mrthrowawayI've definitely been there, curious to see what works for everyone else!
For myself, it comes down to pinning technique (angle/depth) and just taking my time pushing the oil.
I’ve had loads of pip. For me it comes down to brand. Have tried pre heating oil and inject site, massaging, not massaging, injecting slowly. None of these variables for me made any difference. If brand doesn’t give me pip I can inject cold and fast without issue. If brand does give pip then whatever I’ve done to try and remedy it has been ineffective.
I agree man, when it's a good brand and source I get zero PIP and I don't have to warm up the vial or anything. That source that has a lizard that blows fire out of its mouth, yeah that one gives me severe PIP yet my buddy can take it with no issues.
I have it badly with a very popular brand that most people are fine with. Not sure if can mention it on here though, need to check rules.
@RobertB80 and @Aggieguy
Are you running short ester compounds, long ester compounds, or a combination of both?
Enanthate
@RobertoB80 and @Ayyyyy I suppose I should have asked if you notice pip occurring more often with short esters long esters.
I only use long esters. Same as Aggieguy I get pip dependent on brand.
For me I noticed it depended on the brand. I can't mention it here because of rules but the one that has a super lizard that blows fire out of its mouth... or how to train your drag.. That brand gives me bad PIP no mater what the ester is. I have used short and long esters from a few brands and no PIP so just depends on the oil they use.
I have ran all of the above my man. I am currently running testosterone cypionate 200mg a mL. When I was on blast I was running the combination Test of P and E and D and C. 450mg a mL, No PIP from the source I use most. It is also legit test I have blood work to prove it.
Ive found that using the smallest needle you can (reasonably) helps a lot. since I downsized quad and glute injections to 27g and delt injections to 29g, the pip has gone down substantially. Looking back, I can't even believe I was pinning with 23g.
I fell asleep with my phone in my hands and accidentally downvoted you. I just caught that mistake now. I believe I have corrected that. @Toproll

Heating pad is prime
Idk if you can tell me what heating pad you are using here or not but can you please let me know via DM if that sort of talk is banned? Also, what temp do you heat to? @KPowers55
No idea the brand. Had the same heating pad for like 10 years. Heat my syringes up on low and blast my back daily on high and pip sites when it happens on high.
