Splice / Wirenut question
I pretwisted a splice. Put on wirenut. Later I removed wire nut to test and then used a new wire nut on the splice.
Is it acceptable to use a new nut on a splice like that? Is it any less secure since I tightened and then loosened the nut?
Should I have remade the splice from scratch?

I will commonly reuse wirenuts as long as I can feel them grab the wires. I also pre-twist my wire for a good splice and do not rely on the wirenut for the connection. If not I will discard the old one and put on a new one.
