Lately, I've been having a hard time achieving a successful pin. I'm taking 80 mg twice a week of test etho for TRT. I use a 1mL syringe and a 23g 1” needle. Whether it's my glutes, outer thigh or delta, I'm left with some kind of inflammation. Usually, it's a hard swelling that's slightly sensitive to the touch and warm. I'm not going to name the brand but I've tried the test cyp as well and same results. I have a hard time believing that I'm doing something wrong because I've been taking this for years. However, maybe I am and someone can share some feedback. I tried sub inj as well and that went very bad. Would've preferred that way due to frequency. Welt lasted 3-4 weeks. Is there a specific carrier oil that I should consider? Maybe switch brands all together? I'm happy to pay for a quality product if I know it will not lead to. Should I switch tools? Thanks.

Holy crap... you use a 23g needle? That's what I use to draw out the oil and backfill it into a 31g insulin syringe LOL
That sounds brutal.
I found the best though is a 1/2" 31 gauge to the side delt. A little soreness sometimes but never too bad.
You don't have any issues pushing the plunger down? You're using a 1 mL syringe too? Only asking because I tried the insulin syringe with a 1” 27g and couldn't push the plunger. Eventually the needle bent 90 degrees. Tg it didn't break off inside of me!! I'm going to try using a bigger syringe with the 27g. You must have very smooth gear.
If you're actually 225lb and sub 5% body fat 1 inch will definitely go into the muscle
Does my profile say sub 5? Lol. Should've been a 2 in front of that 5.
You're not into the muscle and 23 is HUGE for trt. My trt is 75mg a week and 850 on testing. 29 ga slin pin sub q. Pharma. Ugl can cause lumps
note-trt subq q is for trt....not cycle kids....

I've had low t since I was a teenager (46 now) and never had any consistency with the endocrinologists I went to. First it was the gel, then it was a monthly shot at his office. Only so much I can handle with that kind of service. Nobody ever wanted to write a script out for the depo test. You see a local doctor who prescribes it or is it a legit online company? I went to a chain clinic last week. They wanted $240/month for just the test cyp. Absurd.
So... youre not new to gear, right? Youve used gear in the past successfully? Since trying this new brands test C and E, youre getting inflammation? Yeah, my guess would be the carrier oil perhaps.
Without knowing which one you use... id suggest trying whichever one youre not using. See if that improves at all.
Yes switch tools.
Its ok to tell us what brand youre using. Thats what this site is for. Chances are you could just be having an allergic reaction. In that case... you wouldnt be hurting the brands reputation. If the gear isnt brewed properly, they need their reputation questioned. Gotta keep these sources in check.
man idk how some ppl use anything under a 27 gauge. call me a puss but fuck that. I used to shoot heroin too lol. I use lure locks and draw with a 23 then swap to a 31g 1.5inch to pin.
Does the 23 leave less of the topper material in the vial? I use 21g and swap to 27g to inject and I swear by the last 3ml of a bottle I always stick a needle in there and pick up all the little pieces and throw the whole rig away lol.
I've never noticed anything floating around towards the end.
I wonder how many of us here are former heroin addicts who shot dope?
Puss
I’m a big puss to, I pin with a 27g
Shit I draw with a 25 and inj with a 29 or 30 unless gluten, ill inj a 27 there.
I will use 27 with my drol/TNE for delt shots. but my other injectables all run thru a 31
I use 16ga, literally cores a piece of my body out every time I pin, 14x per week
Ive mainlined with an 18g once or twice. Not to brag.
I usually use 18ga when I'm pinning the bottoms of my heels
you're a sick fuck
Yes
Nah I'm JK I use 25ga different lengths.
