needle size please help

INJECTION INFORMATION:

Injection FAQ:

*What size needle do I need?
The smaller the gauge the larger the needle.
22 or 23 Gauge, 1.5 Inch is ideal for injections into the glutes.
22 or 23 Gauge, 1.0 inch is ideal for injections into the delts/quads.
 
IMO required needle length depends on body fat. I am lean, I can use 1/2" slin pins for delt inj. I do this for TNE applications. I place bottle on hot plate of coffee maker for 2 minutes and it makes the oil like water. Cuts down on scar tissue. I also use 25g 1" pins for ventro glute applications. IMO, much easier to hit than glutes.
 
I have never felt a need to go smaller than 23g. Can't really even feel those. I hate when it takes forever to get the damn oil in and ur hand starts to cramp from squeezing the needle trying to get it through a smaller size. Going through a slin pin must just b redonkulous.
 
Quads and glutes hurt the first time around (virgin muscle syndrone) do yourself a huge favor and warm up the vial prior to injecting. Delts don't really hurt at all. Don't forget to asperate(very important)
