Can you inject too fast with a 25 guage, or can I push as hard as I like?

I guess you could go as hard as you like, anything oil based is going to take a while though. What are you injecting?

a 25 gauge is gonna make it tough to inject..if ur tryin to inject as quickly as possible..i read somewhere to inject like 3/4 cc at once then pause..

**broncojosh** · 05-06-2002, 08:56 PM

eq/sus 2cc at a time, and timed it today...4 minutes!!! I'm thinking because the needle is so small, maybe I could just push like hell...

i injected test depo in my boy last night just 1 cc..and it took a couple minutes with a 23 gauge..i can imagine how long it would take with a 25

just inject slowly and apply enough pressure to keep the plunger moving slowly....4 minutes is a little long for me.....i personally inject 1cc pause for about 15 seconds then continue for another cc and so on....it takes me about 2 minutes to inject 3cc's....i use a 23g most of the time....

so i need to just push harder..there isn't any real pain, it's just a pain in the ass, no pun intended, waiting

I was injecting the same into the delts. It took me no where near 4 min. closer to 1. You can definitely push harder.

I was also using a 25guage

What's the rush, take your time and just listen to your muscle if you will.Sounds kinda lame but works for me.Yeah the process taked up to 30 seconds but well worth it.I always use 25's and insu. pins and no complaints whatsoever. .02

ROOKIE22, you injected 2cc with a 25guage needle in a minute...shit, i guess i was going way too slow

25g 1" or 25g 1.5"? That makes a big difference!

I use 25g 1" for quads and 23g 1.5" for glutes. Squeezing oil through a 25g 1.5" would take just about forever. (That translates to 4 minutes on my clock.)

As for time, I push the whole thing in at once, in about 10-20 seconds and I don't feel like I am forcing anything...

it takes that long it hurts my fingers when pushing sometimes

what is the ideal size needle for fina?

**broncojosh** · 05-07-2002, 09:57 AM

i've injected fina with a 25 guage. I'm using 25 guage 1" by the way

Yes you can inject too fast with a 25g. I did 3ccs in about 45 seconds. I have no idea why, I just started shooting it and never thought about slowing down. Anyways, my ass was so damn sore!

From now on I try to at least take a minute and a half for a 3cc shot, and I will also warm up the gear under water first.
