It seems so **** confusing.. could someone please run it down for me? I'm new, so please dont hesitate to give me as much info as possible.
What are the gauges for needles, and which ones hurt more than others? (I heard something about that.. no idea though.)
where do you want to inject?
oil only passes on 21 or 22 gauge that is what I use
I use oil in a 23 guage and it's fine...a little slow, but it works
I want to inject into my glute

I like to use a 23 guage to draw and 25 guage to inject.
1.5 inch for the a$$ and 1 inch for everything else

Draw the steroid from the vial into the syringe
I use a 23 g 1 1/2" for my butt and a 23 g 1" for my quads.
A 25 g takes too long and I don't really get sore from the rate that I get from a 23 g.
When you inject, you use TWO needles-- one to pull the material into the syringe, you then change it to the second that you use to inject. (Keep that in mind when you are buying pins for your cycle.)
Somewhere on this site are pix of a needle that was used to draw material. It is amazing how dull and deformed they really are just going thru rubber.
Nice sharp needle = no pain.
Take the oil from the amp with a 21g, change the needle (its blunt now and not sterile) and use either a 21g (green) 23g (blue) or 25g (orange) [21g being the biggest, 25g smallest] to inject the oil. None are any less painfull than the other. However the smaller the needle the longer it takes to inject, but in the long term it cause's less scar tissue. I prefer to inject with either 21g or 23g in my shoulders and glutes. I've used 25g for my biceps but thats along way down the road for you.
I have shot oil with a 25ga. It is like watching paint dry, it is so slow, but it is do-able. The trick is holding the rig steady for such a long time. If you wiggle a 25 around, you cause more damage than a solid shot with a 21ga. A 23 is a good compromise. Goes in quite nicely, for glute shots. You don't even feel it. Takes a minute or two to squeeze out a 3cc shot, but no biggie.
I hit my delts the other day with prop and fina with a 23... NEVER AGAIN!!! From now on, site injections with 25ga, for me.
19 gauge to draw and 23 to juice the glute
