pin size

[btrizzyb]

It seems like 23 guage is pretty much standard for what people use, and it is what I have been using. My next cycle my gear will be MCT oil/EO though. Ive been told that gear with MCT oil will come threw a 25 guage pin fine, my question is though, since this gear will be 75% MCT 25%EO, would I have problems with a 25 guage because of the EO?

Id like to hear what you guys think about 23 compared to 25 also, besides the fact that the 25 is obviously a size thinner. Towards the end of my cycle last time I noticed it was harder to get my 23g to break the skin, im curious if the 25 will go in easier, or if theres a risk of snapping a 25 or something like that since it is thinner.

I wouldn't say 23g is a "standard". It may be preferred with some people. I always use 18g to draw, 25g to inject, even with thicker T400.

Cool. I will have a test P100/NPP100 blend with 75%MCT/25%EO so I just wanted to make sure that it should be able to go threw a 25g before getting a bunch of 25g pins and not being able to use them then.

Whatever you prefer. I typically use 23s to inject.

Anything but Nebido (in straight castor oil) will flow through a 25g just fine. You're supposed to take your time with steroid injections, not shoot it all in one quick push.

BTW, EO is even thinner than MCT oil.

25g for me

Pansies...

I use 22 gauge

I've thought about switching to 23 or 25 but 22 is working out fine so screw it.

[mockery]

when u are on gear for life, u will find that 25g is the go to number. good luck with the scar tissue of prolonged 22g injections.

just sayin

My 1st time was with a 16g needle. Yes really. Big ole horse needle, literally. It was also the last time for 30 years. lol

Meh, that's just a phlebotomy needle.
I've stuck a 14g IV catheter in my arm before

Ugh. My nads are too small for that. 16/18 tops for me from now on. My last phleb at an oncology center was done with a 21 gauge. I was there for a month.

jeez you guys are making me squirm... haha.. Ouch.

Great ill be trying a 25g this time then. I always inject very slow, usually takes me 10 minutes or so to pin

[redz]

25G is my weapon of choice though the injections can be a little slow with T400 or TNT400.

Hmm, I'll give 25 a try

Any of you guys ever cut your stuff with B12 to make it flow better? I used to do that until I ran out, it's part of my normal TRT protocol, 50mg of test and cut it with the same volume of b12, draw in air, lightly shake to mix, push out air, injects and flows super easy.
