[QUOTE="Jasen Bruce, post: 4315, member: 14"] #1 is a good enough reason. The increase in regulation regarding testosterone cypionate makes preservation vital to ensure you can get all your injections from a 10ml bottle. If your not careful, you may only get 8 (1ml) injections from a 10ml bottle due to wastage. Some waste is not preventable, but most manufacturers and compounders overfill bottles to compensate. The additional waste comes from needle exchange and not paying attention to detail on the syringe as the cypionate is being drawn. Using the same needle to draw and inject can only be comfortably done as you stated if using a 25g or smaller needle. Anything larger, even a 23g, will be noticeably duller. The image below has circulated for years and I am not sure if the needle presented was injected into tissue or a rubber stopper, but I would think both would be similar (if not the rubber more dulling). Some name brands who use thicker oil, such as cottonseed, may not push through a 25g. Another way to mitigate waste is to use a 1ml tuberculin syringe (with 25g needle) especially when dosing less than 1ml. The 1ml syringe allows you to be more exact with your dose and I personally find it easier to use and inject than the 3ml syringe.
