What needle to use

[EA817]

Excited to start this next cycle . But honestly being a bitch about what needle size and Guage to go with.
For the last 3 years I used 1.5 in 23g needle . Then went down to 1inch needle 23g . And always used a 18g to draw.
Been thinking about getting a 5/8 25g needle . Just wondering what everyone else uses ?

I use 25 x 5/8" for everywhere but glutes. Glutes I go 25 x 1".

18g is thick and may cut the stopper leaving pieces of rubber floating around. We use silicon stoppers which helps with this issue. 21g would be fine to draw. Just pull the plunger back before inserting into the stopper, and push air in the vial for back pressure for the oil to come out easier.

21-23g x 1" will work fine.

We've had clients use insulin syringes for our oil products. It depends on the carrier oil and how much hormone is in there. If you heat up the syringe with a hair dryer or heat pad before injecting then it will flow better. (Just don't set the metal tip on the heat.)

I like 27 gauge 1/2 inch.

Depends on how lean you are. My opinion is:

If you have a little fat tissue on your glutes then use 1.5 inch 25g.

If you are lean then go with 25g 1 inch.

The last thing you want to do is not have a long enough needle and put the oil in the muscle fascia (the lining of the muscle) or even in the fat.

25 gauge & 1 inch works like a dream

 

[Dano22]

Man I usually use BD or excel brands . I bought Nipro I think it’s called this time. I don’t like them at all. 1.5 in glutes . 1” delts and lats

 

[exenzero]

yeah, can someone point me in the direction of a good brand with sharp sharp sharp needles? some of the ones i use i swear come out of the package a little dull.

 

[01dragonslayer]

Stick with what works......I poke with 1.5" 23g for glutes and 1" 23g for all spot injections.

 

[DieselRage259]

imagine if it was as simple as a 30 gauge insulin syringe to inject test in the glute.. that would be wonderful lol.

 

[Dano22]

Exel from east coast medical supply 25 gauge is my go to . They arrive in a box . Some places send the syringes in shipping bags . I don’t like that , prefer the box for secure storage

I've only injected in glutes, when I've injected in my shoulder. I've felt sick the next day . One of my buddies referred to it as "test flu" not sure if that's legit or just some dumb name he came up with . As I've never heard it from anyone else but him . I've done one quad shot that went extremely well . The next time I did a quad shot my whole leg twitched as if I hit a nerve . So I never did it again lol . Fuck I love gear . But I hate pinning . It's just some shit you never get used to . Well at least for me ..

I'm going to experiment with different needs .

My glute has been swelling like a motherfu**** lately after shots and going down within a day or so but to the point where i gotta walk alittle funny. Its pretty annoying but in a day or so once the test starts to absorb im good to go.

I draw with 1” 20g and inject delts, quads, lats and pecs with 1/2” 30g insulin pin, I use 1” 25g for glutes when needed

25-27g is all I use.. mostly 5/8s , 1/2..

 

[Montego]

Fuck a 21g. Nobody in their right mind uses that shit.

25x1 for glutes
25x5/8 for quads and delts.

If you've got a fat ass, you'll need 1.5 for glutes.

27g is ok if you have patience, a steady hand and thin carrier oil but it's usually more trouble then its worth.

I have done delta and glutes,very curious about trying the pecs

You keep going you will get used to it. I've had my fair share of bad injections. I have it down to a system now. I've been pinning everyday for about a year. It's nothing now. And I used to fuckin dread it!!

I use a 28 gauge 1/2” 1cc pin for my daily shots of 50mg test prop and 50mg NPP.
I shoot my quads, hips, and the split between quads and hams.

I only use pecs for primo anymore, they seem to knot up a little more than they used to but giving them a good break between primo runs seems to help, it’s great to have a lot of sites to rotate when running primo, pecs were fine for a long time before they started knotting up

 

[ricko]

I have never used primo,I want to try the pecs with my test

I must be a pyscho.

Real Primo hurts. We have 2 versions, a 200mg/ml and a 100mg/ml for those who are sensitive. We carry Primo A tabs as well for those who can't tolerate the injections.

Try a smaller dose if you're doing a new site injection to avoid discomfort.

18g 1.5" to draw
30g 1" to inject

I use luerlock 1ml syringes, I have almost zero scar tissue

Man I usually use BD or excel brands . I bought Nipro I think it’s called this time. I don’t like them at all. 1.5 in glutes . 1” delts and lats

I grabbed a box of Nipro pins because I couldn’t find BD at the time and my god I hate them. It’s like pinning with a screw driver; dull, several seemed to have burrs on the needles and plunger action is not smooth. Have a buddy who’s a bit more of a savage than I am and gave them to him
Glad to know it wasn’t just me that struggled with this brand.

I’m in love with BD.
20x1 to draw then swap the needle for a 25x1 for delts and 25x1.5 for glutes. Had issues in the past of not getting deep enough into the muscle and the resulting lump kinda sucks for a few days.

Been using 23g 1.5 in for 35 years on and off(juice not syringes). Always have used the same size. My experience is it gets it in deep- maybe bypasses the tissue that causes most scarring. Don't have hardly any scarring- even after hundreds of injections- just my take on it bro- know other guys w/ the same experience- but plenty go smaller and have no issues- mostly ur preference-good luck!-HR

I've just been a bitch lately, I've been off for 8months now . I'm sure after my first shot back on again . I'll be good .
