pin guage

[trulymassive]

ive been using 25g pins and i hate that they take so long to load. ive used 23g witch abviously loads/unloads faster. i want to try 22g but i was wondering if that would feel like sticking a nail in my leg. please let me know. thanks

Yes but why don't you just buy pin w syringe that is 22 guage and then a box of just 25 needles either 1" or 1.5"(depending on where you inject) and once you have loaded the barrel swap needles to the smaller size for easier entry into muscle!

Ditto, except I buy with 20g to draw, then switch to a 25g to inject

22g is no harpoon. I use them religiously. I never have injection pain and usually the needle is in b4 I ever notice. I also have a friend that comkplains about the shot. I laugh at him. I have used an 18g b4 only cause it was all I had at the time and I expected it to hurt but no pain. Also most people just run the needle right in, They dont think about hitting nerves or veins, I do not do this. I shoot in either buttock or shoulder I first find my nerve run my finger down it so I know to stay clear of that area. I then put the point of the needle where I plan to inject, then I apply slow even pressure to guide the needle in. If you go slow enough you can actually feel if you hit a vein so you know if you need to move or adjust the poke. I do not even check for blood anymore cause I 100% know when I hit a vein. Every now and then I will catch one but hitting a vein isnt even that painfull but hit a nerve and you will sure know it. I started cycling off and on around 7 years ago and always use a 22g. That is what I am using today. The shot is the easiest part of being on juice if it's not then your doing something wrong.

Yeah dude, you should be switching out the needle from when you draw into the syringe and when you inject into the muscle. Use a 20 guage for drawing and a 23 or 25 guage for injecting. I just posted a question about this yesterday if you read down the posts.

I cut back to a 22 for drawing if its a 20ml or over vial it cuts the stopper up abit after a while , and if you heat the gear like you should it draws easy'r n shiz ,25 to shoot for me i think you get more scare tissue after years of 20g's .

it's always good to use a draw pin 18-20g for drawing. 23, 25, 27, 29 for pinning. Use the highest gauge your solution will go through.

Buy 20 or even 18 gauage to draw and then unscrew the needle and replace it with a 23 or 25 gauage to pin.
