Re-Filtering Gear?

I have only ordered from naps once.....3 GP tes e, 2 GP mast. got my order, gear pretty smooth, etc etc. this was a few yrs back

But since that time i began re filtering everything i get. I started cuz i got so-so quality and needed to clean it up but now i just do it out of habbit and self assurance.

I will be ordering some GP and Gen Shi stuff and am wondering if i will just be wasting time/money by doing it??? just want to make sure its as smooth as possbible.

And the cut stack by Gen Shi.....ik thats stuff is going to hurt....?? a waste or decent idea on re filtering?

i know gen shi is great quality but not sure how smooth.. on the other hand gp is the smoothest stuff i have ever pinned

I talked to a guy running the cut stack and he said the pins hurt bad. not sure if hes just a bitch or if the stuff is really painful....3 short esteres cant feel nice.

Ive rah Gen Shi, Smooth as button if you pin in you quads. I think its down to the pinning area as well as the individual. Personally I like the pain

OptimalCruz, you are a nut! I must be a wanker, 'cause anything that reduces the amount of pain I feel is fanf#%*ingtastic!

Any refiltering of gear from either of those guys is definitely a waste of time and effort. Both are time tested and very high quality. I've personally known dozens of people who've used both with no issues. No chance of fakes either if you get it from naps. Reputation is flawless for as long as I've known of them. (Late 2009)

Switch up pin sites often to avoid lumps and scarring which just make it harder and more painful to pin later. Also, I like to inject very slowly once I've established a good spot.(No IV) Depending on ester and volume, sometimes I'll take a full minute to completely inject. Make sure you're not using anything bigger than 21ga. I know guys who get away with as small as 25 if you have that kind of patience. I myself do not. Good luck
