    switching from 23gauge to 25

    I've always used 23 gauge needles but have read so many great reviews about 25 gauge needles and how they cause less scar tissue. So I figured I'd give it a try. The 25 went in smooth as advertised but i swear it took felt like it took 4 or 5 minutes to inject 2ml.

    To you have used 23 and 25 gague needles do you notice a big difference in the time it takes to inject?

    I noticed a pretty good difference going from 23 to 25. It also doesn't take as much force injecting using a 23 gauge. If I'm shooting 2+ cc's with 25, my hand starts to cramp up.

    It ***ends what your injecting. I usually use a 25G over a 23G. I prefer it taking slightly longer. Less pain in the following days.

    Yes it does shoot slower, for 2.5cc it takes me about a minute.

    Don't feel bad, I've taken about 25 shots with 21g needles this cycle. It's not that bad once you get it through the skin.

    i use 25g 1" for my qauds and with thick gear you gotta push pretty hard. at first i feel like im pushing real hard and the gear doesnt even move. but with 22g or 23g on my glutes the juice just slides in no problem
