot during same session/time. I'm careful to not let the needle touch anything and cap it while refilling the barrell.

I'm not cheap - well yes I am, but that's besides the point. I'm taking up to 11 injections ED.

I wouldn't feel safe "storing" used needles because even if you could clean them well, you'd have to keep them in a container that's contaminated. Once the wrapper is opened, its contaminated. And as BBA said they get VERY dull after a couple of pokes - this is assuming that you only use the needle to poke with not draw with. Poking a pin through a vial septum can dull it as much or more than through skin!
