    Help & advice needed regarding injecting

    can anyone tell me which needle is best to use when injecting test e.

    which combo is better for pinning? 22g x 1.5 or 23g x 1??

    Also im confused on how deep i should inject.. this site sais push the needle all the way in? but then other sites say inject half the depth of the needle etc..

    I plan on injecting my glutes..

    any help appreciated..

    1 inch should be long enough unless u have a crazy high body fat %
    i usually use 1.5 inch to get it out the vial, and replace with a 23g 1 inch needle so its not blunt

    I use a 25g 1" needle for all injection sites except glutes. Not in a race to get it in. I also find 22g injecting every day makes for too much scar tissue. For glutes I use a 23g 1.5 inch. The reason for leaving some of the needle out is in case you hit a nerve and jerk, breaking it off. The idea being there will be something sticking out to grab to pull it out. I don't bother. I just put the needle in slow and under control. BTW, I do 2 injections daily.

    I use 20 ml vials and I was using 18g to draw but I was finding it was chewing the hell out of my stoppers so I switched to 21's and have had no leakage since. 21g is the way...

    I inject the whole way in with 1 1/2. Once it's in you arent going to hit a nerve and unless you do something dumb you arent breaking it.
