Smallest pin I can use for a quad injection

**200gamblr** · 04-20-2011, 07:42 AM

I always pin in my glutes using a 21g (1 1/2) but as a result of only using my glutes I have developed scar tissue and injections are becoming difficult. So i need to switch to my quads. The problem I have is that my quads have literally zero fat, when I do the BF test they can barley get the calipers to grab. The other day I tried to use a 23g (1 1/4) but when i put it next to my quad it just looked to big and i was worried i'd go to far in. Can any one suggest what the smallest needle I can use for quads would be?

what 21g 1"???? ouch man, i use 25g 1" and it painless... you still want to go plenty deep so i wouldent go any shorter than 1"...

^ what he said.....25g 1 inch...the only problem you may have is depending on how thick your oil is (TNT) is very thick, you could possibly have to go 23g, 25g for most though

i've tried 27g, it's very slow and hard to push but still effective.

25g here

**Tlee8769** · 04-20-2011, 01:26 PM

I use 23 gauge 1" with no issues but 25 1" would work awesome to just a bit slower going.

holy crap man 22ga like a frickin sword. Sorry...LOL

Use 25ga, but like others said go with 1.5 long...You just have to take an extra 15 secs but I find if you toss the vial in some warm water its like night and day. I have zero soreness

LOL cant beleive ive been stabbing myself with a 21g when there's no need. So every one agree a 25g is ok?

**n00bs** · 04-21-2011, 06:06 AM

I use 25g 1"

Have used 27g 1" 1/4 also

**betterat40** · 04-21-2011, 08:13 AM

I use 25g 1" on my quads with no pain at all!

**dec11** · 04-21-2011, 08:17 AM

no less than 1"

**gymfu** · 04-21-2011, 08:58 AM

Second don't try shorter than 1", I tried, not a good idea.

The smallest I've used is 25g, I prefer 23g to inject, as with the 25g my thumb goes numb trying to force the test nto the leg and it takes too long. whereas with the 23g it goes in quicker, but with that said the 25g needle goes in a lot better with less pain. But I'm sticking with the 23g. Either way I never use the same tip to inject that I draw from. I always switch it using a fresh sharp new tip to poke, with a drop or two of test running down it for lubrication. Just my way, everyone has different ways.

25 by 1 push about 3/4" into your quad and call it a day.

**morty** · 04-22-2011, 02:42 AM

Been using 25g 5/8" to push 3mils with no problems, My drugstore didn't have 1" at the time so Its been these for the last three months. I have never had pain or leakage so far

Your sh*tting me right????
Out of curiosity has any one ever used a 18 gauge or 19 gauge to shoot before? And I would love to hear justification for doing so! Damn that would hurt.
