For glutes, I use 23g 1.5" pins. I use 25g 1" pins for all other injections.

depends on how lean you are. I use them for the majority of my injection.they should be fine.

When pushing a heavy viscous oil through a 25G pin you will find that it takes a lot of steady pressure to get the oil through. but nice thin needle inject with almost zero pain and a smooth injection with less scarring of the muscle tissue

This :yeahthat:

Although it may take longer to shoot through a thinner needle. The slower you inject the better as you give the oil a chance to spread along the muscle fibres.

A smaller needle also means smaller tear in the skin and muscle fibres and less scar tissue.
