Question about needles?

**kashalp** · 08-31-2009, 09:10 AM

Hey guys, ok so i was just wondering if 25g needles would be alright for test 400? i know that slightly high but right now i cant seem to find 22 or 23. 21 is available but ouch??? Sorry this is a noob question but im starting my first cycle soon and ive never injected b4.

Also.. anyone in canada ever have any probs getting them from the local pharmacy? What do you say if they ask you what they are being used for? I called this morning for prining and availability (.15 -.30cents each) but you have to goto the counter and request them...

I thought I answered this post early but I guess I didnt.

25G is what I use for everything so you should be fine however drawing from vials with 25G pins can take some time. I have gone in many times to different places here in Ontario and never had a problem. The pharmacists are very helpful and if they do ask you can say its for b-12 shots. They dont generally ask though. I buy a box at a time and they dont say anything. You could also just say non of your business if they ask. They dont have the right to know, they are legally sold for a reason.

oops what I was going to add is you may want to pick up some pins of a smaller gauge for drawing (21G or so woudl work great for that)

lol I was going to say 28G to draw? I would love to see someone try that with some of the gear I have right now.

I've always used 21 gauge, smooth and painless.

I've always used 21 gauge, smooth and painless.

Everyone has different threshholds to pain but besides that you build more scar tissue up with large pins so it is a better idea to use 23-25G whenever possible.

I recently shot my left pec with a 25G 1" pin and the pain from the shot and lump it left was brutal I wont do that again.

**kashalp** · 08-31-2009, 11:42 AM

ok 25 it is then, thanks guys. i do have a pretty high pain threshold but needles to begin with scare the shit outta me, especially when doin it myself. perhaps next round ill try the 21's if i still cant find 23's.

lol i read on the "how to inject" topic about some people injecting in thier pecs, i had to laugh and 100% agree when he they made they comment "a little to pulp fiction for me"

lmao..

They are cheaper to buy in the pharmacy here in Canada its totally legal, you just walk in and say yes I need 100 25G one inch pins with 3ml syringes. They jsut grab them and put them on the counter and you pay simple as that.
