Needle size

[NewbFromCali]

So. Test E through a 23 ga needle seems like it's TOO hard to make work. Am I wrong. I didn't think a needle would make an injection take 20 seconds.

I use 23g pins foe tren e and test e, works well and its not a race to inject, take your time..

man, alot of guys I know draw with a 22 or 23ga and actually pin with a 25ga-- now that feels slow lol! My theory with size of needle is its strictly a tradeoff between time the pin spends in your body vs how little you feel it go in/healing time for flesh. I personally find a 23 ga is a good in between for oil based juice but as I said many of my friends use 25ga cause they say they can hardly tell a pin is in there and I myself have used 22 ga on many occasions in the glute for a quick in and out pin and didnt find it too bad... certainly do not use anything larger than a 22 ga.

i use a 25g for everything every place. I havent use a 23guage pin to inject in probably 5 years

[bjpennnn]

I pin with a 25g and i have no problem.

Same thing here I use a 25g to draw and pin just heat the AAS and it does not take that long to draw.

PS I know a lot of people will hate this but.... I don't see a lot of difference between drawing and pinning with the same needle vs changing to a new needle. However I do always move a little air through the needle after drawing to make sure its not holding a stopper core as I would not want to inject the core into my muscle. I know needles are cheap but I average 4 shots a day ( two compounds, hcg, a couple of shots of slin) and really hate ordering/disposing of so many pins. Look at it this way you use the 30 gauge to draw and pin your slin and hcg (both of mine come in serum bottles) so if a 30g can handle it a 25g sure can.

i used 20's to draw and 23 or 25 to shoot. 25 in the quads...

I use 23, it's a good multi-purpose size.

I draw with an 18 and use a 23 to shoot. It goes in pretty painlessly and easy.

[lovbyts]

I use a 21 to draw and 25g to pin and I take over 1 min per CC/ml
Why rush it? You like getting lumps, charlie horses, bruised muscles? What do you think happens when you are blasting the juice through a skinny little needle with a lot of force? I fires against your muscle causing a bruise. That's my most people get sore.

[fattymcbutterpants]

I've had a 16 to the quad before, talk about making a mistake. All I had were 20's I thought but a big one came on the syringe and I used it.... It hurt yes and bled yes..... But not that awful lol. Anything over 20 is a piece of cake

Draw with a 20g and inject with a 23g. Most oil based should go through a 23g no problem.

I like to go slow, but 1min per CC? I'll try that next time and see if I notice a difference.

23g shouldn't take 20 seconds to inject. I been using 25g for a while now and some of those injections can last a whole minutes. 23g used fly right in.

[dec11]

ive never had trouble with 23g, even with t400

[baseline_9]

25g 1" everywhere for me

Take your time...

I normally push 0.5ml in and leave it for 10 seconds then repeat until all your gear is gone

I use a 25g so its even smaller and it works fine. You should take your time injecting, don't try and do it too fast.

drawing it from the vial is the part I hate.
