Damn! That thin?! For oil injections? How much oil? Because I'm shooting up with 2ccs of oil.

I prefer 23 gauge. Sometimes 25 gauge for smaller muscles.
Why 23 over 25? Why not just use 25 for any muscle? Why does it only have to be for smaller muscles?

Mously just personal preferences I guess, no other reasoning behind it execpt avoiding scartissue when doing more local injections i.e. Biceps with 25G. Most of the time when blasting, I'm using just 23G pins, but if I'm doing several ED ijections, and have to constantly rotate injection spots, I will also use 25G pins. Even when injecting 2-3 ml at once, just got inject very slowly, especialy to smaller muscles. ( no, I don't iject 3 ml's in my biceps,lol! ;-) )
I'm injecting every single day. I usually just go for delts and glutes. Already getting bad scarring in my delts.
Solution? Instead of using 21guage, switch over to now 25gauge? Remember, I'm injecting up 2cc's of oil.

22gram 1 inch always... works fine
Why a thicker gauge for delts and finer one for glutes?

Yea, I would try to go few gauges thinner... I used to pin with 21G or 22G all the time to every spot I was using, and also ended up with fair amount of scartissue in those sites. If you are like me and think 25G is abit too thin, (they work well for some injections, but are not very convenient when injecting 2-3 cc's/ml's of oil) I would def. rec. to give a try to 23G, good option between too big, and too thin. They have served me well, and now I use my old 22G pins only for drawing.

25G 1.5" for thighs.
Yes sometimes up to 4 times per week. It's not a big deal.
Always 25g 1 inch for larger volumes and if doing cruise doses then I use slin pins.
I rarely shoot more than 1.5 cc's at a time. I have never had a problem with anything that I have ever run.

That's just what I had on hand at the time. It honestly still smooth, atleast in my experience. When I first started pinning I used a 21g 1.5, never again....

if you use primo its really tough to use anything thinner than 23G
i like 25G 1 inchers. i will pin 3CC's at a time with a 3CC syringe, simply because i hate injecting. you won't be able to aspirate when you do that obviously so those of you who insist on aspirating not gonna happen

The primo i get goes through 25 gauge just fine at 200mg/ml.
I always inject 2cc's all the time, daily. So you're saynig a 25gauge needle won't do it? I should just stick to 23 gauge for injecting?

This fucking guy! LOL What up LedHead!
yeah i want to run UG primo but i am worried about getting ripped off.. what brand are you using and how do you like the results?
i have only run pharma grade and the shit was like injecting motor oil.. can't do it

Depends how it will for you, it seems to depend on person a lot, and also what you are injecting.
23G= easy injection, and everything goes through very easily.
25G= less scar tissue, but injecting larger amounts takes a while.
Just my thoughts & experiences with matter. I also use slin pins to inject HCG and peptides SubQ., but never even tried to get anything oil based through them or do any IM injections with them. I try to keep a fair amount of all supplies needed for different injections "stored". So during many years of time I have evidently ended up with one box minimum of every pin > 20G.
Anyway I would give a go for a bit thinner pins, if you are getting too much problems with scar tissue. Those 21G pins will cause quite an amount of scar tissue when you are injecting ED basis. They are great for drawing though.
LOLTZ @ harpoon!
In Led's case that can be a fair assessment, lol! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

25g 1" for delts smaller muscle
25g 1 1/2" for gluteus/quads
25g 1 1/2" for gluteus/quads
Turns out I've been using 22 gauge this whole time. Is 23 gauge any thinner than 22 gauge?

It is but you wouldn't even notice.. 25g are noticable thinner than 22 or 23.
