Thread: Needle sizes.

  1. #1

    Needle sizes.

    Curious to see what everyone uses to actually inject with. I like to use 23Gx1inch. I might go up to 25Gx1.5 soon. How about you guys? What is best and most easiest on you all?

    For Test*

    Delts 1" 23 or 25. 25 takes longer to evacuate which can be a good thing if you have the patience and solid delts that hold the pin firmly in place in case your hand cramps up lol. Usually happens to me half the time and I have to let go for sec. Less trauma to the site due to slow dispersion and small entry wound.

    I wouldn't try that with sloppy shoulders. The pin will move like its in gelatin and cause pain and damage. Use a 23 in that case. Test e moves readily through a 23.

    I don't do glutes anymore but when I did I used 1.5" 21 or 18g. Git er done! Big muscle. I used to put 3cc's in each cheek so needed the quick discharge. I can't properly reach my butt anymore and really f'd up the last one. Turned half my cheek purple and hurt like hell for 2 weeks. I sort of stirred the needle around once it was in because I couldn't reach far enough and my hands spasmed. I'm babling. Sorry.

    Think I'm going to try quads but that scares me. They're so dense. Seems lke it will be painful. My chest is big enough now that I could poke a pec. I've read of some doing biceps. OUCH.

    Haha. I was scared shirtless the first time I had to use one of those monsters. Org Preloaded Sust in the glass syringe. The needle didn't even come off - it was embedded in the glass syringe bwfore it cooled from what it looked like. Old as coke bottle syringe like nothing that should be allowed to be used in the medical profession. Frankenneedle. Bwahahaha! Didn't hurt though. Much. Do have to careful about where you aimed it. I've hit the sciatic a few times. buckled my leg out from under me and shot a jolt through clear to my neck. (I suppose en route to brain where it did god knows what!)

    I now use 25g 5/8 inch for most of my shots. But anything under 1ml I use 29g 3/8 slinpins. Feel nothing just takes a while to fill

    I use 25 by 1 for everything but I am pretty low fat most will want a longer needle for glutes. I really don't think a 1.5 is a good idea for quads as most will get plenty of penetration with a 1 inch...I usually only use about 8/10ths of the needle on quads but bury it on delts and glutes.

    As far as any short needles like slin pins, I feel you will do better with more penetration. This will lessen scarring over time.
