Would you Jab with inch and a half pin?

**BigHuman** · 10-30-2006, 01:22 AM

Hey

So I always use an inch pin when I jab my gear.

I do spot injections in Chest, Triceps, Delts.

Now thing is my needle exchange has closed down for few days as they are doing work to the place.
And Ive run out of inch pins!

I have lots of inch and a half pins left, which are what I use to draw the juice in the barrell with.
Then I always switch to the inch pin for my jab

My question is for these few days until it opens, do you think its ok to jab with the inch and a half.
I know its only half and inch more , but looks so much bigger then the inch im used 2.
I dont want be using them to jab in my chest,delts,triceps if its going cause any problems.
Any advice please
Thanks

yes you can use them BUT the more important question is; can you keep your hands steady at the site with partial penetration? (you wouldn't want to go 1.5 inches deep into the chest, tricep or delt areas...you'll hit bone

)

my suggestion would be to shoot in the glutes and quads for the duration that you have these needles...these two areas allow for a deeper penetration of the needle with lesser complications

cheers

Is not the long of the needle,is how deep you go.

Cut .5" off the pin cap and slide it down
over the 1.5" pin.With that,you can focus
on the shot,and not worry about going too
deep.Call it a simple depth gauge.The cut
cap will not allow the pin to go deeper.

I have used a 1.5 inch pin for every cycle and every shot, no problems

**plzr8** · 10-30-2006, 11:16 AM

IMO:

1" glutes,delts,quads
0.5" tris,chest

unless you are pretty "meaty", you can bump the glutes to 1.5"

this is what works for me

always use 1.5 in glute and quad , use same for delts but only put in 1 inc. no problem.

I jab glute with 1.5's but only go down about an inch

Here's a pic to show what i've been
doing for my quad shots.It took too
long 2 shoot using 25ga 1"pins,so Im
now using my 23ga 1.5" as pictured.

Exacly what I do when I need a 1" pin and only have 1.5s... Perfect solution if you don't want to change site of injection.

There's also something quite comforting
about that short needle going in vs the 1.5's

What I used to do is mark the cap on the pin were you want to stop at the skin then take the cap off then cut it so when you put the cap back on the pin it'll work as a reducer and will only let you go as far as you cut down on the cap.Simple fix bro don't sweat it I only could get 1.5's at one point
