what gauge needles are the best for injecting?

[IMT staff]

I like 25 gauge to inject, sub c leaves a weird nodule for me

 

[Jparker82]

what gauge do the dr's use and what is good for self injections? I have heard muliple things, wondering if 22 is good?

I use a 1 inch 22. Same needle to draw and stab. I use a 1 1/2 25 for B12. I sort of like the 22 better. Seems stiffer and goes in easy.

22 or 23 to withdraw, 25 to inject. Drawing with 18g or 19g can damage the rubber stopper.

Another 25g here

Currently using 20g. They come standard with my pre-loaded syringes.

Started out using 23g to pin. Switched over to 25g for pinning, 1.5 inch for glutes and 5/8 for delts. Smaller gauge goes in much smoother, but I noticed that when my hand wasn't super steady pinning glutes, it wasn't as firmly planted and moved around a bit, which caused greater PIP the next day.

Drawing with 23g is slower than 18g, but that extra few seconds doesn't really matter. And if you use proper technique when piercing the rubber stopper, you can't tell the difference between a 18g and 23g hole, and no rubber pieces floating.

" And if you use proper technique when piercing the rubber stopper, you can't tell the difference between a 18g and 23g hole, and no rubber pieces floating. "

What do you mean proper technique? How many ways is there to jab through the stopper? I'm being half serious and half joking...

22g to draw, 25g to inject. 25g takes some time to inject (30 seconds or so for 1/2ml which is 100mg). I'm actually quite surprised at how relatively painless a 1" 25g injection is for me when done in the glutes or quads.
