Good info bro. Greatly appreciated. Thats good the doc didnt lecture you.
slat bro, trust me you are missing out on some nice easy injects. It just seems creepy injecting quads, but they are simple and painless if you do them right. I just recently started doing this as well. Here is a post I posted fro Burning Inside. Might help you out a bit.
A lot of people (experienced people) do quad injections wrong. You shoot into your quad at an angle towards your knee cap. This results in less tissue resistance. Thats also why a 1.5 inch pin is fine, cause of the slight angle.
You should be injecting into the upper part of the vastus lateralis muscle (lateral midthigh area). Jab the needle in so that its inserted one inch toward the anterior aspect of the thigh. There are no important nerves or vessels in close proximity.
Look at this link. http://www.netsvic.org.au/nets/handbook/index.cfm?doc_id=632
Its for an infant, but the principal remains the same. You also have much more muscle that an infant (hopefully), so it goes deeper on the angle. I just recently starting shooting quads and they are great. If you are doing them properly ... they will be completely painless.
