CFRD needles for pen problem

So, this happens to me all the time, but I thought maybe I just had a bad bunch of needles. I don't think that is the case anymore. Anyway, when I prime the needle on my Novopen and try to squirt out the two units, nothing comes out. So, I try again--still nothing. So, I try turning it to 10 units or more, and again nothing comes out. So I try a new needle. Repeat of above. At some point I find success, but this is ridiculous. Does this happen to anyone else? This doesn't happen every time, btw, but frequently.

This has happens to me but not very often...A new needle always solves the problem for me...Have you tried using a different pen or using needles from a different box? Good luck!
