Went on vacation this past Thursday - loaded with 25s, preloaded my syringes because I was starting today.
Just did my first shot with 25s. Shot 1.2ccs of 250 Test E. It's not rocket science - just swab and jab in the more-or-less right spot, aspirate, slowly inject. Slight pinch. Hands were shaking like a motherfucker though, I expect a lot of pain from that tomorrow TBH.

25G hardly even feel like theres id a barrier at your skin , they feel like they almost just go in as if there was already a hole there , theyre great

Like some have said, I see no point in shooting with anything larger than a 25g. It is just building your scar tissue regardless if you feel that now. It seems like the viscosity of my gear is pretty smooth so it goes through a 25g just fine. However, for the last year, all I have been using is insulin pins to shoot (29gauge). In fact, I just ended my last tren cycle and I used insulin pins the entire cycle and it was great. Plus I am on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) so insulin pins is something I need to use because I am injecting year round.

What size needles do you use for those? I really want to try using 29g but they don't seem to make them in anything bigger in length than .5 inch. Were you able to get a longer needle or do you pin with the short needles? What injections spots did you use?

Works great man. Barely feel a thing. I draw out the test with a 20gauge and then I backload the insulin pin. So basically I remove the plunger from the back of the insulin pin and then I shoot the testosterone in the syringe and then put back on the plunger and then flip the pin right side up. The test will all settle and then you can push the plunger up and get ready for your injection. It works well and a lot of guys don't believe it but it is smooth. The syringe is smaller in diameter than a normal syringe so that creates a stronger force in there to shoot out the testosterone. It doesn't work with drawing. There is no way in hell I could draw with the insulin pin but then again, I like backloading so the needle is not dull. You would be surprised how smooth they are. I was doing my test shots sub-q for awhile but I didn't like the lumps and bruising I was getting.
Yes I just use the 29gauge 1/2 inch. If you are leaner they work just fine on the delts and quads. I do my outer quad and my delts and they are fine. When I inject, I really push hard on so the needle goes pretty deep and then I just inject slowly. Comes out smooth. I generally take 30 seconds to inject every time I inject. I just shoot 1ml at a time obviously. If I was going to shoot more than a ml, then I would just use a 25gauge.

Now that I am completely worked up about scar tissue...I'm going to try the insulin pins. I thought about it before because my wife is a diabetic and has a huge supply of these lying around, but I figured they would be too small-guess I'll give it a try!
