    Needles for Test e

    I need to know what's the best needle to use when injecting test enanthate. I have heard it should be 25 gauge and 1 inch long but which cc should it be that's where I am confused.

    Depends how many ccs you want to inject mate. Your question is kind of confusing, but I get 3cc syringes but I'm sure you can get bigger and smaller. Depending on how much your dosing as to how big you want. Does that answer your question?

    And I go 23 guage for test e otherwise it takes about 30 seconds to push a whole ml/cc through that tiny needle. It's not much different pain wise

    Ok I can also get 23 gauge so is it that the cc don't really matter? My vials I'm getting are going to be 250mg/ml 10ml vials.

    ^^^^ This.....

    The length of the needle depends on where you are injecting. Generally 1 1/2" needles are used for glutes and 1" needles everywhere else. I also use 23g and even then..... injections are kinda slow.....

    If you are injecting 1ml-2ml per injection..... you only need a 3cc syringe.

    Ok I'll only be injecting 1ml per shot twice a week but I also don't mind the time I heard the slower you inject the less sore it can make the muscle. And I will be injecting in delts and thigh so I think 1 inch is probably good.

    1 inch will be fine for that. As far as the gauge goes, I use 23g to inject in thighs and delts, 25g would work fine but it'll just take longer to inject. I also like to use a lower gauge needle to draw in to the syringe, but it's not necessary. You do want to use a different needle to inject than the one you use to draw from the vial.

    i personaly use a 23g to draw and 25g to inject, like already said 1.5" for glutes and 1" pretty much everywhere else. i actually like the resistance of the smaller size when injecting it adds more control to the flow, i take about 45 seconds to inject. slow and steady is your friend. unless your shaky in which case fishing the needle around for 45 seconds is going to be more painfull than a quick injection. also why not glutes? youll get tired of doing delts and quads after a while, the more sites the better.
