    What's wrong with Terumo? I only use Terumo. What size and length are you using? Where are you pinning?

    Delt, 1 inch, 25 gauge. The only thing I can think of is maybe its the sauce. When I shoot b12 or melanotan I have to be very careful not to use too much force with the insulin needles I use for those. When I shoot test I am almost white knuckled with the force I am putting out.

    The one I am using is the 3 cc style with removable pin

    What's causing the pain exactly? The needle going in? The juice going in? Post injection? I hate 25's due to the fact I have to sit there and pin for a while. I'm usually always doing 1.5ml or more so I results in 23's.

    Sorry I should have been more specific. I'm doing 1 cc at a time and sitting there forever and a day holding a lot of force on the plunger to get the stuff to come out. Its not a fluke either its been like this every terumo 25 gauge I used.

    Sounds like I need to switch to a 23 gauge and give that a try?

    Yeah. 25's take me a while to pin, and you already have to go slow. 23's enable me to inject slightly quicker and the pain is all the same to me. 23-25 feel like the same needle. Even 22's don't bother me.

    i like terumo pins i bet its just the 25g plus the thickness of the oil thats making it so hard like others have said.....ive always used 23g and its really smooth to pin with......

    If you mean plunge into the muscle. Yes. The handle around the base is smaller than BD. BD grip or handle on the cylinder sticks out more and is easier to hold while plunging.

    So if you go with a small gauge that requires some effort it will be harder with Terumo vs BD.

    I noticed this too. My fingers are too big to use the little handles for one handed plunging. I used a 25 yesterday in my quad and it took forever and a day to push it all through. Next time I'll use a 23 on the quad.

    I was actually just in the lounge, I asked about what sizes people prefer to use. When guys started saying 25g, I also mentioned that I assumed it would be to hard to get the fluid through. I can't remember who suggested it (I think maybe Knockout_Power?) But he said if i ever try a 25g, and it is hard to plunge, then run it under hot water for 10 seconds. Heating it will thin it out. Try that! I would!

    Good luck, and let me know how it goes!

    25 ga.

    I have never used 25ga. I always use 22 or 23, and running it under hot water helps alot with thick oil.

    I like the B-D syringes best...they are the sharpest in my opinion.

    I went to 25's and I dont like them at all. Next time I will go with 23 or even 22's. I cant draw with them and its too hard to inject. I have tried both long & short esters thinking that would change the thickness and both are very thick.
