What do you guys think the best approach to flame sterilizing your syringe needles are?

For syringe whatever gets it glowing red works.
But most of us want whatever does it fastest, especially for tools like scalpels and loops, that you use repeatedly in a session, and most of those are too slow.
Alcohol lamp is good for syringe, its hands free and fast.
I use a propane torch now though. Much faster and easier

Jet/torch
It's quick and accurate. You can shut it off without trying to blow on it.

I use a dab torch. Quick and efficient, but I would use whatever I had at the moment. Doesn’t matter to much in the end if you get it red hot.

It takes too long for a scalpel blade to go red hot in an alcohol lamp. Just use torch. Literally takes 2 seconds to flame A syringe needle to red hot.

They can be found on ebay for $150. New is almost double that. They are lightening fast. Though a torch definitely kicks ass and trumps the other options. And you can smoke meth with it!

The metallic tube is just rolled up aluminum foil initially rolled with the inside tube of a ballpen... you smoke meth on folded (so you end up with a rift at the middle) aluminum foil as well. XD
