22g 1.5 inch needles

[madmax1974]

Hey guys i usually inject with 22g 1.5 inch, but i came up to a post around here that some of you guys use 25g so i ran to the pharmacy to get me some but they only had 1 inch long needles, does it matter, are they long enough??

Nothing wrong with 22g, I use 23 g and I shoot twice a week for life.

[madmax1974]

i have used 18g before then went to 22g and they are not that bad but if the 25g 1 inch long does the same i will go for that.

I stick with the 23G 1 1/2 and draw with an 18G.

[madmax1974]

yea, i draw with the 18g also faster and easier

I use 23 gauge 1 1/2, 25 gauge if you have a thick oil could take a while to draw. 1 inch probably good to inject in thighs and shoulders, glute probably not long enough.

I hear it is nicer to draw with an 18 gauge switch pins for injection. That it is possible for the pin to get dull when you draw.

Thanks knownutz, thats what i wanted to know, 25g 1inch for thighs and shoulders and stick to the 22g or go get me some 23g 1.5 inch for the glutes.

It depends how lean you are. I use a 25g 1inch for everyplace. There is no reason to go 22 or 23. Just more scar tissue.

Yeah i really never thought bout the scar tissue... I was going to try 23g for next cycle but i have so many 25g pins left over from last cycle that ill just stick with 25 (they are new in the packaging). Only thing with 25g is it takes longer to inject then a 23g IMO but seriously what is 2 more seconds..

[madmax1974]

Well i weigh 190 and im 5,7 waist 32, fat around 11 %. and the scar tissue is the reason i want to try 25g.

I draw with 22 and stick with 25ga 1"

[madmax1974]

Ima******ger, even for the glutes?

I believe if body fat is low enough 1" is fine for glutes, I'm very lean. If bf isn't quite so low then 1.5" for glutes would be better.

[madmax1974]

Ima******ger, my body fat is 11% what do you think, stick with the 22g 1.5 inch for the glutes or try the 25g 1 inch, just want to make sure that it goes in deep enough.

[Big]

Better safe than sorry, so I'd stick to the 1.5" if you already have them.

I actually rarely shoot glutes, I like quads, delts, bi's and chest as my primary spots.

[madmax1974]

Ok, thanks for the advice.

[IMBIGRU]

i use 21x1 and do most my injections in the delts!! some one told me everyone is using smalller gage now?? like 25

[fugazy]

25 gauge sucks, it takes so long to inject. 22 or 23 is the way to go. 18g is great to load but is to big to shoot, i call them harpoons. i use 23g for everything except my chest, i use 25g 1/2 inch for that.
