I just got my order from GPZ. I made a HUGE mistake in ordering 22g needles. The fuckin things are HUGE. I'm afraid to stick something that big in me. I didn't think there would be such a huge difference.
It was a very slow go with Test thru a 25g so I figured I'd go a little bigger. Went too big, damn!!
I use 22g all the time. Particularly with Winny.
I laugh when folks think a pin causes pain. I've broken my first lumbar vertebrae twice. That hurt a little but a 22g needle. Come on. I poked with 20g's before.
No way! I'll use the 22's if I run out out 25's otherwise, NO WAY! I'm a pussy when it comes to needles. I'm amazed I actually got up the balls to shoot myself to begin with let alone inflict more pain with those harpoons!
I use 22's also.... they are a happy median between 25's and anything bigger than 22's.... I remember when I did my very first cycle, I was a little baby about the needles....my buddy did his shot first (he had done several cycles already at that point) and he accidentally used an 18 to poke.... he was watching me watching him in horror and he just decided to suck it up and finish the poke rather than stop in the middle.... he then told me to look away because as he pulled the needle out, he had a squirter... I probably would've passed out *smirk*
I just started my first cycle a few weeks ago and yeah the size of the 1.5 22g pin's was a little intimadating, but I didn't really have a choice. Anyways, I've had no problem with them at all. Trust me, just get some of the oil dripping down and it goes in like butter. I'm yet to have any pain during insurtion. Good Luck
my first cycle i only used 20's i actually kinda liked em, cause the stuff went straight through in like 1 second. WIth these 25's it can take like 30seconds to a minute to get it all in.
I use 23's all the time and have considered going with 22's. You should be just fine as long as you follow proper injection protocol. Always inject with a needle that hasn't been used to draw. Draw with one needle, and then change to a new/fresh one for the inject.

Anyway its much more dangerous to use thin needles, oil flows so slow while injecting that you tend to push the plunger too hard, risking hurting yourself.
Use your 22's for butt injections. You will be amazed how little you feel. Have you ever seen a blown up photograph of the tip of a needle? It is constructed to minimize pain. The leading edge is extremely sharp, like a knife, which cuts cleanly making way for the rest of the pin to insert itself effortlessly. I wouldn't look at the needle too closely, it just makes you think too much. Instead just use it.
Yeah, I had the same happen to me. Usually used those on the glutes and quads. 18g is a harpoon for sure, but once you pierce the skin it goes through muscle like its butter.

Come on man.... There isn't that HUGE of a difference between 25 and 22 gauge... And Man up bro, it's the same pain, doesn't hurt more, you can do it.... Just use the needles, you get used to them....
My next poke I'm gonna use the 22's. Yesterday I used a 25, the problem is that it's so hard getting the test through the needle that I actually cause more pain because I'm squeezing the pusher so hard that I twist and bend the needle when it's inside of me, (fuckin hurts). So next time I'll "man up" and go for the smoother and easier transfer through the bigger but more intimidating 22.
My friend's first EVER inject was in his left calf with a 18 or 20 gauge. 250 Test E. He was using one to draw and one to inject, but got the two sizes mixed up. He was using 23 and 18. He drew with the 23 and injected with the 18 (or 20) don't remember exactly.

My first cycle I used 21's and didn't know they wern't reusable. I used the same 3 needles for a 14 wk cycle, 3 pokes a week. By the time it was done it was like shooting with a spoon! Ah the good ol' days! Actually that was only about a year and a half ago. Ah a year and a half ago!
WTF?????? When I was on vacation down in Mexico I had to use the Sostenon 250 preloads. Thats like sticking a Bic pen into your ass! lol....What is alittle pain when the results are so rewarding!
