Needle Questions

[Arian]

I am about to make my first order and I'm making sure I have everything right. I will be purchasing amps, not vials. So, do I still need a thicker gauge needle to draw from and then another to inject with? The only reason you need two is to punch through the top of the vial, right? Also, can I just purchase 25g 1" needles? Will probably be going back and forth between quads and delts. Kinda scared of needles, so if I could get away with shorter and smaller needles the better for me. lol. I'll do what I have to, but would just prefer to make it as easy as possible for my first time. Thanks.

yes you will want a bigger needle to draw with. also you want to change the needel because you will keep hitting the glass trying to draw from the amp. That will wear the tip more then the rubber from a vial

People use two needles (1 to draw, 1 to inject) because when you stick the needle through the rubber stopper it can dull the needle making the injection more painful.

Hmmm... so if that were the case, I guess I wouldn't want to buy the kind where the needle and syringe come together?

[DaBullet]

yes sir, you want to get the syringe and needles separate. I am drawing from amps too right now and I use one to draw and one to pin trust me when I put the needle in the amp to try to get every last drop I look at the needle and can see the bent tip or I will run my finger down the needle and feel it hook...u don't want to pin with the one you draw with bro.

Wow, that's just crazy. I was picturing it being quick and easy with the amps. I didn't want to buy a box of 100 each that I found on one site. Luckily I just found another that sells separates in boxes of 10 and 25. So I figure I only need 24 for my cycle. But might as well buy 35 of each just in case. Luckily it's cheap as all hell.

So what gauge and size to draw with? 22g 1.5"? 21g 1.5"? And am I good with 25g 1" for quads and delts?

[gixxerboy1]

25 1inch is fine for injecting. i use 20's to draw with. 21's or 22 will work also just a tad slower

I use 18g to draw, nice and quick. First few shots I did I used 25g it was brutal!

[Arian]

Thanks guys. Needles ordered. One step closer!

I would go with a 23ga for your quads. The reason is if you are timid about injection, the 25ga will take a bit longer to push the oil through, and this makes for more time with the pin in the muscle. The quads some times have a tendency to flex if you can't relax completely, so in and out is best (just not too fast or it will cause injection site pain).
