doesnt hurt that much more but I'd prefer 25g. Oil based 23g is easier to inject. Water based 25g is fine
i use 23 no pain at all
Yeah, im gonna be using oil-based gear. I guess it depends more on what your injecting than the gauge of the needle, unless your using like a 21 gauge or under...OUCH...
Yea 23g here also..> But then again I used 21g in my delts for the longest time :eek:
I used a 23 for the first time last thurs opposed yo using a 25 which i always have before. I didnt noticed and difference in the pinch but i think i like 25's better because it lets you regulate how fast you can inject the gear. When i stuck myself with the 23 i pushed down on the plunger just like i did with the 25's and all the gear went in like instantaneously it was crazy. lol My left cheek hurts like a mother. Im going to remember that tommorrow :)

I use 22ga for oil, and 25ga for water based
25 gauge for oil based gear is a smart way to go. Like nate said it helps you to regulate how fast you inject it. With 25g you're forced to inject more slowly which in turn decreases post pain/soreness in the long run.
25g can cause more damage than the 23 gauge. You have to press pretty hard to get oil out of a 25 vs: a 23. Remeber that as hard as you're pushing on the needle on the outside is as hard as the meds are going into the muscle. If you push 25 too fast you can actually cause more damage to the muscle internally
been using 22's for my deca and test shootin EOD with the test and 2X week with the Deca, so basically 5x week. Some pain, but learned to deal with it though.
My question is, can I use a 1" insulin for my test, or will it clog from the test being so thinck?
Thanks
I use a 22g in the glutes. No pain.
i use 23 for oil and 25 for waterbase. they feel about the same, but the 25 will give you a little less scar tissue. a 25 would work on oil too,depending on the gear.How thick it is.
