    I have tried most needle combinations. Everything from 1.5" 18G to like 4mm 33G. I have done 1mL with an insulin pin before and it was fine. My TRT I exclusively use insulin syringes now. Why? 1) Insulin syringes free on my insurance where other needles basically not covered, 2) less scar tissue, 3) more comfortable, 4) accuracy of measurement with microdosing. For oils, get the 1cc/1mL/100iu and back fill them [maintain sterility]. I have tried the more rare 1/2mL/50iu syringes but they dont work well at all for oil and backfills. The surface tension across the smaller diameter pin is too great.

    This is definitely a thing.

    I usually draw with 1/2ml 27g pin and back fill into a 1ml 27g 1/2". Works great.

    Yeah, I know we don't have to be THAT precise with most oil based stuff, but I do like to keep my pep dosage more precise.
