Anybody else use 25G pins for Test?

Does anyone else use 25G pins for Test injections. I find them to be the least painful even though it takes longer to inject the Test. I'm just wondering.....

Sure. Wanna speed it up a little and make it easier? Run some hot water over the syringe before injecting. Oil will flow much more smoothly out.

 

[schwartzy]

Is it safe to do that?

 

[Johnny 138]

Absoluty bro, don't get it hot mind you. You don't want it to burn, just warm it up some to thin it out. Avoid letting tap water get near the needle and keep it capped. Let the water flow off the side and towards the other end. Completely safe. You can also do the same thing with your vials before drawing, you just want to avoid running water over the rubber stoppers on the chance that a very small amount makes it through a pinhole.

Thanks Johnny I'll give it a try.

25g has been great for me. I don't inject quads or glutes so when it comes to upper body IM's 25 is virtually painless. But it does suck if you inject over 1ml of oil.

Thanks Johnny I'll give it a try.

No problem bro.

Ive been thinking of doing quads or delts. How does that work out for you?

 

[Johnny 138]

I don't like quads personally. Lots of nerves you can hit. I rotate delts and glutes mostly, although quads do allow you a lot of control if you are not a real steady pinner yet.

I never thought about or tried using a 25 gauge needle for injections.
21 was for starters and switched over to 22 gauge.
They both feel like getting pierced with a sewing needle, but what the hell! lol
