    Pinning

    I guees I had some other questions that didn't first dawn on me lol.

    About pinning, I know enanthate is a long Ester, however is once/week too little? Should I split it into 2x week, maybe Thursday and Monday or something like that? 300mg Thursday, 200mg Monday.

    Also about the pins themselves, I am buying from a regular pharmacy, is 22 gauge 1.5" ok for drawing and also injecting?

    Thanks

    If you like to pin with a harpoon. LOL
    I draw with 23 and pin with 25 when I cruise.
    When I’m on cycle, I use slin pins and pin daily. I like to keep my serum levels as stable as possible.

    Whats the reason for using different pins to draw and inject? I wont be able to switch the needle, I am just going to buy regular pins from a pharmacy, not those fancy ones where the needle screws off, so I need to know whats a good one to buy that I can draw with and inject with.

    I have used the same needle to draw and pin (subq) but I won't even do subq like that anymore. Fresh needles are awesome.
    I used to use the same pin. I just don’t have the patience with filling through a 25g. I pin so much that the smaller the pin, the better. Less scar tissue.
    I was using 5 slin pins per day during a heavy cycle .

    I’ve become quite a puss. All I do is back fill slin pins for everything I pin.

    Ended up getting 22 gauge, 1.5". I read that people use those for IM pinning, and it seems like it will be ok. Starting today with my first one, super excited!!

    Ok thanks.

    Well im at the pharmacy now, any tips on what to buy for pinning? Does a regular Walgreens sell the syringes where you can screw/unscrew the needle on and off? If not, what to buy? I was thinking of the 22 gauge 1.5", like I posted earlier, that seems like it would be fat enough to draw without an issue but still skinny enough not to kill me with ejecting into my ass.

    I get the 25 1.5, but I think I’m going to change to 1”. I don’t need the 1.5 really.

    You can do either/or as far as a schedule...I’ve seen data to support both. I like to split the week.

    Ex) 250 Sunday and 250 Thursday. At 200 mgs per ML you won’t get it perfect but it’ll be fine. With enth or cyp 1/2 life you can also go once a week too, I’ve personally noticed just feeling a little better with less valleys bi weekly.

    22G 1.5” is fine.

    However, I prefer to draw with a 1” 20G and shoot with a 1.5 or 1” 25G.

    The volume you’re doing is easily done with a 25 G.

    Regardless of which size you choose, make sure to rotate needles. I.E. - one to draw and one to shoot. Use an alcohol swab on your vial and the area you’re stabbing. I always do mine after a shower. No point in being sweaty and dirty (I’m sure you know that, but would be remiss if I didn’t mention it, lol).

    Twice a week or every 3 days. With long estered tests, there is flexibility. but I would inject equal amounts every time so that levels in your body stay more consistent.

    As far as pinning goes, I would generally draw with a 19g needle and inject (depending on the thickness of the oil) with a 23g or 25g needle. A 22g would be fine. Remember to go slow when you inject (10 seconds per ml or slower).
