Pin talk!!!!

1 inch vs 1/2 inch or! 5/8in

The Gauge Game
23G vs 25G or! 27G

Well I’m currently using 23G 1 1/2 inch. I was on the 25G 1 inch for the longest .... but being a lil more massive I decided to go up in length ... also up in Gauge....

I noticed a big difference immediately
- it doesn’t take forever anymore when pinning it’s ultra smooth !

Pinning Delts n glutes

What do u Guys prefer ???....

Just a few days ago I made the switch to 29 gauge, sub q. .25mil sus 350 daily. So far so good!

jimmie's picture

Yeah so a few days later and I'm starting to think sub q would be better suited for a much lower dose ie trt, as opposed to daily shots. I thought the .25 mil would be low enough to not cause an issue. I'm starting to look like I've been paint balling lmao

25gx1in 80% of the time. It does a great job for me. I usually inject slowly , so imo, it's the best. 1/2" for certain muscles. I've also pinned before with 23 and 27g. Usually depends on what I'm injecting or maybe all that I had at the moment.

1" 25g for delts, quades(2 spots), lats, and vents. 1.5" 23g for glutes. Prefer the wider Guage for glutes as its and awkard position to hold for me. And always 3ml unless it's my trt pin, in which case I use 1 ml barrels. The good ones w/the nipple on the plunger. Love those.

18 gage right in the quad. Man up.

I’m just joking. I use a 25 gage for my quads. Even then I gotta be careful. I do it right after a shower so the quad muscle os nice and relaxed

Quad shots give me the best result but I have been on a ventro roll ....

Depends on the oil personaly on gauge for me 23g for thicker and 25g for thinner but 1inch is always my go to if im pinning 1cc or 1.5cc but any more than that then defo 1.5inch to go deeper.

Always keep plenty of barrels & pins in many sizes.

27ga 1 1/4 in a 3ml barrel ....with mct oil it pushes thru just fine....less scar tissue and to be honest less pain...after 14 or more weeks of pinning shit gets sore, ( at least on this old guy), so the smaller the needle the more comfortable I am...( no homo)...glutes delts vents...I’m a long ester junkie and 6 pin spots work well in a rotation....

press1's picture

You like to start off small and work your way up to a bigger plunge over time do ya Drock? Lmao

Drock_357's picture

Absolutely!... I prefer to “ease” into things..better yet for things to “ ease” into me......the pin I mean!!...lol
No homo....

3ML and 23g 1.5" everywhere I can reach with exception of calves.

I don't go over 2.5ml anywhere and only that much in glute shots. 1-1.5ml everywhere else.

Its a EOD- Daily deal for me until I decide to reduce mass.

Keeping under 3ML minimizes abscess and/or other issues and when you are looking at decades of pinning longevity is key.

This what works for me.

Now that’s what I’m talking bout .... wen bigger u go deeper ... I feel like I’m getting better results with deeper penetration no homo lol

Up your pin sites too. Add ventro-glutes, quads (some don’t like those but I do), and lats.

Zalewski's picture

Ventro glutes is the best injection spot imo. Lats are fucking odd always cause I’m not really sure when I’m done if I’m being honest, I just push till I feel like I can not anymore

Bearded_muscle's picture

Yeah I raise the arm up and basically go in from the front so I can watch it. Usually 1.5 per but I’ve gone up to 3cc in the past.

Sosa123's picture

Imma have to agree with you on the lats ... just me reaching for them feels awkward haha

I started off on Green 1.5" as I thought it was the only option available - I use to sit pinning those buggers all the way into my chest initially whilst on the sofa watching TV Lol Then I think it was someone on here who suggested Orange 25G's to me so I started with 1" then moved down to 5/8" on everything including glutes. No doubt the deeper in you go the safer it is but as I love to pin everyday I couldn't be doing with all that pain constantly.

Thank you coming through Press as always with the awesome feedback n personal experience....

No worries bud :-) I recently used a 5/8" Green into my ass and the mix flew in so I know exactly what you mean about way less plunging time with the bigger needles. Best way to get around this is just to Heat the barrel once you have the orange pin on for a while until you get a few droplets of gear come out of the end of the pin due to heat pressure - this way you know it is heated just the right amount. Whatever is in the barrel then goes through much better.

If I pinned 1&1/2 inches into my chest I would hit my LV! Holy shit lol

Bjmoney85's picture

Not gonna lie this thread helps a newb like myself a lot! I bought a box of 100 25ga 1&1/2 inch and I’m wondering now if that’s to much!?

There you have it people ....

DO NOT DRAW WITH THE SAME ONE YOU PLAN ON PINNING WITH!... yes I’m yelling but I’m quiet now ....

I’ve always just done 25g, injection time doesn’t matter to me as long as I avoid bigger issues (infection, scar tissue, abscess)

25g and 5/8 for delts. 25g 1in for glutes and quads.

Halsey's picture

When Ive used 1/2" in the delts in the past. I could occasionally feel a lump after the injection. I always thought it wasnt going deep enough myself. 3/4" might be ideal for delts for me too.
