I found out that I can get 1 1/2" 25gauge syringes at a local pharmacy, though only 10 at a time. Anyways, is 25gauge too high or is it good enough for injecting into your glutes? I may take a trip over the border to Canada and see what they have, living in NY is a hastle.     | ||

It is difficult to use a 25 guage with the oils, but not impossible. I did it once...once! You should heat the oil and will have to put a lot of pressure on the plunger when shooting. With all this pressure you tend to move the pin around a bit in your muscle causing minor damage and soreness. I would keep looking for 23 or larger | ||

I have to disagree on this. I never use anything ticker THEN a 25 gauge. Heat your Primobolan (one of the tickest oil solutions) in hot water and shooting that is very, very easy. With a 2 cc syringe of course, not a 5 cc or 45 caliber. Hehehehe ------------------ Don't look back, life is too short | ||

You should be able to get any size syringe/needle in NY as long as you buy less than 10. I live in CT and we have the same law. I had to search around at like 4 different pharmacies until I found one that didn't give me shit and had the right size in stock. ------------------ | ||

I am using #25's and the oils are pretty hard to squeeze out. Heating definitely helps. The best thing is they are almost painless going in and very little bleeding. | ||

25 is all I use for legs, biceps, and shoulders. I use 22 for glutes. | ||

Well...I took my first injection ever tonight. My ttokkyo deca, 1cc. While not thinking very well...I used a 25g to draw instead of my 23. It took about 5-7 minutes just to draw it up. Felt like a moron. Both my 25's and my 23's are 1 1/2". I shot 1/2cc with a 25 in my delt and 1/2 cc with a 25 in my thigh. Very little pain if any at all. Felt a little in my thigh...but nothing like I expected. I am a pretty good sized guy, close to 290lbs and not too fat, and got the delt one in almost all the way. The thigh one was nearly all the way in too. Looked pretty deep to me. As I sit there about to inject into my glute and delt...I realized that after my chest pump...I couldn't reach my delt very well...nor my glute at all. I had to sit and wait for my pump to somewhat go down so I could reach my delt...then just opted for the thigh instead of the glute...just easier to reach. All in all...I may try the 23g for my glute...but if the 25 will work I will stick with them or sell. B True | ||

just be a man and use 18's like i use with my redijects. nah, i wouldn't use those things if i didn't have to, but i'd say that 25 would be hard to squeeze out. if it were me, i'd probably go with what enzo said and use 22's. that's my opinion anyway. i hate using whale harpoons to inject. ------------------ | ||

I switched to 25's and I really like them. Takes a little longer to inject, but I like that part of doing gear anyway, soooo.... Just be patient because in the long term the smaller gauge will leave less scar tissue. | ||

You could do it but I would grab some 22g a lot easier! Mass Monster |
