  • Do you heat your compounds before injection? (e.g., hot water, mug warmer, baby wipe warmer, etc.)

21g to draw oils
coffee mug warmer to heat them first or run under hot water 60" if I draw the night before (like if I'm in a rush to get out and ski next morning or something)
27g 1" or 5/8" for glutes/VG/delts if less than 1ml
25g 1" if using a 2.5 or 3ml syringe (too much pressure needed for a 27g for me)
30g 5/8" or 1/2" if a small amount of oil to thigh/delt/pec (like a nightly MK, as I do main injection ED in am)
Have a few others (25g 5/8" etc) depending on mood lol, but the above is mainly it

Peptides are 30g or 31g 1/2" or 5/8" slin pins (depending on what's on hand b/w me and the wife's stuff) for sub-cutaneous
 
Draw i use 20ga, pinning i use 27ga 5/8 for glutes and 27ga 1/2 for delts. cant believe i used a 23 and 25 back then.
 
I set my vials up against my cup of fresh coffee every morning. Rotate them as I look at the forums so that all sides are against the cup for a bit, usually within 3-5 min. Then I draw with a 29g 1/2" slin pin and inject. I rotate delts/glutes/quads.
 
Op, since when is anything under a 27ga needle a harpoon? judging by the other question about heating before injection because needle so tiny, I'm thinking you want to ride the train but you afraid of the almighty needle.
I use 25-23 to inject and rotate sights constantly

You mean "you're" afraid.

So you’re interpreting me calling anything under 27g ‘harpoons’ as being afraid of jabbing? I’ve been on TRT for quite awhile and started with 23–25 gauge, 1-inch needles—that’s why I call them harpoons. I’m not afraid of the needle; I was just tired of sticking myself.

What brand needles is everyone using for 27g 5/8?? Only 27g 5/8 I can find is the BD SafetyGlide with the annoying safety cover..

I normally use slin pins, but would rather draw and inject separate.
 
Even I get shudder a bit looking at my 21g drawing needle. BUt really, 25g is not a harpoon. and when ur injecting 3cc's Id rather not sit there for 5 minutes fighting a 28g. Used 25g 1in as my standard, but now use 25g 5/8th because amazon fucked my order.
 
Just ordered multi vial adapters from Amazon they have 10 & 50 packs so drawing up is easy lol. But 27g 1” for shoulder IM is working for me so far and peptides are 29g subq

Lol. And I thought I was a pussy for using 25.
I don't feel a thing with 35 ga 1in, what I use now.
The trick is to
1. Understand physiology of area youre injecting a bit...so you miss the vital spots, veins, nerves.
2. Tweak the spot (if painful, note spot, next time alter a bit). You can squeeze skin, see vascularity under, so avoid them.
3. What helps me is use other hand to stretch skin, and actually cough when jabbing, this distracts body from focusing on signal from needle. Didn't believe it helps til I tried it.

Now, I have my area picked for injections, no pain, easy.
BTW, I pin the right thigh. Soon will be pinning both right and left.
Wife offered to shoot me in the ass, I said thanks but no.
Maybe should say to her 'you shoot mine and I shoot yours' 🤣
 
18-20g for draw oil only
30g .5” for everything else or at most a 25g 1” for glutes and ventral glutes only imo

Results are little to zero scar tissue this way

Me too 😃 lol. For a long time I used AHS from shopmedvet . They are actually great quality rigs for a “generic” brand & are SUPER cheap. I got some excel 3ml LL 25ga 1” from same source on sale for $10 100box & really like them. The plunger slides much smoother especially under pressure of 2-3 cc of thicker compound through 25 gauge. One of the only brands I’ve found that have to “very low waste” in 3mls that aren’t $50-$100 box. Has the same plunger extension that most 1mls have

Thought I was using 27g 1” this whole time and noticed they were 25g yesterday… 27s on the way now lol

If you pin more than 1ml you gonna probably hate 27. I’ve used aXtra thin walled 27 & any mixtures or tren you HAVE to warm to keep from firing needle trough yourself by blowing the lock from the pressure you have to apply
