Hey bro's! This might have already been asked and answered, so forgive my redundance in advance. What is the smallest pin one could get away with safely for injecting oil based gear? Think I got my little bro past his fear, but I will definately have to use a small pin on him. Also, are 1" pins any less effective than 1.5"?

it doesnt hurt to inject w/ a 25 gauge pin......nuff said....tell him to try it once, and if he doesnt like it, take orals...he'll like it

That's what I was thinking. Thank's Bro's. He showed me the pins he had used with some test and I was like holy shit. I think the needles were like 2" long and probably like 18 gauge! I said "dude...Your shooting gear, not clearing up a case of the clap!!"

The smaller they are - the easier it is for them to break off! Make sure he leaves enough sticking out to grab with some pliers in case of an accident. 23ga is small enough for me - anything smaller is just too flimsy!

I agree. I only inject with 23g pins.

Damn bro...22's are like harpoons. Why not just draw with a bigger needle, and shoot with 23's. Scar tissue aint fun to jab into.

I just feel the smaller the better...i usually use a 23 or 25g, and my quads have a fair amount of scar tissue in them. Its like leather you really have to punch thru, and it can be a bitch. Im surprised your having trouble injecting with a 25g...what are you using? Deca, EQ, test, tren all seem to go thru 25g fine for me...maybe your using water based winny or suspension?

heavy, is there a difference in the bite between a 23 and a 25 guage needle. I always use a 25 gauge and it works well for me

I have a question for you guys....it seems everyone is using 1 inch for delts...I have been using 5/8 inch for my delts/triceps. Is this long enough? I dont want to be wasting juice by not going deep enough.

even if it wasnt going deep enough, it will eventually all get in there....it will just take a bit longer....all depends on how big your delts are too. Might raise the risk of an abcess though

Ya I am currently am taking sus 250 ,
This is a great thread as I am playing around trying to find what works best being a newbie and all, I was finding that the chance of the pin moving around with a 25 was a worry as it was taking a bit for the product to get in me , with that said I have been told to go slow to prevent brusing .

I do 1 inch in my triceps. You can't go too deep unless you're hitting bone.


This guy tells his girlfriend one night, "I'm tired of the same old thing, I'm going out tonight to get me some new pussy" To which she replies, "If you had 3 more inches of dick, you could get some new pussy right here".

The moral of the story is, you can go too shallow, but you can't go too deep.
