pins

Always see use 23x1.5 for glute. Is there a reason not to use 25x1.5 for glute?

I use 25g for everything. Takes a few seconds longer and requires more pressure but I hope it is cutting down on scar tissue. I am on TRT (104 injections a year, forever) so I am trying to take a long-term approach.

Yeah I use 23 everywhere now but wanted to try 25. Pinning gets old fast. Thanks

25 for glutes works fine. Insulin pis for delts also works well..

Yea if you if wanna spend 30mins loading and 30mins pinning haha

I draw with 23g 1.5in and pin with 25g 1in for everything (painless and smooth). I have used 25g 5/8 pins in delts, but oil leaks out after pinning so I switched back to 1in pins.

I think 25g is the way to go, any smaller and those oil based liquids are going to have one hell of a time getting through that needle. Like a golf ball through a garden hose

my exp with 25g just didn't like having to push so dam hard

30 minutes??? you can/should load it with your 20g (remove plunger) inject takes no more than 4 secs.... don't know how you do things but seems you could improve...

I improve by not using insulin pins to inject oil IM lol

Could have been in scar tissue. Just a possibility.

Yeah I use 22 draw back just pinned with 23 ordered the 25 x1 n 1 1/2 see how it goes. Thanks

ok whatever dude

I use 25 1 inch for both glute and delts, 5/8 for delts also just push all the way down, never an issue. I do load with an 18 then switch out. Recently read how people don't bother just load and shoot. Someone compared it to going to a Dr office, do you ever see them load then switch out the pin to something smaller? I never have, I just like that nice sharp point on entry.

I've gone down to 27gauge pins. Both 25 and 27 are effective; the 25g offers a slight advantage. I draw with 18g.

Only time I use slin pins is for SQ injections or water soluble compounds.

In clinic, 25g pins are pretty standard use for me.

I think anyone with alot of experience injecting eventually find there way to 25g or 27g

[RA]

18 to draw 23 to shoot. I dont have all day.

I couldn't agree more, that's exactly what I did. I started low 20s, 21 I think, then found my way from there to 23 and from 23 to 25.

It's whatever you prefer...
