    Going to be running my very first cycle of Test E. Wanted to know what size syringe is best to use? Any general tips on injections?

    I chose to go with quad injections for my first cycle. they are easy to get to and allow the use of both hands quite easily. so far ive only done quads and i love it. once you do the first shot, its really easy. I've been using 20g to draw and 23g to inject. I use a 1 1/2" pin to inject but only go 2/3 in which is 1"

    Thanks for the responses, fellas. Another question, why do you use different gauge needles for drawing and injecting? Can you just use one?

    Last question, do you replace the syringe with a new one everytime you inject or can you re-use a syringe a couple times?

    Use a different needle because it's easy to draw with a large one but prolly isn't something you wanna stick yourself with, personally i draw and stick with a 23g, but i still swap because the needle dulls going through the stopper into the vial. Syringes are cheap, no reason not to use a new one every time.

    You should use a larger needle to make it easier to draw the oil from the bottle. It takes a while to go through with a smaller pin.

    Yes, use a new syringe and needle everytime you inject.

    I say use a 25g if you can handle the slow injection. It is worth the lack of developing scar tissue in my opinion.

    i like 23g 1 1/4" for ass and 25g 1" for legs, 25g takes a bit longer but worth the effort

    new pin everytime bro. you def don't want an infection. you use the bigger needles to draw with because it goes faster. i use a 25g 1 inch to inject with and i don't feel a thing while i'm shootin. just go really slow. i like to do my quads cause they're really easy. always aspirate before you shoot. use this spotinjections.com as your guide.

    I couldnt inject my test e wiht a 25g needle. sorry, i COULD, but my first two shots using a 25g needle took about 6 minutes each. The stuff would only slightly drip out in the muscle.

    I started using a 23 to draw and a 23 to shoot, and it worked fine.
