Refresh my memory on pins...

[bunkka]

What is the advantages or disadvantages of pin size for different compounds?

Does anyone know of a good thread that really gets into the logic of 'what' guage for 'what' compound, etc?

I know there is something to be said for how LONG it takes for an injection, but all things being equal, is there any issues such as losing some of the compound because it can't make it through the pin?

My system is to load the syringe with an 18 gauge pin and inject with a 25 or 23 gauge pin.

If you're going to use a seperate pin to load and inject, it makes sense to load with a canon (18 gauge). You can put 3cc in a syringe in under 10 seconds with one of those babies.

For all oil based gear I use a 25 guage 1" pin to inject. It takes some time to push the oil through but you want injections to be gradual anyway. And the 25 guage is virtually pain-free.

For water based gear like winny and suspension, you'll need at least a 23 gauge pin for injections. Or, if you're a big fella doing glute injections you'll probably have to go to 23 gauge just to get a 1.5" needle.

For sub-Q shots like HGH or HCG (HCG can also be shot IM) you can use a slin (insulin) pin. These are 0.5" long and 25 or 27 gauge.

NYDJ66 has it down right, but i use a slightly different outline.

delts and chest shots are hit up with 25 gauge.
quads and glutes with 23 gauge.

water based gets hit up with a 27g in forearms for hcg, or in triceps or biceps for winstrol (although id much rather drink winny)

forearms for hcg huh? Never heard that. I have always done around the navel. Why the forearms satch? And where exactly? Is that even less painfull than the stomach?

i use 23g pins to shoot and 18g to draw up. i havent seen the need to change yet. works for me.

I shoot with a 23 or a 25 depending on what i'm using. I draw with a 20, i don't like how a 18 puts huge holes in the rubber.

this is true. after a while it does chew it up pretty good.

Even with a 20 my b12 vial is getting pretty bad.

same for me........23 g is the perfect balance between size going in and the speed you can shoot at. 25g always leaves me bruised because it takes so long that the needle moves around a lot. 23g is pretty much pain free and if you heat the oil in water first it flows very nicely.

agreed but 25 and patients on the quads

yeah, buffalo...i use 20 to draw..for b12 i use ins pin,all else inject with a 23.

but 02, what about heating? are you heating oil based AAS, please explain..never tried that..but then again, 2cc's of hot oil into my ass seems kinda painful..

This way everyone will just think he's on heroine. It throws the feds off.

If you heat your gear with warm water it makes it go in easier. I'm not saying bring the shit to a boil and shove it in your ass right away but just warm it up a little. Just 1-2 miutes under tha faucet work's fine.

20 to draw, 23 1.5" to shoot in the ass...if oil, you can't go wrong with that. Painless.

23g 1.5 for glute
25g 1in for delt and quads
slin pin subq for hcg
and i do not have the balls to inject in calf or bi, or anyother spot injection
6 spots works for me.

 

[CENTURION44]

anyone use 29g for subq HCG shots...is the belly a good spot for that stuff

i use the 30g .5 in from getpinz, and just pinch the fat around belly button.there was a past post by tux i believe with some info supporting that subq or im results the same. somthing i found is to inject real slow then rub the hell out of injection site, because you can fell the lump afterwards, when i rub lump disa pates (sp)
