    23guage too small?

    i've been looking to purchase 22ga 1" needles. I see the 23ga 1.5" is the best seller at AR-R. Is 23ga a better needle???

    ok, thanks for the info. I've never done it that way. does the 23 draw oil-based very well?

    get the 23 guage 1.5 inch... they will be fine for both, drawing and shooting in the quads and glutes, i hope you don't plan on using those for spot injections like delts, bis, or tris... ur gonna need 25guage 1 inch for spot injections...

    what brand are you using IGB? i find a 25ga takes too long to inject, in fact depending on the brand sometimes a 23ga is too small. i find there is a difference between brands. i hate standing there all day long mashing on the plunger... i mean, when it takes 3 minutes to inject 3 ml and your thumb is sore when you're done it's a bit ridiculous! i find that a 21g turumo is ideal, but a 22g b-d seems to big.
