    I prefer 23 gauge many use 22 or even 25....I always draw with the same size pin 23 many use 18 to draw and pin with the smaller one 22/23/25

    I never liked 25 gauge i think its to small as well 23 fit me perfect

    Peace

    18g to draw.

    23g 1.5" to inject although I used a 25g the other day and liked it. It takes longer to inject, but I do that slowly anyway. Mostly looking to cut down on possible scar tissue as TRT will cause me to inject forever.

    25 gauge, 1 inch for me. Nice and painless. You can always buy larger needles to draw from the vial and then switch up to a smaller one to inject.

    Same here. 25 for quads and i draw with nothing smaller than a 23. I do prefer 23 for my glute shots because it's an awkward injection and i dont want to be there very long. A 25 takes some time.


    JohnnyVagas - Quads & delts are easy, you'll be fine. I havent done delts in a long time though. I need to get back on that to spread it around since i'm in the same TRT position as you. SCAR TISSUE!

    I figure I will be fine. I just got the shipment and will unpack it this weekend. Time to go watch those injection videos so I jab with confidence.

    25g to pin everywhere. 23 to draw. It does take some time to inject, but I like that better than being sore.

    What size do you guys use?
    I use 23g.
    1.5" for glutes.
    1" for just about everywhere else.

    My first and only cycle I used 25 g 1/2 in for my delts..I have a great hand when it comes to injecting ( combat medic army) so I have no pain no scars..my next cycle I will use the same , maybe try on the traps and chest.

    25 by 1 for everything. Heat the AAS before drawing and it does not take all that long to fill the syringe.

    Same here. I usually injcect everyday and it really helps with scar tissue and it's painless. It also depends on the gear. My stuff is smooooothe. I also draw with a 21g. Used to use 18g but it tears up the stoppers too much, especially on 20+ ml vials. Those 18g have cookie-cuttered pieces of stopper into my gear before...not very sanitary to say the least....

    23g 1" and 2ml syringes.

    i used to be a sadistic b@stard and used 18g 1.5"

    a note on terumo syringes, the ones with the blue plungers, they are crap. a pain in the arse to get started when withdrawing the oil. anyone else used 'em?

    One note on syringes,

    I am a dedicated BD fan...I have tried several other brands and for me the BD are worth the extra money. By the way if you google the 3ml 25X1 BD or even better the pn 309581 and spend a few minutes you can find some great deals. I just got an 800 delivered for about the same price (sorry can't post price here) I have seen boxs of Terumos sold for.


    Titan, As far as the whole football inflator, hooker thing...I don't wanna loose my red status ;-)

    25 gauge 1". Did a delt injection for the first time the other day with it. I found it was very painless compared to the glute. That is until I seen my fiancee (who's a nurse) left about half a ml of juice in the syringe and I had to inject again. That's the last time she's doing it.

    I'll be going back to 23 gauge after these syringes are used up. 25 gauge injects too slow for the amount of patience I have!

    A BB Pro & Vet showed me a different method. You can actually use Insulin pens to inject if you're injecting more frequently. 28g to 30g's can be used but you must inject slower. Delts, Tri's, Biceps, & some times chest. Never injected into the glutes. No need.

    25's are as smooth as a hot knife through butter

    After you get used to 25's going back to 23's feels horrible.... I cant believe I used to pin with 21's, dammmm the 25's fit inside a 21 LOL

    Yep Ive got a boat load of them, they are crap, ther is like no rubber on the plunger, just the plastic....

    When u aspirate the plunger gets stuck and then snapps back into position, horrible.

    I always use the BD ones now

    If you can't use a 25g you need to get better gear. 22g is silly. I have over 100 23g 1.5 inch needles and won't even use them except in an emergency. Like base says, once you go 25g you never go back.

    Yea it's water based suspension with little particles in it that separate if you leave it. The particles must have jammed it.
