<p>I also use hypodermic needles (which I acquired from a nurse former friend) but I don't find that the Protek affects the plunger in mine. I've been using the same one for years - three, at least.</p>
<p>I didn't mention it earlier because mine don't hold Wim's specified minimum.</p>

<div>I've been using Schaff 184, but with a super glue cap, and it leaks. So I want to new one. Which do you guys use, that doesn't leak. I use it a lot here in Hawaii, so it needs to be at least 2 oz.</div>
