I’m curious on everyone’s opinion of needles size/length and area of injection? I have been using 1/2” 25G to draw .14ml or roughly 43mg daily and injected into delts and it’s been just fine but I would love to hear about y'all's experience!

22g to draw. 25g 1” to pin glutes and delts
Draw 22 pin 25. 1" for quads 5/8" for delts
I have a pretty solid supply of 5/8 do you think I’m losing much of the IM benefits using them in quads and glutes?
I draw with a 22g or 23g. I use to draw with an 18g and one time had rubber in my vial so always kept it a little smaller since. I pin with a 25g 1inch. I could do up to 2cc in delts, lats and quads and up to 3cc in glutes. I would recommend keeping it around 1cc per injection site per week. Better to alternate more with less oil per shot.
Draw 25 make takes time to draw but I don't suggest anything bigger when you're puncturing 10ml vials as many times as we do especially seeing the majority of sources on here use cheap non pharma stoppers..
Nipro 27g thin wall will pin smoother than @ruperpupkin gfs blowjobs and it flows like butter when you warm up your oils before pinning and drawing.
Look into thin walls trust me and this is who I order from.

30g 1/2in easy touch for delts, lats, pecs.
Deeper is better for me. There has probably been 100+ forums started on this just topic alone , so type it in the search bar and read opinions then form one for yourself. This goes for the majority of “noob” or new user questions.
These meds were designed with IM in mind, and personally over the years I’ve found deeper causes less pip, is smoother, and generally gives me way less issues. SubQ leakage is very possible using 1/2-5/8 and even 1” in some spots.
I use 27 or 25g 1” for delts, lats, bis, tris, pecs, and everything except my quads and glutes.
27 or 25g 1 1/2” for the tree trunks. (Quad/Glute/VG).
Needle size is nothing to be scared of. Fats and oil absorbtion just never made much sense to me, but these newer guys have seemingly tried to make insulin pins and SubQ injections a new normal. It obviously absorbs, but again- overwhelmingly I see issues with more shallow shots than deep ones.
General thinking is more blood flow = faster . Muscular tissue in general has significantly more blood flow than SubQ, but again it will absorb no matter where you inject. It may dissipate faster or feel that way in fat as it’s not as dense.
A little thing I like to do is have guys just hold the needle next to whatever muscle they’re pinning… unless you are absurdly skinny even a 1 1/2” needle isn’t going to be hitting bone or anything dangerous when injecting Quads or Glutes. Same goes for 1” needles everywhere else.
I have occasionally used a 1/2” or 5/8” in a pinch, but again they have always had the most issues so I just use what’s tried/true and works for me.
Peptides 29-31g 1/2” in SubQ tissue.
Though really the newest studies and evidence shows it all gets absorbed practically equally in terms of efficiency. Vials and medical textbooks will say “for IM use only”, but this is only because it was studied this way when pending FDA approval, and thus was the guidelines.
You can do whatever works for you with the least amount of problems!
Very well said, Sir !!!
DRAW 18 INJECT 25
23g when injecting more than a ml for me. I’m impatient. Otherwise I’ll use a 25 or 27. All 1” just like my penis.
That's a big penis!
Just a “little” humble brag.
20-22 gauge 1" for draws
25 guage 1" for glutes
29 guage 1/2"slin for delts.
Daily pins
Yup
THIS !!!!
Im going to have to try 29 gauge. 1/2""
If you do some digging on the zon, u can find 27 guage 5/8" slin pins . I have a box, going to try them for glutes
Easy find ty. Going to order some 29 for cruise
Np bro
Exactly what I use for glutes and then a 29g 1/2" for everything else: delts, VG, lats.
Right on kp, I need to make the jump to vg and stop being such a wuss
I get weirded out every time I pin the VG by literally how I feel nothing. That one and lats. They're the best spots.
Pecs weird me out lol. Stop doing lats a couple months ago after hitting a nerve. Did traps once and it just didn't feel right. New fav spot is tri longhead
Perfect, exactly what I had in mind!
I use 27 gauge 1/2 when injecting under 1 ml of oil. With 1/2 inch i inject everywhere except glutes cause of depth.
Gotcha! I figured glutes might be the only area needing an 1” or more depending on the fat %. I might move to a smaller gauge since I do such small daily injections!
I warm the oil up which helps with smaller gauge needles. Why daily?
Big fan of Dr Todd Lee, but he explains that daily injections will create a flatter constant level of test as opposed to 2x or 3x a week injections. It might not be that much bigger of a difference but I’ll do whatever to be as safe as possible.
Todd is great. Those who know him will tell you that he is very knowledgeable about pharmacology and is a great coach. Expensive to work with him but he knows his thing. I worked with him once and since then I’ve been using 31g 5/8in slin syringes for daily delt injections. All you gotta do is cover the syringe with a heating pad for a few minutes to warm the oil. Easy and pain free.
Edit: pro tip to not dull the needle, get a vial spike and luer lock slin syringes.
