Did I order the wrong needles?

**sircharles** · 10-09-2006, 05:48 PM

Im gonna be doing a test-e/deca cycle, injecting both twice a week (in the same needle each time).

I just received my needles in - I went with the 25g 1.0". I plan on doing the majority of my shots in the glutes, maybe switch to the quads everyother week.

Recently I read that if your needle isn't long enough, you inject into fat or in between fat and muscle which can cause killer pain.

Do I need to re-order and go for the 1.5"?

ps: if it needs to be known Im not a real big thick guy. basically im sayng its not gonna take a 5" needle to work on me

25 may be to small.....i shot an 18 1.5. 1.5 would be ideal but i have heard of people shooting 1.0 in the glute

well first off you are going to have fun pushing test and deca through a 25, I have done it, and it takes forever. Go with at least a 23 x 1.5 i'm very lean and not a big guy, but still use 1.5. You can get away with what you have, but they are too small and thin. Hope that helps

I have only ever used 23 1.5 for glutes, works very well. Also I would suggest using a new neddle each injection.

Thanx bros. Just placed another order for (100) 3ml 22g 1.5". damn this sucks. Ive now got like 50 brand new 1.0". anyone know if ebay would allow me to sell these?

18g is way too big...23 in the glutes works perefect.

**Ripdx** · 10-09-2006, 08:06 PM

23G 1.5"long for glutes... 25g 1"long for quads. I've heard of people using 25g in the glute but if you body fat is too high, you won't hit deep enough into the muscle.

I hate to ask, but your not drawing with the same pin are you?

**sircharles** · 10-09-2006, 08:42 PM

No no.....will be drawing w/an 18g. Ordered a ton of those. Use 1 18g needle to draw the deca , 1 18g to draw the test. then use a 22g to inject. throw all of those away and repeat everytime. 3 needles total every injection.

not to expensive either, 100 is only like $13.

safety first w/me

25 gauge is fine for what you got. I use it for test/tren /deca combo that was over 400mg/ml and it was fine. took a little while to get a cc but whats an extra 5 mins when it comes to reducing scar tissue.
what is bf%. 1" is prob ok

I put a big ol chunk of stopper into a vile once becuase I used an 18 gauge. 22g is oversized. do you still have those 1", 25g? you can use those on every muscle. I go w/ 5/8" on quads and delts.

Save the other ones, keep them for a future delt inject.

Its funny you say that. Right after I wrote my other post, I was thinking about that. I think Ill draw w/the 25g (I did a practice test w/one and it doesnt take that long to get my 2CC of gear in it).

My bf% is probably around 9-10%, im slim by nature, but (as gay as it sounds) have a little padding on my ass (girls seem to love it

)

thinking ill keep the extras and use them for drawing/delt injections, and use the 1.5" for glutes. the 18g will be used for my filtering (im converting powder to liquid).
