[TD][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]We get so many questions each month that we find it hard to answer as many as we would like. We only have so much time for the many varied questions I receive. However, there are certain questions asked often that merit answering on a regular basis.

Please, Contact Us![/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q: How do I choose the size of needle to use when I inject a steroid, and what do the numbers mean?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A: This is a question I’m asked often. The number does, indeed, represent the gauge of the needle, but it’s deceiving because the larger the number, the smaller the diameter and thickness of the needle.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In general, the steroid and its viscosity will dictate the needle diameter. Here is a good guide:[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Glute:
> Oil-based or Large particle water-based (Winstrol V):
— 22-23 gauge needles: 1-1 5 inches in length (This size is good for injections in the gluteus and thigh areas for deep muscle injection)[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thigh or Deltoid:
> Oil-based or Finely ground water-based (Test. Suspension/Zambon Winstrol):
— 25 gauge needles: 5/8 inch (Can use for oil injections, or small particle water based ‘roids in deltoid and thigh area)[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]> Insulin, HCG, GH:
— 27-28 gauge needles: 1/2 inch in length (Used for subcutaneous injection or intramuscular injections into smaller areas)[/FONT]

thank you very much

 

[dorian123]

have to disagree with the glute-25 gauge works just fine

Ah, but a 25-gauge, at what *length* Pushing viscous oils through a 25-g, 1.5" needle is incredibly slow.....Just simple fluid dynamics.

22 is for thick oils. 23 is a good all around guage. I think I have some 25s somewhere. I think just as important is having an 18 guage to draw and just switching the needle to a 22-25 for injecting. Just sticking the needle through the rubber with a 22-28 can bend or dull the tip and make it a little more painful. It's nitpicking but hey when you are sticking yourself 3 times a day it starts to add up.

true but slow is good when injecting...the bigger the gauge the more scar tissue over time

Doeian beat me to it. The slower the better.

yeah i have to use a 22 gauge 1.5 inches . I hate having to push forever. But thats just me
