Is a 26 gauge needle OK?

Are these biceps, delts ? What spots have you been hitting succesfully? If you dont mind me asking?

This week, I have pinned delts for the first time (both sides--and my left hand is pretty retarded) and quads (my normal go-to) with 29g slin pin. I now have a bunch of 23's and 25's to sell cheap

Really, except for drawing (some back fill, some just wait it out--takes about 3 minutes to draw up a ml), the 29g slin pin has been perfect in every way. No blood, no sting, no problem. I've been converted by this week's experiment. I will say that I did notice a difference between brands in terms of force necessary to push the oil through, though.

Draw with a 18-20g for easy drawing. And use anywhere from a 25-27g to inject. I prefer 25g for quicker injections but a 26-27 will just be a bit slower..

I use a 18g to draw with. I was using 24g to pin with but after reading this I'm going to buy some 27's in the morning! I didn't think it was possible with how thick the oil was-can't wait to give it a shot! (pun intended!)

Just expect a slower push with the smaller needle. But that is not a bad thing as it may reduce PIP. I try to ease the oil in over the course of about a minute, so now I find I actually have to hold back on the slin pin a bit.
