Smallest gauge needle to pin with.

I have read some about back loading and different gage needles. I've only used 23 and 25g would you be able to inject through a 30g needle? Would the oil be able to pass through that. I've read people using 29 and some 30 just wasn't sure if it actually works. Is it possible to inject with 30g needle? Will it just take more time?

It depends partly on the exact product, the type of oil used, viscosity etc.

Test cyp in grapeseed oil hasn't been a prolem through a 29g, do it all the time.
Patience helps. A small diameter syringe barrel is likely better than using a 3cc with a fine needle.
 
Ok awesome I'm starting to get some scar tissue build up just going to try to avoid it getting to much worse. I'm good with patience an extra minute or 2 for less pain and less scar tissue.

Very true. Take your time and go smaller on the syringe, should have no issue. I usually use 25g no prob or pip.
 
I wouldn't recommend using a slin pin for a cycle. Most guys that use them (29-31g) use them for TRT. The difference being that TRT is usually a MUCH smaller volume of oil.

25g is plenty small enough, and I hardly notice it when piercing the skin/muscle.

My .02c :)
 
I've used 25 just feel like if i can use 30 that it will be worth the little extra injecting time for almost no feeling from the shot.

It's totally up to you. I would think twice though if you have any excess body fat. Most slin pins don't exceed 5/8", so you may end up with some subq injections, leaving lumps.

Otherwise, it's totally doable.
 
I see no need to go any bigger than a 25G, I find it the perfect size. As mentioned, type of oil used can make it harder to push through... Heating it up with a hairdryer helps this!
 
I draw with a 23 gauge and pin with a 25 gauge for everything other than stuff
that requires a sub-q injection.

LOL - when I first started I did everything with a 21 gauge!!! :frogjump:
 
Yeah I draw with a 21G, but Primoteston Depot is VERY viscous, otherwise when I am drawing UGL stuff I usually just use 23G.

I've been having a hard time finding a 21G 1.5 for drawing - I'm hoping RUI will bring these in when they restock.
 
bulk syringes.com has 20 and 21 and i think even 18 gauge. not sure if its ok to post source for needles. if not sorry. ill edit it. the only needles i could get when i first started was 20 or 21 gauge also so i pinned my first cycle with those. that was a bummer. i guess I'm just becoming more of a baby the more cycles i do. i found 30 gauge 1 in needles and 27g 1 1/4 in. i guess I've had enough bad shots to want them all to be good. i figure 30g will make it as painless as possible.

I wouldent pin with any smaller than 25g IMO. 23g for glutes and 25g for quads and delts etc.

get 23 or 25g needles IMO

I've done site injections in small muscle groups with insulin needles. slow drawing, but work great in the traps. I split the amount evenly then train them. Tom Hardy traps on the way...lol
