@cf@todon.eu another drawback is that the needle gets (slightly) blunted when piercing the vial seal, so you get a slightly less neat and slightly more painful injection.

    @hazelnoot@enby.life This is true in theory, though, at least from personal testing, We haven't been able to observe a practical difference until at least the fourth time of pushing the needle in somewhere. When We were new to injecting We used to think that's a bigger problem that We keep running into, but after a year or so of experience We stopped having such issues occur, so We suspect that it mostly comes down to skill and the needle getting noticeably blunter is more a procedural issue than it is an inherent one. Kilometerage will vary, of course, but at least at Our current experience We have completely painless injections more often than not, and even at its worst there's only so bad it can get with a 30G needle, at least one that's not too dull to penetrate skin in the first place, which also did happen to Us. Probably should make a guide on how to deal with that situation some time soon.
