which would not be used for a run of the mill insulin injection, correct?


...In just 25 years, we have gone from using 16-mm-long(about 5/8ths long) needles that were much thicker in diameter to 4- to 8-mm needles that are very thin (and practically pain-free). But do shorter needles work as well in people with more body fat? Yes, they do. Recent studies using ultrasound to measure skin thickness at four different sites on the body showed there is minimal variation in skin thickness regardless of a person’s age, gender, race, or body mass.

Most people have a skin thickness of less than 2.8 mm, which means that even shorter 4- or 5-mm needles will penetrate the skin and reach the subcutaneous tissue. If insulin is injected with a longer needle (over 8 mm), the chance of injecting into intramuscular tissue is greater. That causes more pain and variation in insulin uptake (and thus in blood glucose levels). The width, or gauge, of a needle has more to do with pain than does the length.

I was confused as well. I know nothing about diabetic needles but when I first read that my thought was that’s a long azz needle and he was inserting through the foot. Rereading it to me it sounds like he doesn’t shove just the needle into the cap of the cigar but also the plastic part that holds the needle to the base of the tube that holds the liquid. So only the first 1.5 to 2 inches of the cigar past the cap is “infused”

Lmao

Of course you can soak some cigars in rum, ‘yac or whatever the **** you want to. Just don’t soak it too long until it gets mushy. You could also use a Parodi cigar or other fire cured cigar that is hard so it will not absorb too much. Do your thang and don’t
Worry about any elitist fuckwads who tell you not to

You should try infusion with ripple instead of rum.

Champipple...

We can call it "cigaripple"!
