Charring on syringe needle
    #23414841 - 07/05/16 07:21 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Last week while knocking up my jars for my first ever grow(pf tek, though not important to my question) i flame sterilized my needle before injecting. The needle charred black and i had to wipe that black stuff off with alcohol wipes. I used a bic. Why did this happen, how can i prevent this in the future?

It does that because the fuel in a BIC doesn't burn clean (butane).  The carbon is sterile so you probably don't need to worry about.

To prevent it some use a propane torch.  I don't know if an alcohol lamp would solve the sooting problem.

After you flame your needle red hot, don't wipe with alcohol. Flame sterilizes, alcohol sanitizes.

:whathesaid:

alcohol lamps do not soot up needles. neither does a butane torch. its just regular lighters that will leave soot. its not a worry in the slightest, though.
