when you order 25g pins and you get sent 20g instead, DO NOT USE THEM!!! don't think "i'm tough, its only 9 weeks." send them back. i have to use a hammer to get them in, and it doesn't feel good, i promise.
Do you really think that 20 gauge is that bad? 25 gauge is no pain...20 gauge is a pinch that feels good cause you know you're getting better and moving up a notch on the food chain.
Yeah I had remembered the 18 gauges I got with the sust preloads for my first cycle as being "no big deal".
Then I used an 18 gauge yesterday for drawing only, and it was like "How the F** did I ever think sticking myself with one of these was painless". Just looking at it hurt.
