Gauge needle to draw Test E

[Blaster22]

I did a search and it seems like everyone injects with 25gauge 1.5 inch. What gauge do you use to draw it out of the vial with. Is 1.5 good for glutes and quads? Thanks.

I use an 18G to draw, 1.5 is good for everything, need a shorter pin? remove the plastic safety cap cut 1 inch off the tip reinsert ,there you now have a 1 inch pin with a safety stop.

i like to use 23g on inj, even that takes a long time with e susp-ion. use 21 to draw. sometimes i wonder if using a bigger guage to pull with that i would inj a piece of rubber. but that just a mental thing

18-20g

Haha I was about to ask Wouldn't cutting .5" off of the end make the needle dull?

Than I thought about it and thought about it again and understood what you said.



Also I heard from a good source that if you inject while sitting down in a hot shower it feels a lot better.

I use 20g to draw & 23g 1" to push into thigh.
No need to go kamikaze and chop needles, they are cheap anyway. buy the size you need.

I use 18g to draw and 23g 1.5" in glutes, 23g 1" in quads. I always get a lump if I use 1" in glutes.

Regarding 18g causing rubber from stopper, I rotate the draw location each time. I've seen a chunk of rubber missing from the top before I started rotating the location, and I don't know where it ended up... My hope is that if it was in the syringe, the 23g would not let it pass through.

i use a 22g 1" to pin in the quad same thing to draw from the vial also (and yes i swap to a new needle before i inject) lately because thats all i have right now, need to make another order.

I would use an 18 or 20g to draw with.

Blaster, been using a 21g. I read a lot of posts indicating that 18s might chew up the vial. The 21g seems to work just fine. I drew with 21g 1.5" and used 25g 1" last night in quads (first time) and it was smooth as silk. I still don't feel a thing.
