I'm normally just on a TRT dose of T, but have tried other compounds over the years. I do everything subq. As a result, I've played with a LOT of different needles to accomplish different things. My normal TRT dose is accomplished with a BD 31g, .3cc insulin syringe. Yes, you can draw and inject with it, it's the small barrel that allows it. Trust me. 
It draws and injects 10X faster than a 29g 1cc insulin syringe because the smaller barrel generates higher pressure. Anyway...
I've also done larger amounts with a BD305536 which is like an insulin syringe's big brother. 27g, .5cc. It draws and injects fast with the 27g and a long skinny barrel.
The nice thing about these syringes is the zero dead space, and the total barrel size is close to the total volume injected so measurements are accurate. I am currently on .25cc of test cyp twice a week. Easy to measure on a .3cc syringe, hard to do with the 3cc syringes the T clinic originally gave me.
But, I recently ended up with some test base (water). It was a screw up on my part during an order, but it's here so what the heck. It's a different animal altogether. I knew not to even try with the 31g syringe, but the 27g BD305536 didn't do a great job either. So I dug out the old 3CC 23g monsters and did about .25cc subq. Smooth as can be, no PIP, and draw and inject were easy. But I HATE those syringes and I hate the screw on needles and the deadspace, and doing subQ with a 1.5" needle requires some care.
So, off to google to see if I can find one more syringe to add to my arsenal. Found it.

Ordered and on the way, I'll update with results later. I just MIGHT try to switch from my test cyp twice a week to nightly injections of test base of about 10-14mg. We'll see, but if I do I'll post in the TRT section.
Cheers.
