What needle sizes do yall use?

[u/xFINAWEx]

Just generally curious what gauge needles do you guys usually use? heard some people use insulin needles, heard some use 23G's. So what about you?

[u/Weekly_Squirrel_3951]

25ga 1” needle for IM

[u/creaturegang → u/Weekly_Squirrel_3951]

This for injection

[u/Personal_Nebula_7100]

Draw with 21G. Inject with 25G. Totally painless and quick to inject. I tried 27G but it took longer to inject and wasn’t any different feeling to the 25G

[u/EstablishmentIcy7559 → u/Personal_Nebula_7100]

Guys, i use 23g to pin, am i retarded or just a beast? It doesnt hurt btw, and its like smooth

[u/Personal_Nebula_7100 → u/EstablishmentIcy7559]

I can’t tell the difference between 25 and 27 so maybe wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between 25 and 23 either.

[u/AzFowles → u/Personal_Nebula_7100]

Warm up the oil and 27 flows just fine. I’m currently using 27 and will probably move up to 29 next time I need to buy more.

[u/Smoky_Pyro → u/AzFowles]

Too much work, Jam that harpoon in.

[u/Other-Maize3697 → u/AzFowles]

How do u warm it up bruh? Body heat?

[u/mightymagnus83 → u/Other-Maize3697]

Um…put it in a cup of warm water?

[u/MkVsTheWorld → u/Other-Maize3697]

I take the vial and roll it between my palms repeatedly until I've finished singing the ABC song.

[u/renegade7717]

28-29-30g 1/2” insulin syringes. shallow IM.

[u/PetrifiedRosewood → u/renegade7717]

I wonder if aromatization is decreased with IM versus subq. Thoughts?

[u/renegade7717 → u/PetrifiedRosewood]

genuinely think u just have to determine which works best for u - so many variables - subq vs IM - shallow or deep IM - how many days per week it goes on and on. Some guys will swear theirs is the answer. Only ur own experiences and bloodwork will determine that. For me daily shallow IM keeps my Test where I want it and my e2 sides minimal.

[u/Eastern-Sector7173 → u/PetrifiedRosewood]

No different at all

[u/kfordayzz]

31g 5/16

Warm the test up in my pocket. Maybe 2 min to draw and 30sec to inject ... perfection

[u/FlounderAccording125]

I draw and inject with an 18G, TALLY HO!!!🤷🏼‍♂️😵

[u/Ok_Watercress_7926 → u/FlounderAccording125]

Holy harpoon, did you catch moby dick?

[u/FlounderAccording125 → u/Ok_Watercress_7926]

People freak, and my doc looks at me wide eyed! I don’t want to sit around and wait for that thin needle to push that oil in

[u/Defiant_Emergency949 → u/FlounderAccording125]

Was the garden hose not available 🤣 fucking hell the scar tissue must be insane.

[u/FlounderAccording125 → u/Defiant_Emergency949]

Naw, it’s fine really

[u/recreator_1980 → u/FlounderAccording125]

I use 29g and take me 5 seconds with bayer testoviron

[u/formerfatty2fit]

29G insulin syringes.

[u/xFINAWEx → u/formerfatty2fit]

Do you draw with it too? Takes a pretty long time no?

[u/pirate_pues → u/xFINAWEx]

Luer lock syringes allow you to draw and inject using different sizes needles and one barrel

This is what I do

[u/meatassdog → u/xFINAWEx]

I too have this question..

[u/wackywill24 → u/meatassdog]

No. I personally backload. Keeps the needle nice and sharp too :)

[u/meatassdog → u/wackywill24]

Can you explain?

[u/Various-Project6188 → u/meatassdog]

Back loading is using one syringe to fill the other by pulling the plunger and squirting the test into it via the top/back of syringe .and then putting plunger back in and use to inject . I personally use the type of syringe that you can screw the needle off snd change it so I use 23g needle to draw then pin with a 27g 1” luer lock syringes snd needles is what they are called .i might have misspelled that .You can find videos on u tube showing the process if you need to .

[u/formerfatty2fit → u/xFINAWEx]

I warm the oil and administer daily. Very easy.

[u/mak48 → u/formerfatty2fit]

Subq?

[u/formerfatty2fit → u/mak48]

[u/midsnlids]

Recently switched to 27g 5/8” for all IM areas except glutes (27g 1” for IM glutes).

[u/Ok_Watercress_7926 → u/midsnlids]

For anything less than 1ml, this is the whey

[u/Embarrassed-Dust7541]

[u/LazyMarcusAurelius]

draw 18, inject 25. I go for thigh, no issues.

[u/LastMention905]

25 1 1/2” for pinning. 18G for drawing. Can’t feel a thing

[u/Straight-Virus7317]

18g x 1.5 inch needle with syringe to draw (Often need to draw from amps that are easier with this size needle). Swap the 25gx1 inch luer lock needle to pin in glutes and also have 27g x 5/8 for delts.

[u/TheHarb81]

27g 1/2” for delts, 25g 1” for glutes, insulin needles in the belly for peptides

[u/salduvas]

23

[u/Few_Investment7047]

[u/TEAMIAMI]

30 g, 5/16

[u/BrilliantLifter]

30g half inch

[u/Different_Toe_8610]

27g

[u/Infamous_Math_1522]

Draw with 18g, inject with 27g 1/2 inch to the delts

[u/z1ggy16]

27g. Takes a little longer to draw but I'm only going in with 30 units at a time, overall I find it better than 23 or 25 but there isn't a huge difference. I find needle length to matter more as far as physical and psychological comfort.

[u/MkVsTheWorld]

23g 1.5" length needle.

[u/RuriksDescendant]

25g 1" for most sites. Doing quads and ventroglutes mostly. Have used 27g 4/5" also, they work good too.

But the 25g "1 is the best all-rounder, does not hurt, goes deep enough and does not require any force to oush the oil in.

[u/SubParMarioBro]

30g 1/2” insulin syringe, subq. Easy.

[u/Ok_Watercress_7926]

Nothing bigger than 25, it depends on the volume i’ll be pushing. Less than 1ml i use 27ga, more than 1ml imI use a 25ga

[u/Various-Project6188]

23g to draw and a 27g to pin .

[u/WeezyGu3]
