I'm not that much of a woman haha. Over here I can walk into the supplier and get them in person. The woman (very hot by UK standards) that served me knew exactly what I was using them for, wanted to look like a man and go for the lowest gauge I could bare. So bought 50x18 gague to impress her as well as the 23's even though I had no intention of using them. She just shook her head and muttered 'twat' as I left.
Good rule of thumb bro, 23ga x 1.5" for glutes. 25ga x 1" for quads, delts and most other locations.
Quads shouldn't hurt once you break the skin. IF you are in the right location. If you are not it will hurt like hell. There are also a lot of nerves in the quad to hit. I have had to pull out after a half inch and re insert many times. Just make sure you aspirate wherever you pin. Yes, even glutes. You never know. takes 2 seconds and its a good safety habit to get into.

Nice one, cheers for the advice. At the moment I'm really comfortable with glutes. As I said, I pinned my quad earlier for the first time and it was painful but that's probably bad technique. I make sure to pull back too, don't want to risk injecting into a vein for the sake of a couple of seconds. But yeah. Don't know what I was worrying about earlier, I guess it was just all in the mind.
I have pulled back a syringe full of blood a couple times. twice in the quad and one in the delt. Could have been very bad had I injected.
With the quad, sit down and look at your quad. draw an imaginary cross on the top of your quad. You want to inject in the upper, outer most section. Go down over the side and inject in from the side perpendicular from your leg, not down from the top. When you are all the way in let go of the syringe (it wont go anywhere) it will center itself. You might be surprised that even if you go in how you believe is straight, once you let go it may now be at an angle. Now grab it and hold it in the position it wants to be in and inject. Sometimes the pain in quad injections can come from fighting the angle the needle wants to be at. I dunno if that makes sense the way I described it.
Also with the quad you need to insert the needle very SLOWLY. That way if you come up on a nerve you will feel it coming and you can pause then if the pain subsides, move on. if not pull out and move slightly and re insert. Also inject slowly too. No matter where you pin. It takes me about a minute to inject a ml. We don't want any pooling oil.
For real experienced guys who are super lean I suppose it would be fine. The longest slin pin I have seen is 5/8". even if I were 4% body fat and the gear was 100% EO I still don't think I would want a ml or more of oil 5/8" under my skin.
I have seen some guys that do ED multiple injects use a 3/4" 27ga in the lateral tricep head.
u seriously have used slin pin to inject oils? i've got 29G and the oil drips out slowly.. it would be a long process to inject
