What's your go to gauge, length and capacity. Hypothetically for delts, glutes, and quads. I know it's been discussed randomly here and there, but drop it here for me, please. Thanks! :cool:

Thanks Nate! I'm wondering if I can sack up for a 25g......29 sounds awesome though.

doesn't really matter to me, I've used 1.5" 1" and right now have a box of 5/8" No issue withany but the 1.5 worry me in my delts (being too long) but never hit bone yet. I can pin 2ml or a bit more, in the delt now, 3 in the glute and that's what I usually use, rarely in the quad

23g 1" for IM into quad, 1.5" for glute. 25s take forever to unload and 21s make a bigger hole, so 23s are a good compromise.

22/23 1.5 seems to be all that's on offer - korea is a kind of one size fits all sort of place - except for insulin syringes. When i tried a little prescription hgh a few years ago, i thought those little duckers were actually rather painf. In comparison, I'm finding the 22/1.5 for parabolan a walk in the park

I feel so uneducated in this thread.

I did poke myself with a 29g syringe sub-q once, but that's what the internet told me to do.

I load with 21s and shoot with 25s everywhere (quads, glutes, delts). I use 1inch except glues which I use 1.5inch to get into the muscle tissue.

I can get away with the following maximums without causing a bad reaction:

glutes - 4ml (but I rarely go above 2 for absorption reasons)
Quads - 3ml (again but I dont tend to go above 2 in practice)
Delts - 1ml

I have done bis and tris but they are a hassle and I had to use 29g because I couldnt hack sticking a drainpipe into my bis! Never do calves. They are too rich with nerves and blood vessels to make a good pinning spot.

I dont know if you are knew to injecting but if you are, I would strongly advise you work up to the levels above and dont just shoot 4ml straight away or you might get some really nasty swelling and reaction to it. Start with 1ml in any area and over the weeks build up the amount whilst your muscle gets used to being abused in this way!

I'm like Infamy - load with 21's, pin with 25's.
I'll use 1 1/2" for quads and 1" for delts/tris.

I've considered picking up 23's for the quads because I usually pin more volume in them and it does take a while with the 25 ga.

On a serious note, I use 25g 5/8" (that was the magic pins joke that I got from Ippy) these days while blasting and a slin pin while cruising.

Define "a while"

I KNEW it came from Ippy, just couldn't remember the damn context!

So do you guys shop by brand preference or is a pin simply a pin? The price range is all over the place.....

BD is the only way to go with pins. I also load with 18's

Define "a while"

For me, maybe 20 seconds or so for 1ml.

I have used bigger gauge needles in inject before now but I find go much below 23g and you can get some big potholes in your skin and muscle which take a while to go away. Plus if you swim much or wear shorts for a job it doesnt look good to have needle marks all over your legs!

Ultimately, the bigger the gauge the quicker the inject but the more damage you cause doing it and so you may have to wait a while before you can use that same spot again. The smaller the gauge the less damage you do but some oils dont go through really small needles and it takes an age to inject as you get smaller.

I KNEW it came from Ippy, just couldn't remember the damn context!

As for brand, I use either BD or Terumo. On balance ive found terumo slightly better as ive had a few blunt needles from BD.

Sungshim, local Korean brand. I've seen BD sub-q pins, supplied directly by a doc. I suppose BD and perhaps some other western brand can be got, with a lot of effort and expense, and if I were a newbie that's probably what I'd be looking for; but I've gotten comfortable enough with the quality of most products here that I now live pretty much on the local economy (and not that great supermarket in the sky - the PX).

Thanks Infamy, I don't think I'd mind the extra 'wait time' it takes to plunge, it's the actual stick I guess? I figure once it's in, it's in so long as I'm not stirring it around! lol I've a feeling it's all going to be mental anyways.....at least I hope it is.

STOP COPYING ME, lol.

BD is my first choice, but I have Terumo too.


Define "a while"

It will vary depending on the base oil and the temperature, but 2cc's would take a good 15-20 seconds into the quads.

It seemed to go faster into my tris or delts though.

I agree, Terumo has never let me down, I had a couple experiences with BD where I felt I was jabbing, not piercing.
