Injecting

[samuel888]

Hey guys.

Would love to ask what you all do for injecting.
What size needle do you guys use to avoid PIP.
Tips in the comment section please.

Everybody is different and has different ideas that work for them so your going to get a fairly wide gamut of answers here. I'm also going to go out on a limb and assume your asking about IM not SubQ injections.
Personally I use a 25gauge needle, go into the muscle at a slight angle (70-80 degrees rather than say 45 like you would for SubQ), depress the oil quickly into the muscle without rushing (never timed it so can't be more accurate than that). I also avoid areas like the quads and inject into glutes and ventrogluteal areas when using 1ml or more.
Hope this helps.

I also use 25g. I warm it up to body temp, especially in winter. I rotate glutes and delts, two delts, two glutes, twice weekly shots, works for me. 20 plus years ago, when I was more adventurous, I did lats, biceps, triceps, pecs and calves as well. Only did quads twice, hurts like ****, so stayed away from them.

I hear alot of different opinions with which needle to use on the shoulders. I was using 25G for my shoulders then heard that it doesn't go deep enough into the muscle. But must admit that most the time a bit of the liquid does come out when I pull the needle out.

Now I'm using 23G (I also use the 23G on glutes). What's your thoughts on this? @MrThepagedog @Nugget

PIP, I've never really had this.. not that I can remember anyway.

I use 25g inch and a half on shoulders and glutes, you can get all different length needles.
I buy all my stuff from a mob called Glass Vials Australia. They don't ask questions, and it turns up in a couple of days

I heard this as well and experienced same thing. Not sure if it matters or not ...?

@slider45 gotta second what @Nugget has said.
I use the same needles and use the same source for them. Have never had an issue.
Length of needle is going to be your main issue usually rather than the gauge of needle unless your making huge jumps like going from a 25 to an 18 or something crazy like that.
Another thing that can make it seem like the oil is coming out is that your pulling the needled towards the surface while injecting, make sure you've depressed the syringe all the way before begining to pull it back out, that and the correct needle length should prevent any oil coming back through.

Hi guys, piggybacking onto this discussion (which I hope is OK).

I have never injected before, I see support for 25guage needles which is easy, but I am curious about how deep to inject test e into my glute.

The longest 25guage needle I can find on glass vials Australia is 5/8th inch.

Is this too shallow?

cheers

I always use 23G on my glutes.

 

[sillychilli]

Same here 23G on glute and delts

If you’re lean 25 will work, slightly longer 23 is better for most

thank you

Also on topic, I have read that you should / can use a higher gauge needle to extract the liquid from the vial and then switch to a 25g to inject.
What do you think?

Cheers
