Who the fuck said "bad gear?" You did. You. I asked a question. Who's said "worried?" You did. Quit putting words in my mouth. I asked a question and I've pinned test probably 1000 times. I've felt bad pins, I've had PIP, I've used several different sources over the years and many different compounds. I've used different needles lengths and sizes, I've used gear with every carrier oil possible. I know normal pip. This is redness, swelling, high pain and swelling that gets worse progressively for a week. Obviously this doesn't happen to others much, nor me. But a valid question. Almost all of my issues I bring up via private emails. This one posted. And a valid question to ask the other users of the gear rather than a rep or the owner of the company. Don't put words in my mouth.
