is one size needle better than another

I did not even know there was a different size.... I guess the thinner the needle the better to prevent scratching....

yes!!!! The 1.0 kinda hurt so I had to go gently but then it wasn't really puncturing my skin. Then I bought the .5 mm and I was able to run over my face like a steam roller and really tear it up (not bleed). Then I used Bacitracin to speed the healing. People are saying I look younger. I am 72 and Caucasian and blonde, probably my skin is thin. The thinness of my skin might be relevant, so these sizes may not be good for you after all.

The size of the needle. The higher the number the thinner the needle. A 30 or 32 is very comfortable for me.

What fun to be using an antique machine! I'm sure it's challenging, but worth the effort! In answer to your question, Organ sewing machine needles that I purchased are 1 1/2" long. The top 3/4" of the needle (which fits into the needle bar) is flat on one side, but the rest is rounded. I hope that this answers your question. Good luck!

The cables are not different lengths, only the needles are. I bought the 5" needles because that was the length of the ones in my set from KnitPicks, and I liked how that length worked.

That is exactly what I've been using them for in the past year. The needle is a little big for weaving in ends on fingering weight sock projects, but everything bigger than that works great!

Its actually up to you. One size doesn't work better than the other in my opinion. Its all about the quality of the item.

I agree with the other answers. The bigger one is better! It's much more effective than the smaller one.

I am not gonna lie and say "yes" as it's not the same needle we're using. We use some from Walgreens called Super thin Syringes for insulin, 29 gauge, 1.0 mL volume, 1/2" (12.7 mm) needle length. Hope that helps you

I started with a bigger size. The smaller ones are faster and smaller target for someone who has a little more experience. The bigger ones will be easier for you to get the rhythm easier and is still very fast and effective. You just need a lot of patience and practice starting out. Don't give up and you will get it down. Hope this helps.

It's about a 16 gauge needle. There are differences among manufacturers, so hopefully they'll respond with an accurate answer. You can find needle gauge charts on the internet.

I started with .5mm, then 1mm and currently am using 1.5mm. The "discomfort" gets a little worse as you move up to a longer needle length, but doing it in steps makes it a little easier.

Many needles are interchangeable between injectors. I would look for injection needles from a 2 oz injector and see if they fit ok.

For one vial and a few syringes go with the FRIO duo. If youbwantv2 vials and more syringes go with the FRIO large

Yes, size, but a syringe would work a whole lot better. They would probably make a mess. these are more for liquids.

The brand of lancets is less important than the size of the needle on the lancets. The higher the number, the finer the needle. I personally need a #26 or #28 needle in order to get enough blood. Others may do fine with a #30 which seems to be what is shipped with new meters.

I think it is best if you start with 0.5mm because it is safer and not painful and if you like it and get used to it get a replacement head of 1.0mm. Also depends on the areas where you want to use it, use smaller needles as a beginner or to use in gently areas such as around the eyes. hope this helps.

Start with the smallest needle. It takes a while to get used to the feel of the needles. From what I have read, the larger needles are for larger areas such as thighs.
