Just switched to 25 guage from 23 - not sure if I completley like it

[MaxxReps]

I have to admit, 25g needles are less painful than 23. BUT one thing I have noticed is that it is obviously much more difficult to push oil through them, so you have to press harder and this results in it being difficult to keep the needle steady while shooting, maybe leading to more physical damage to the muscle as its moving around and up and down.

Anyone else feel the same?

I hear ya. Do you heat up the oil first? Always helps. I currently draw with a 22 and push with a 23. Warm oil makes a huge difference in both ease of pushing and PIP IMO.

Its a lot harder to push the gear through and my forearm does start cramping if I'm pinning a a decent amount of gear but the pins are so tiny I dont feel anything and that is a win in my book

Oh yeah ... I draw and pin with 20G ... I just have to be quick to put pressure on the pin site after removing the needle or quite a bit leaks out. But a 25 G on oils ... Nah ... For prop or Susp or Ace ... Maybe.

warm the oil, it will move a lot faster.

the compound will also have a bit to do with it.

Currently shooting my own gear which is mostly GSO. I'll try heating it. Quad shots are fine, left delt is fine but right delt and glutes are wobbly.

Essie man a 20! I like the 23ga. So use to it, never even feel the stick. 21 ga. Ok if I'm out of 23. Before I can make it to pharma.

i shoot 3 cc's of primo at a time in my delts with 25g... 25 is far less painful... it just depends on the product... everyone has their own preference as well... whatever works for you...
