25G 5/8" too small?

[stack_it]

The only 25G that the pharmacies around here have in stock right now are 5/8". Is this too short for delts? It's for once a week trt injections.

[bigp750]

25g will work but it will "TAKE FOREVER" and make sure you warm up the oil... order some sticks online.. they are cheep.. and shipping only takes a few days

[stack_it]

They only cost me 30 cents a piece at my pharmacy. I'm not worried about it being slow just worried mainly about the length.

[sprinter911]

For glutes and quads that's not long enough IMO. Depends where you inject.

ok... 30 cents.. guess your just gonna have to try it to understand.. the oil doesnt draw up... if it does... its like watching grass grow

I always shoot with 25ga and do not heat the gear, they work fine to shoot. do you have larger pins to draw?

[Lean1038]

Great for delts if you're lean.

Big, do you use 25ga to shoot everywhere or just in your delts?

everywhere, I see no reason to go larger

I know I have extremely limited experience in this field as I just started my first Injectable cycle a week ago.... I am pinning ED and I was going to use 23G 1 inch had them already and everything, then KP and Cal told me that 25G 1 inch is fine and get them.... they told me they are perfect for nice smooth slow injections.

I have never even tried the 23G, I use them to draw and use the 25G to pin and I must say I am glad they told me to get the 25`s they seem perfect.

Sorry Stack It to continue off topic as I know you are concerned with the length not being 1 inch but thought I woul add to the the thread with my recent experience. I am not sure if 5/8 is too short, but if you`re lean enough I can`t imagine why it wouldn`t be fine I thought 1 inch looked too long at first

Interesting. I will be shooting in a little bit and was gonna use 22ga in my glutes but I think I will now use that to draw and switch to 25ga to shoot. I will post back with results on it for the OP, hopefully it works out fine. I dont see how it wouldnt if you say thats all you ever do.

[Kdub]

I agree with Big.

25g for all body parts and 3 ml at a time. Close to 60 seconds with 3 ml and I wait another 10 seconds at the end of the injection before pulling out to make sure the oil doesn't leak out.

Less pain, less scaring with 25g.

I've used 25G before aswell as 22 and 23. I know it takes longer. I see no reason in rushing while pinning.

I'm gonna use 23G to draw I have to pick those up from another pharmacy. It seems they all keep a low stock and variety. Do You use 1"? My main concern was the length. I didnt want to waste any gear. I'm fairly lean at about 10-11% bf.

No worries. Any inputs welcome bud.

i've been using 22 gage 1 inch for delt pins. Probably not smart, but i'm a beginner. Bout to teach my girl how to inject my glutes, 1 inch should be sufficient for a glute pin right?

[_ripp3d_]

OP, I just drew with a 23ga and injected with 25ga 5/8 and i didnt feel a thing. I couldnt believe the needle was actually in me. This is only my second injection and it was much less painful than the first. But I am now concerned about if this would be wasting the gear like you stated above in your post.

[Big]

I'm confused, how would it waste gear?

[_ripp3d_]

Well, say if the needle isnt long enough to make it to the muscle wouldnt it waste gear? Probably sounds like a dumb question to you... lol

[Big]

oh I got ya. many prefer 1.5" for glutes but if the bf is rather low 1" is fine.

[baseline_9]

I didnt want to waste any gear. I'm fairly lean at about 10-11% bf.

I'm confused, how would it waste gear?

I think he was refering to 'wasting the gear' if the pin was too short and it was going 'sub q' rater than IM

If some does go sub q it wont be wasted, I have read it just may take longer to 'get into your system'. This could cause unstable blood levels.

at 10% BF im sure you could do quads and 90% sure that glutes will be fine with a 1" needle

So basically if you use too small of a needle you wont neccessarily be wasting the gear but you could be causing other harm to your body? I mean Id rather not have unstable blood levels but if its not gonna kill me its better than flat out wasting the gear.

I think this would be a very informative thread for a noob pinner.

Thanks for all the help everyone. Just wanted to make sure I was gtg.

Unstable blood levels won't kill you but may make you slightly moody and you're energy levels could jump around.

when shooting oil/steroids it is the prefered ethod to shoot IM (intra-muscular), if you do this every time you will have an balance release rate each time you pin

if fr one of your shots you dont shoot IM and shoot Sub Q (into fat) the release of the oil/hormone will be slower, thus causing unstable blood levels

To make it simple, just shoot it IM every time, if you are worried bout using a 1" for glutes then do a search on a search engine and buys some 1.5" needles for when pinning glutes, the pins are verry cheap
