Need advice! Best syringe gauge for TestCyp?

ad

I recently grabbed some TestCyp and was wondering what the smallest gauge syringe I can use that will still make the draw smooth. During my last cycle of Sust I used a 25 gauge and it were fine but would prefer a smaller gauge if possible. Just don't want to make the inj more difficult because the gauge is too small... I'm considering 23 gauge this time around. All advice welcome!

Smaller the gauge, wider the needle. I think you meant larger gauge which would be a thinner needle. For example insulin needles are 29g, 30g and 31g. I use BD 25g 5/8th" 3CC needle/syringe combo. I find these to be perfect for my weekly testosterone cypionate injections. To me BD is the best brand out there. The needles are always very sharp and don't dull as easily. I always use an 18g to extract out of the vial and then swap the needle prior to injection. Now you can extract with a smaller gauge needle/syringe and load it into an insulin syringe. This is effective for smaller doses. You can inject testosterone subq. It doesn't have to be IM.

You hit the nail right on the head. I got my wires crossed when I said I was considering switching to 23g, thinking it was a thinner needle... I previously used a 25g for glute/delt injections and was wondering if a thinner needle would work instead? If so what gauge would you recommend?

I used from 18g to 29g with zero issues. The smaller the hole the longer it takes. So it's up to you and I wouldn’t make it complicated.

It always depended on where I was injecting. If it's a smaller muscle group, like bicep, triceps, or calves, its been 28G. Bigger areas, like glutes, can be as big as 23G, but 25G is what I've got it pinned down to. Yes that's a pun

I have, won't do it again unless needed, I was just using it as an example mainly

Tried it twice in the early days with just 1ml - Never EVER again Lol Chinese water torture would be more enjoyable for the 5 days afterwards ...

Large animal vets use a lot of 16 & 18g.
I have not seen any complaints.

You realise the draw pin and injection pin are 2 separate needles don't you? It sounds like you are using the same for both. To draw I use 21G 5/8" and then to inject 25G 5/8" - I am naturally lean though so never have a problem getting deep enough into muscle.

I used 25 for glute and delt for delt half inch for glute 1 inch even for thick oil I will use same but it will take longer time

It all depends on the carrier oil. If it’s thin I pin with a 27. Ive even used 28g slin puns for thin oil. But I have 27g 1/2 that I like to use for Delts and lats. If you’re under 15% that should be fine.

I don’t use anything bigger than 25. No need to pin with a 23 unless it’s crazy thick.

23G × 1 1/4" or 25G x1" for glute and quads
26G 7/8" for shoulders or triceps
26G x 1/2" for chest or calves (advanced only)

Does a bigger #G = a larger or smaller gauge size?

DfromPhilly's picture

Higher number = thinner

ChemDawg2000's picture
