    I just took a 21g! Whats the biggest youve taken?

    I was doing my injections at my workout partners house today, and all we had were 25g 5/8" amd 21g 1.5". I was pissed that he brought the wrong needles and didnt want to drive the hour and a half to go back and get the 23g's, so I said fuck it and used the 21. HOLY SHIT did it hurt! Injection only took like 10 seconds, but I cant believe I had the balls to shove that thing in me! Well, I was just curius what other people felt when they took the "harpoon" sized needle!

    I've done a 20g for over ten years. I think it was out of stupidity now i'm on a 23g or 25g. 20's feel like a freakin harpoon! That was before the internet and where I lived you could not buy them from a pharmacy. Thank god for modern tech! It has saved my ass.

    Why would you use something so big when you can get pins so easy these days? I use 25g for all gear types.... less pain for me the better.

    My Friend used an 18''

    It might sound like a huge difference between 23'' and 18'' but really it isn't. Once you get past the mentle aspect of injecting a turkey baster into your arse there really isn't a huge difference. Peace

    I can't think of a single feasible reason to use a needle as big as 18g. Why would you not avoid excess scar tissue. Aside from boasting that you actually use a needle that big, or to inflate your own ego, it's just ridiculous. Hell, those two reasons are pretty ridiculous.

    I actually saw my workout partner inject a sust rediject with an 18ga. needle. It looked kind of painful just b/c the needle looked so big, but he said he couldnt really feel the difference. I think he was full of shit personally....I wouldnt do it unless i had too.

    I personally like the 22ga. over the 23 or 25, its easier to inject and i couldnt tell a difference in the pain.

    it seems everyone is taking very small pins... i cant even get smaller than 22 easy since syringes are prescription classed in sweden and not that easy to come by...

    dont think 22 hurts that much... just a pinch when it enters, but i think i might would change my opinion if i hade daily injections... (instead of my weekly in the glutes)

    Actually it was a 20g that I took. It was late last night. I started thinking that it couldnt have been that bad because Ive taken 22gs plenty of times. Then I looked at the empty wrapper and they were 20gs. It hurt way more then a 22g.

    18 by mistake. I was using the 18 or "the cannon" to make extraction from the vial faster. I got distracted and forgot to change out to the 23. Ouch!!!

    23g 1" all the way.

    The biggest I've used was 22g, the smallest 25g.

    22 ga 1 1/2" ga for glutes and quads. 23 ga 1" everywhere else. I don't have the patience to try pushing oil through a 25 ga pin.

    20G in the delt - BY MISTAKE. I grabbed the 23G, and when it was time to shoot, I put the 20G on the rediject without thinking.....

    Delt hurt for a while!!!!!

    21g in the calf is the biggest I've done, it wasn't too bad. Although the 23's are much easier.

    Now 18 that's a whole other level!

    25g 1" for every site, or even lower if using water based. Screw big needles, no need for the added scar tissue and pain association.
