I love the unity in advice the guys give
Dude it's totally up to you...I first heat up the oil by placing the vial half way in hot water for about 2 mins. Don't heat the water in a microwave. heating on the stove is ok. I use 18g 1in to draw EQ into the syringe and then change to 25g 1 1/2in. I only do glute shots and everything goes perfect each time. Yes it takes a little longer to inject with the 25g, but it's best to only inject up to 1cc per every 10 seconds to prevent a possible oil bubble on your butt so the extra time will do you good. Again it's up to you!!
Eh bro, you really only need a 23g for almost everything. Glutes, delts, and quads. I use a 1.5 for all of these. Remember that you do not have to stick it all the way in.
1.5 is perfect for quads, a lot of people (experienced people do quad injections wrong. You shoot into your quad at an angle towards your knee cap. Thats why a 1.5 is fine.
As drjmw mentions, you should be injecting into the vastus lateralis muscle (lateral midthigh area). Needle is inserted one inch (parallel to the floor or directed at an oblique angle to the surface) 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. Depending what you are shooting, there is hardly any pain.

if you are a fairly lean person, a 1 inch needle will be just fine in the glutes even. I use both 1 and 1.5 needles but my favorite is a 23 gauge 1 inch (not one sore injection yet)

It's important to remember that there is alot of veins in the skin and fat layers covering your muscles. It's possible that you nicked one of these blood vessels on the way in to the muscle. The fact that your bleeding doesn't mean your in a vein inside of the muscle. your biggest concern is that you are in fact, in the muscle deep enough. The least chance you'll have of hitting a vein is in the ass.
