I had a 25G needle and did my first test E pin into the quad, it didn't hurt much at the time, was sore like a motherfucker later. I had a shipment of 25G's that did not come in in time, and for the next pinning I used an insulin needle into the other quad. No pain, less sore, and the puncture mark resolved more quickly. It definitely got into the muscle, pressed flush against the skin. So now I am prepared to just use insulin syringes the rest of the cycle. Has anyone does this? and are there any concerns that I should have?
Pinning with Insulin needles @ 29Ga?

Plenty of guys use this method for injecting. The only things I recommend is to make sure you inject into muscle groups that dont have much body fat convering them to unsure to get the oil into the muscle. Also backloading the slin pin will help keep the pin sharp for your injection and make life easier. And pulling oil out of a vial with such a small gauge pin can be a pain in the ass.

Everything Schredder just said ^2.
I use insulin syringes for IM injections all the time when the volumes are less than 1ml.

18 gauge for drawing, 24 or 25 gauge 1" for pinning..
pinning with a slin pin is NOT gonna make the post injection pain any less bro... if it hurts a day or two later it's not the pin, it's the gear (and sometimes with short esters or high concentrations there's no way around it, just live with it)

agreed, I use 18 for drawing and 23 for pinning. I don't have any pain unless doing 3mL or more...at which point I know it's gear related or that my muscles don't like my EQ at 300mg/mL

You guys should try 20g for drawing. Comes out quickly but it tears up the rubber stopper less.

I use 20g for drawing, much better!!
And the comment that China made about PIP not being any less is correct. However, scar tissue will be much less with a smaller gauge.
