    I use a 23g. everywhere.

    1.5 inches in Glutes and Quads and sometimes delts.

    1" everywhere else.

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. This question is always posted. Honestly just go with whatever you want. The gauge does not matter AT ALL, ya lower gauge may cause more scar tissue but it wont matter for the actual injection other than pain. Length...doesnt really matter either, just put it in far enough so you are deep in the muscle. I have used 22g 1.5' in every site before.

    I would say that the most common pin is probably a 23g. I have yet to use a 25g. pin, but I am not opposed to it except that I heard that it takes a lot longer to get the oil to run through it which I would expect. That would probably drive me nuts. But then again, probably get less scar tissue with a 25.
