Use a regular syringe with an 18 or 20 to pull. Take the plunger out of the insulin syringe. Back fill. Injecting takes no longer than with a standard syringe (it's simple physics due to the smaller diameter of the barrel of the syringe mattering so much more than the pin size).It takes FOREVER to pull in Test to the 10 mark. I can't imagine how long it would take to pull in a normal dose. It's also hard to push out of that little pin too.
Interesting takes from everyone. I have extremely little fat on my legs, quads. I cna only barely pinch the skin. I still don't see how that small of a needle can go intramuscular. You still have a dermis layer. Hey if it works for you, I don't blame you. If I Pin a CC and a half of 250mg test, that's a lot of liquid to be that close to the skin layer.
Here's the easiest way to use slin pins. First warm up your vial a little bit with a hair dryer, or what I use is a heat gun. I buy the barrels that have lur lock heads. Load with a 18, 20, or whatever guage. Unscrew it off, then I'll screw a 25guage X 5/8" usually, but if your oil is super thin, screw a 27 guage and go for it. Super easy.

You are exactly correct...it pushes good...but slow to load with the same size needle.I can pin up to 1.5cc in my delts, pecs, and I could probably do quads now too with a 5/8". When you push it down it squishes the fat layer down so it's not as thick. You ever squished the fat on a recently killed animal? It reduces by about 50% of its thickness. Same goes for us.
Yep, this is what I do now. I buy the tuberculin syringes that are 1cc and have the luer lock. Draw up with my normal 23 and pin with 25 or 27. Works great. I actually just hold the barrel in the crook of my elbow for a little bit to warm it after I draw the oil. Works surprisingly well. The 1cc barrel makes the push much easier than a 3cc and you don't have to spend 5 minutes drawing up .5mL of oil like with a 27 or 28
