    Which size do you use

    I asked this in another thread in a round about way. I know which pin size you SHOULD use for ed injects, but what size do you all use for ed injects.

    I hate using the 25 gauge, I would much rather use the 23 gauge.

    I use 25g for everything, 1" and 5/8", depending on the muscle. Why do you hate using 25g?

    I get pain from 1" 25g, none with 23g 1.5". Maybe because I'm shooting deeper into the muscle?

    This is what I am saying too. I get no pain at all using a 23 gauge. I use 1 " unless I am doing the glutes, but still. I would rather use a 23 gauge but I am worried about scar tissue.

    I use 22 gauge 1 1/2" for everything. Only glutes it goes all the way in. Works fine for me.

    I use 22 1-1/2" for glutes and quads and go the entire depth. I use 1" 23 for delts and triceps and also go all the way in. I'll use the 1 " if I ever need to hit my bis or pecs. Intermuscular injections with oil based solution need to be injected deep for me. Otherwise I get lumps or swelling.

    Neck and neck with 7 votes for each choice. Well, I think I will feel a little better using the 23 gauge for now. We'll see if it becomes a problem. Keep on voting guys!!
