When administering your gear, is it possible not to inject deep enough?
Just done my first shot after 18 months so was a bit shaky as usual, and got to wondering did it go deep enough?
Any advice?

How deep did you go? What size needle did you use and how much did you see sticking up? Your epidermis is quite thick.

I'll have get another needle and have a browse on the packet.
From the pharmacy I always get a B Kit with 10 green (drawing needles) and then 10 Blue (injecting needles).
There was about 5mm still showing.
I’m guessing at least an inch, and 5mm is not much. Unless you have a lot of fat in that area, like a fat big booty, I think you’re fine.
There are particular sizes for particular inj sites.

I injected in the quad.
I've been sprinting for 6 years, so my legs are solid, but I was just a bit weary about depth.
should be fine, read up on the lengths you need for certain sites
If you did inject into your adipose tissue (fat) it will still beabsorbed though much slower an it's shouldnt be unused.
I didn't inject deep enough after hitting a lot of scar tissue once, i injected into the fat and you can tell, there was a lump that stayed for a while and hurt like hell for a few days.
sure its possible

i use insulin syringes for my delts, tris, bis etc and have no problems at all. they are half an inch.
