    Well the length depends on where you want to inject it. For the glutes I use a 1 1/2 inch needle, and I haven't ,but if I were to inject anywhere else I would use a 1 inch. Remember the reason we use long needles is to get past the fat layer and into the muscle. As far as what gauge, I prefer 24g for injecting test e and as big as possible to draw with, usually 20g. If you happen to be drawing from a vial you might want to go a little smaller as not to wear the rubber out.

    you won't wear the rubber stoper out. I use 25 gauge with my test E. It takes a little while to pull out of the bottle but i prefer a smaller size needle becuae it doesn't do as much damage to the muscle when injecting

    I used 22g 1.5 w/ sust
    but, it is easier to draw the liquid out w 18g and switch the tip to 22g. It doesn't even hurt when injecting in the glute.
    However, make sure you put it in straight; dont bend the needle on the way in or out, this WILL make it hurt.

    1" isnt long enough for glutes. get 1.5" pins ASAP or else the juice isnt getting deep enough into your muscles
