    help with needle guage

    Im new, 1st time for me, I bought a kit with 20 guage needles, Im injecting oils, I just read on this site that 22-24 guage is best for shots. The 20 guage I have looks kinda thick. Are they ok or will they do some damage?
    thanks in advance

    Welcome bro. I def would not use 20g needles to shoot with! I use those to draw with. Needles are cheap so get rid of those. Go with 25g.

    For me I use 18 and 19G to draw and only ever 23G to shoot. 20G is to big dude, you will create a lot of scar tissue after a while. You might find this useful as well How To Inject

    thanks

    thanks guys,
    I will switch to 24 guage for my first shot and see how it goes.
    I know this is probably listed here somewhere, but Im wondering if I can buy new needles at the pharmacy, or do I need to order them online?
    thanks

    It depends where you live, some countries and citys/states have diff laws. I live in Canada so all i have to do is go in a pharmacy and ask what i want and they will get or order for me.
