    Which pins to get? Is there really any difference?

    Well, found an awesome site for pins and even the vial-dispensing caps to make your life much easier. However, they have so many damn pins, i don't know which to choose from! take a look at these and see if you can tell if there's much of any difference. i know they're different gauges and lengths, but just wondering as far as the pin itself if there is any reason i would want one over another?

    to me, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the two of them, but these guys got crazy amounts of supplies. oh, and in appreciation of your guys feedback, here's something that will make your lives much easier:

    one last thing too, just wondering if 25g is too small to use for oil-based compounds? i used to use 23g but for scarring reasons, considering the 25, but not sure if it will take forever drawing up oil-based compounds with that small of a pin?

    Use 23g or 25g as standard I use both, they actually dont feen any deifferent to me. Only thing I can tell is if these pins are fixed to the syringe. You really need to use 18 or 19g to draw the juice up and then change the pin to the one you will be injecting with. It is way faster

    I dont see any real difference, I use BD needles, I dont know the different "styles" I just walk in and ask for a size, so I dont think its too big of a deal man.
    And yes you can use 25g for oil based. I draw with a 25 and inject with it because I just draw and inject with the same needle, cant be bothered switching them, I tried it once (as people say its easier because it hasnt been dulled going into the vial) ppffttt, I found absolutely NO difference. Its not like needles hurt anyways. But if you are worried about scar tissue than sure go for 25 man, no worries. And yes it does take longer to draw with a 25, but w/e its not that bad imo. Takes 2 mins instead of 30 secs with a 22g.
