27 g 1/2 inch needle for IM injection?

[Bigdaddyjak]

I use a 22g to draw and I pin with 29g 1/2 in for everything except glutes. for glutes I pin w/ a 27g 1 inch.

I draw with 27 ga 5/8 insulin pin , takes 3 seconds . Then I inject it , takes 3 seconds . So overall it takes longer to get the vial out then I does to load and unload pin

What??! It must take you 45 min to draw and inject, lol! Either I do something massively wrong or you have way more patience than I

I use 30g 1/2 insulin syringe to draw and pin. I pin a small amount .07 ml since o pin ED.
I heat up water in the microwave in a coffee cup and put my test in the water for a minute or two and I have no problems drawing if it was a larger amount it would take 30 seconds or so for .5 ml but doesn’t take very long.

1”. Get that shit deep.

My exact answer. It depends how lean you are. My question for OP would be, if you use 1/2inch length in other muscle groups, can you physically see the muscle? Delts, lats, pecs, whatever… are those buried under fat or clearly visible against the skin? I’d assume visible, then if your glutes look the same that’s your answer. If you’re caked up and just see ass 1/2 inch is probably not the best option if you’re going IM.

@pcf are you caked up bro?
Lmao

Curious if anyone has oil seep out with 1/2 or 5/8 needles?

If i put anything in my shoulder with something shorter than 1" it leaks out. I've tried to go slow, let the needle sit for 10s after injected, etc. I'ts not a ton, but a def a drizzle. I can put a 1/2 in my lat and no issue. 1/2 in my quad and I'm good.

I pin everything with 27g 1/2” but I don’t think it hits muscle for Dorsoglute.

I think it hits everywhere else including Ventroglute.

Can 1/2 inch needle reach muscle (in glutes) for an IM injection? My TRT clinic gives me 25 g 1 inch needles. Thanks!!

1/2 and 5/8 should work in all typical muscles used for IM like quad, delts, tris, lats, and such. But trust me, you do not want to go too shallow on VG. I did once and the oil got stuck in a fascia layer, i was crippled for a whole week. VG should be minimum 1in, even if youre lean.

I get why guys want smaller gauges, but the length doesnt really matter towards the accrual of scar tissue, deeper is always better in minimizing harmful reactions too.

Still a noob on this subject, but I take it when you say you're using one gauge to draw and another gauge to pin, that means it's a syringe where you unscrew the needle?

I've yet to dabble in that arena and the only pinning I've done has been subq for peptides.

Thanks

Yes, a luer lock syringe with attachable/detachable needles. Many users use a bigger gauge to draw and speed up the process, then switch to a smaller gauge to pin. Needles on insulin syringes are fixed.

Yes. Luer Lock syringes. Some people will take the stopper off and back fill a syringe tho to put multiple compounds into one. When I've done this I usually just fill through the top hole w/out a syringe. But lately I just make a bulk batch for the week and draw 1 from it each day

Stick with the 25g 1-1 1/2” pins for glutes. 1” is usually fine but 1/2 for glutes is very likely to not hit IM or be very shallow.

27g 1/2 pins are my favorite pins for delts, lats, pecs.

 

[T-bar]

After years and years (and years) of sticking, I now using 22g 1" to draw and pin quads with no issues.

The 1/2” shoujd ne long enough i always use the 1 1/2” needles just to be safe

 

[Algz]

25g 5/8” delts, 25g 1” for glutes, 27g 1” for quads since I can just sit and take my time to inject/ quads are my favorite because of this. I hate having to think about relaxing muscles when I’m contorted.

 

[Tattooguy8]

I draw and inject with a 29 gauge 1/2”. Works with delts and quads.

I bought a vial adapter best investment yet

I do find it harder to get that last little bit of oil out.

Yea it's more so I don't have to swap needles had someone in forum tell me love it just use syringe and attach whatever needle you want

 

[Learningtopump]

Lugar adapter for vials 27g 5/8 for injecting. If I were to need a larger pipe then the 1cc I'm using I might go up a g or 2 but for the 1cc, a 27 and MCT warmed up a tad is like butter. Everywhere except my ass cause I can't twist that far around. Hell I have a hard time pinning my VG no way I'm pinning my ass.

Thoughts about insulin needles/syringes for im injections? I guess if youre trying to do trt..I been watching vids on this new thing for me

The other day I used a 1/2 30g for my base trt test c dose in delt no problem just buried it. That was only .25ml. I don’t feel like slin pins are as sharp maybe though? IDK something that seems off for IM or I’m just not used to it.. I just couldn’t fit the test c in with the prop pin. But I might split it again tomorrow and poke something else I do hate using 3ml syringes..
