I used BD Autoshield Duo 30g 5mm Safety Needles. Occassionally had a few (not that many) which didn't appear to work with pressure activation. Not too sure which needles your using or the issue your appearing to have with them. BD Duo needles are supposed to be universal however appear to fit the novarapid pens better. for echo pen 6 (using fiasp cartridges) never had an issue, which has simular activate time to novarapid alongside appeared to work a touch faster (for some reason or another)

Are you sure you're screwing them on your pen tight enough?
If not, the back end of the needle doesn't reach the insulin through the rubber.

I’ve been using BD needles for years only problem I get is them getting blocked as I don’t change them every time I inject.
