Mah fellow Luer Lockers, what is the largest guage you use to withdraw?

I thought I would have a nice, easy, time taking out with an 18g, switching to a 31 to stick the old ratasaurus [though he complains I use a 12 gauge to do it].
Noooo, the rubber stopper can't reseal from a puncture that large.

Probably, like bac water, you really shouldn't get close to the fuzzy line BUT I CAN'T HELP IT! What is the largest gauge you use to withdraw?

I use 25g or smaller. I wouldn’t go larger than 23g, but that is just my gut. 18g is like body piercing thickness.

Back when I used pond water a 23g would pull air through prior poke sites, so I went to 27g.
With hospira I’ve only had it do it with 18g, so I use 23g and up.
