Failed at injecting the needle through the N bottle again

[mediocre]

First I had a needle that was too thick now I have ones that are too thin and actually bent when I tried to inject it through the rubber stopper of the n bottle!
Can someone help? I really don't understand.. I've tried to buy them online but you nowhere does it say how thick or thin the needle is!

That's a very long needle. I'm not sure there is a right or wrong size to be honest. I'm surprised that didn't go through though. I reckon if you have more of the same size you should try again. If there's a point on it you probably just need to be a bit more gentle. Maybe try holding your javelin a bit nearer the tip whilst inserting it into the rubber to avoid bending it. Also, word of warning, if you post pics be sure to remove exif data as it can contain identifyable info of your location etc.

surely it has to be long for it to go through the rubber stopper and down into the liquid? a short needle wouldn't touch the liquid. I did try a couple times but it's too thin and it bends so easily! ugh this is so difficult to figure out

Well a needle half that length would be more than sufficient as long as it punctures the rubber. You would insert it, then flip the bottle upside-down and draw out liquid. You must have seen this done on TV right?

I did watch a YouTube video where they did that.. but the bottle they used was much smaller than the n bottle.. and the rubber was much smaller too

Same thing applies though. A short needle will still be able to draw the liquid out if you flip it upside down. I guess it's a case of trying again more carefully with the ones you have or order some diabetics needles as suggested. I know it's a pain. I'll be interested to see what you finawget to work. Are you in the US? Obviously your location will be a factor in what you can easily gain access to.
