The syringe plunger problem

Soo uhh... Has anyone else ever had this happen? Where you get a new syringe and the plunger is stuck at first so you have to push a little harder to get the first cc out? Well I guess while taking forever to push down the plunger, all of the spores settled at the bottom. So I went ahead and injected not even one cc, but it ended up squirting almost all of the bigger spores into my lc. Is this a bad thing other than accidentally wasting an assload of spores?

When possible store syringes upside down, or on their side to avoid this problem.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21365919#21365919 there's still plenty in the syringe itself but the LC has too much for sure. Spores are by far the worst possible way to start a LC, and if you are going to make a LC with spores you should use the smallest drop possible so the least amount of spore solution is in the jar. but no I've never had a problem using a syringe before.

That's how I was storing them. They are always stuck for me at first, but the spores in this syringe seemed really big and settled to the bottom quickly after shaking. So when I went to add a drop Of solution it sprayed a bunch in there, not even one cc is missing from the syringe.
Edit
Oh well, liquid culture is dumb anyway I'm just glad I have agar supplies coming in the mail.

You can make up a few more lc's. Swirl the original and use it to noc up the new ones.

Just make sure you give it a good shake after each injection. You will probably still be okay though. The first and only 2 vendor syringes I bought to get started where as cleat as water.... but they obviously had enough spores because they colonized well....
