pinned another 18 1 1/2 gauge today

[Smitherine]

I'm enjoying 1" 25g for a change. Usually I use 1 1/2" 23g.

This. 25g is the shit. Virtually painless everywhere.

I can't even imagine an 18g. You are crazy...

Done that as well... its like sticking with a capri-sun straw... but a little sharper.

I got my shit raided once long ago and had to use one needle for the last 5 pins of my cycle with NO WAY to get new ones. By the last shot it was so fucking dull i felt like i needed to find a hammer to tap that fucking thing into my glute.

Ice pick and a sledge hammer...get that baby righttttt in there! you are a boss!

The 5/8" 25g are brilliant for all the tricky spots too. Love 'em!

 

[Bullishness]

Fuck that.

Big boys use 18 guages for the pleasure ... Just kidding.

I was pinning with 18g for a few months lol I had started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and still new to everything and didn't bother to check what guages were the needles. the wrapper they come in are 23g attached to the syringe but, the ones that are seperate that you're supposed to use to draw are the 18g. well i was watching the youtube videos at that time on how to inject, and in the video he has the one syringe with needle attached, and he draws with this one and then takes it off and replaces it with the fresh needle and injects.

Well I just followed exactly what he did and after a couple months I posted here asking, why do I keep bleeding? because I know it can happen sometimes but, it was happening to me like all the time, and people were mentioning ways to avoid it like keep the pin in for 20-30 sec. etc. but nothing was working. So I ended up giving slin pins a try in the delts and haven't looked back, now also doing quads and triceps and everythings been going great.

Anyway I eventually found out the reason I kept bleeding was when I had receive my latest shipment of meds. and I couldn't find the 25g ones and so I kept looking and looking and then I finally noticed that the syringe already has the 23g on it, and the extra needles are the 18g. so because I was following that youtube video. I was drawing with the 23g and then I would take it off and put the 18g on to inject lol when i finally realized this i thought this was strange that they would do this, this means that you have to take your 23g syringe, take off the needle, then put the 18g on, then draw, then take the 18g back off, then put the 23g back on. damn glad i'm just sticking with slin pins now, so much easier!

I ordered a Vitamin B-12 10ml bottle and it comes with 30 - 25G 5/8 pins with alcohol swabs and bandages and pinned the delts and it was very smooth going....no pain at all.Didn't even feel it go in.It said to pin it IM (intramuscularly) I was surprised but that it was 5/8 instead of 1 inch but did it anyways.

Probably would try the 25G for now on for the delts......Alot better than a 20G for the Quads.I would think that a 23G is a sweet spot for the Quads.

18G is a Harpoon!!

Unless you are using ampoules you don't need 18G to draw. 23G draws perfect and I never heat my bottles.

23G x 1" for all injects - glutes, thighs, delts.

You guys are crazy. I tried pinning with a 20g today (I didn't realize I had forgotten to change the draw needle) and that shit wouldn't even pierce my skin. Something wrong with you meatballs.

yeah it fucking hurt, but the oil wasn't long entering the muscle.........lol. I usually use 23 gauge and no we don't have 24 hour pharms in my part of Canada. they're a little funny sometimes with selling darts, I guess they'd rather you shared them around and spread disease and shit, fucking idiots.
I ended up getting 25 gauge today as they were out of 23, and they're alright, just a little slow going on injection.
