Anyone have prob with aratest locking the plunger?

Every time I load a pin with aratest, it seems to glue the plunger in the barrel.

Hard to move the plunger with a needle on or off! Takes a freakin spotter to give a shot. I swear I am doing away with upper body workouts on shot days!

Ohhh the pump!?)

never heard of that problem with either, are you heating the oil? that may be it.

I am using Aratest right now. When I do spot injections I use the same needle twice and have noticed that the second time it doesn't seem to be as easy to draw the liquid or push down the plunger. But I haven't had it stick like you are describing. What size needle are you using? Later

I am using a 3cc with a 1inch 23ga.

23guage X 1" is what I use for site injections. I only use 1ml with 1ml of Metandiabol and 1/2ml of Deca, so maybe its working easier for me because I have other oils in there to. I think I would try a 22 guage instead. When I start heving problems pushing the plunger, like with susp or winnie, I start shaking teribly. So I always try to make sure that I am not going to have any problems after I stick myself. So I went to larger needles when neccesary. Thats why I use 21 guage in my glutes. Its hard enough to inj there without shaking like a 90 year old lady on crack. LOL, Later

You dont understand, I am talking with the needle off! This crap is so squeeky like, that the plunger feels like it is squeeking new tupperware!

A barrel is free moving until that stuff hits it.

put a few drops in a barrel and take the pin off and see what I am talking about.

I am pretty sure it is the deca, and not the aratest.

sounds like it may be loaded with alcohol, does it hurt? something doesnt sound right!

Nope, dont hurt or nothin. I just tried it with a fresh bottle, it does the same thing.

Oh well, Im seeing gains, so I guess I aint worried! hehe

I was just wandering if this was normal.:1book:

Well that is really strange to say the least. I have no idea what the problem is, but it shouldn't be happening. I have used both Terumo and B&D syringes with Aratest and never had that problem. Sorry, but I am completely in the dark on this one. Later
