Needle gauge??

**platestacker** · 10-25-2013, 12:55 PM

What is the general needle gauge for vastus lateralis site? I have relatively low body fat so I'm not sure that 1 1/2" is a necessary length either. Any feed back/ experiences will be appreciated.

If all I had to do was collect insurance checks all day I would have time to use a 25 ga needle. Just kiddin. 25 is too slow.

Warming your syringe, after loading the oil, will make the process so much smoother and faster. I use an electric heating pad...

I recently switched to 22g after using only 23g and I'm happy with the results.
