    needle size for prop!

    what size needle should i use to inject my prop!...i was thinking of drawing with a 20g and then switching and injecting with the 25g, is this ok? will this eliminate some pain?Also i was considering cutting the prop with b 12? how much b12 should i use and where can i get it, if someone has a website please PM me the website?

    From personal experience what I can tell you is that a 23g pin is sufficient for oil based gear. I don't really think a 25g will ease the prop pain. But if you want to try why not? As far as b-12 cut, I haven't done it so I won't comment on that.

    thats exactly what i use as needles go...

    have u already injected the prop once? u might have painless prop.... and dont need to cut it....

    or u can cut it w/ some sterile oil, u can get a .2 whatman filter, and some grapeseed oil and flter it into the vial, that willl also help...

    I shoot with a 25ga 1'', 5/8'' would be too short in my opinion.
    You should be able to get injectable B-12 from the board sponsor, upper right banner. If they are out just Google it.
    Don't mix the B-12 in the vial, draw however much prop you wish to shoot into the syringe, then draw a small amount of B-12 into the syringe also. Swirl a bit, change the needle, then shoot.

    I have some B-12 I got just for that purpose, but none of my prop has ever bothered me so I haven't needed to cut.

    because some shit takes a year to push through a 25g pin. when you use 22 & 23 you can just squirt that shit right out.

    Ive never had an issue with 25g and don't see the need to go bigger. I guess its just up to the user.

    i agree. I inject everything with a 25. It might take 20-30 seconds.

    Are you really that impatient?
