Preloading pins for a week?

Has anyone here ever preloaded pins for say a week? Or longer? Wanted to get people’s thoughts on setting up for the week. I usually prep everything on a Sunday, load for Monday Wednesday Friday. That way I can use one 18ga draw needle for 3 barrels. I pin new 23ga on each barrel. I just wanted to make sure that’s clear. New barrels. New needles for each barrel. Now I’ve done this for a while, no problems. I’m very careful. I prep the surface I’m working on with alcohol. Wash hands throughly with antibacterial soap. Wipe vial with alcohol pad. Draw for the week. Cap with new Pin and do not break cap seal. Pack barrel in needle in package. And place in a locked, clean barrel holding container. Kind of like the Mexico pre loaded idea. But I know who’s done the prep. 😂. Anyways. Anyone else do this or am I living dangerously. FYI. Been doing this for years. Helps me prepare each week and keep my logs straight.
 
The only thing that I know about this subject is that you just have to know what you are pre loading if it was brewed with a solvent like gluicol or even something stronger it can cause the rubber seals to deteriorate into the oil.
I know people that pre load and there ok but it just depends on what you are using
 
I use to preload my stuff for years and no the rubber stopper never had issues. People over think stuff. Now I carry my bottles I need with a needle head to draw out with and my pins for the week. If you’re flying just don’t carry on your person. Never have had any issues. Only problem with preloading sometimes pressure will make them come out leaving a mess not huge but you don’t have full amount you were expecting to inject.
 
you can do it but you should be aware that the solvents will eat away the barrels … it isn’t like pouring raw solvents or anything like that. I tell people to store their vials in an upright position and this one of the main reasons … it is also a reason why I never filled the vials to the top and allowed the stopper to be constantly in contact with the contents. I kind of see it as using a microwave with plastic containers … it may not do any direct harm, you may not see any visual evidence of damage but it is there and I avoid it if I can. I guess the real question as with any of this is are you prepared to deal with the risks and consequences should you experience a side effect. some are acceptable… some are not
 
Thanks that was a good point. I actually store my vials on there side now im honestly going to go and make sure that there all upright. That was something that I never thought about, when it comes to the stopper sitting in your gear for long periods of time.
