Syringe Sizes

[Sabin1]

I’ve been using the same size syringes for 3 decades…23 ga 1” (oil based). I use an 18 ga to pull and replace with 23”. I recently came across some 25 ga and they worked great and noticed at TRT clinic they use something even smaller looking like a TB syringe. What is the smallest gauge that works for oil-based product?

I use TB with Winny. I can pull in Test Susp with TB, but sometimes I can’t push plunger to release contents.

I fluctuate between 25 and 27ga for oils. Personally I see no reason to go any smaller than 27ga IM. Not if you’re going sub Q then that’s another story.

23 g sounds no fun. Go to 25/27g. 1 inch.

25-28 here. I use shorter needles due to being shaky and arthritis . I just bury the shorter ones and squeeze as best as I can.

For me basically 25g 5/8 everywhere except
Bis and traps I use 27g 1/2.

How do you pull up the oil into a 27? Does it just take a while or do you swap needles?

My next thread was gonna be about point injections. I personally prefer my quads. I definitely don’t think I have the balls to pin my biceps and definitely not my traps. Is it true that it makes the stuck muscle bigger from the oil alone, like that synthol pump-n-pose stuff.

Not sure about making the muscle bigger.

I’ve injected my lats quads delts glutes

Biceps aren’t big enough for sure

Draw with a 20g

My biceps do swell a little. My right more than my left. For whatever reason. Veins I suppose. I do not care much for the swelling. Looks awkward. Ya the arm is big and shit. But Iooks sloppy. I was able to put 2.75ml in there comfortably. Might as well go 3 right?..... Anyways the muscle getting bigger is only temporary of course

No quads for me. Was more of a mess than a hit. I missed many leg days because of it. In no particular order I rotate biceps, pectorals, side delts, rear delts, calves... Rarely do traps.

I'm sure @rnmuscle will remember the old Mexican syringes lol. Fucking shit was like barbed wire going in and out. I don't see how anyone can complain nowadays about needles after shit we went thru in the 90s lol.

It doesn't make the muscle bigger but the appearance can be bigger temporarily @Sabin1

It will increase the volume if doing daily injections with the oil and also over long periods of time create scar tissue.

I love this forum. I visited a dozen others prior to this one and all they did was fight and talk shit back and forth. Not busting balls, but major shit talk. I never posted bc if you said/asked something stupid (something they considered common knowledge), they would take turns making you feel dumb as shit. I don’t mean breaking a forum rule…that is understandable to an extent. I can take shit talk, but if I don’t have to….
Everyone here is so nice and helpful. It’s obvious that y’all are very close. Refreshing.

Ha. Yeah all we could get in high school was 21 gauge. LOL

I/we will take that as a compliment.

We pride ourselves on being adults and not some acne riddled kid in their parents basement that has nothing better to do than play keyboard warrior. We’ve thrown many folks off of here for being “bullies”…. Can’t punch a loud mouth in the face here so we silence them. No question is too silly except asking for sponsors. We don’t do that. Collectively, we can answer most any question.
