    23 gauge or 25 gauge?

    Ok, so I am starting my cycle of Test Cypionate next week and I am just curious what size needles you guys use for Cyp. I want as little pain as possible, but i dont want to sit there for 15 mins trying to inject. So should i go with 25 gauge or 23 gauge for my Delts? I will def. be using 1.5 inch 23 guage for glutes, and 1 inch for delts just not sure if 25 is too small for cyp.

    I shoot 25 1.5 and it's perfect for oils...doesn't do well for winny though! The smaller pin also ensures that you don't shoot it in too fast and cause excessive soreness or worse

    Ive been using 25g for a while. It didn't really mean less pain for me then 23, but why poke a bigger hole then you need to. I do warm up the syringe under hot tap water before every injection though.

    25g works just fine. I'am with the last member, why poke a bigger hole when theres no need too. Just use a bigger gauge needle to draw it from the bottle. Or it mite take a bit.

    No difference in pain between those two imo. It's just a hair easier to push the plunger witht the 23g.

    over time pinning everyday, you will notice, plus scar tissue may be an issue eventually
