    Gauge sizes

    Waiting on my usually 25 gauge needles, but my buddy gave me a box of 30x 1 inch needles for the mean time. Can I use the 30 gauge for deltoid injections with an oil based test E? Or is the needle to small?

    I guess if you're patient you can use 30g, It's going to be very slow though.

    my syringes are 1.5 inches. is that too long for thigh or glute injections? somebody told me they were but I dont seem to have a problem with them. not sure what gauge they are. the only time they make me sore is when i push too fast, if i do it very nice and very very slow then i dont get sore at all. is 25guage the best to get?

    I have used 23x1.5 before many times without issue but last time I used one I think I tore up my quad pretty bad because I couldn't walk for 2 weeks... so I quit using them.

    23x1 is the right size for me, especially for delts.
