What size gauge?

[Southern Comfor]

What size dart do you run with oil based gear? For instance, lets say Test Prop in the glute. Will a 25x1.5 do the trick? They are a little more user friendly than the 22s I have lying around. Or will it be hell getting it to push through? I know it depends on its viscosity, just some opinions.

I use 25 gauge all the time for everything besides the glute. I usually use a 23 when i stick in the glute. I use a 25 for tris, chest, delt.

Your a bigger man than me Fonz! I cant imagine anywhere other than the glute, maybe quad. How bad are quad injects? OUCH, in the tri? You think the 25 is too small for the glute? When you stick a 22 next to a 25 you start thinking! I just want to be sure the prop will push through the 25 in the glute.

Another question! Could I use the same syringe over and over and over when pulling winny to hit orally? Or use it once and then trash it? Its sterile of course, that would just be A LOT of syringes(60) to pull once a day and trash em. Maybe use one a week?

yeah, you don't need to worry too much about sterility for oral products, but always use a new syringe for injects. They're too cheap to re-use for that.

I dont like quad injects b/c mine are always tight due to some of my training. But tris/chest/delts are easy as pie. Bi's can be kinda a pain in the ass sometimes but another goodie also.

ALWAYS use a fresh syringe for injects. How far in advace do yall preload? I was thinking 3 at a time? That way you dont tear up the rubber with the 18g? Thats only 8 pokes with the 18, it wont tear up the plug that bad.

(8 weeks) 28 shots of prop in one area may be alot. Don't guess it will kill you but you may want to look for other areas. There are glands in your body (head, armpit, below waist, and feet). These glands remove impurities. The glands closest to the impurities do the work. Also "leftovers" of the shot take longer than 2 days with prop. I guess you can stay in the glute but it would be better to find some other spots as well.

As far as needles, if you go to the doctor and he gives you a correct shot of testosterone its a 20 gauge 1.5 inches. Thats the producers reccomendations for Depo (I've given them). Go with at a minimum 23. Many don't think it matters but trust me when you get that drip coming back out after pulling, your wasting. For much less puncture pain stick the skin quickly, then push.

A lttle pricely for me- for the money I will stick with Gear Box.

I find most gear flows a lot better through 23guage needles. It especially helped me when doing quad injects, since i do 3c''s in them, my feet would fall asleep while trying to push all the oil through the 25's. And for some odd reason i though that weas unpleasant. I just about use 23's all around for now, give it try>....

Damn brew, 18g??? Whats wrong? They dont make drinking straws big enough?

 

[optimalbalance]

Nothing wrong with an 18. Don't have to push hard and you get great, quick, shots. Personally, I don't feel much pain differance ecpecially the glute where theres no pain at all. The pain comes from setting on that golf ball in your ass cheek which isn't as bad with a bigger gauge. To each his own but I don't feel anything under 23 is worthy and reccomend a 20.

 

[jaywooly]

I will reccoment only a 25 to anyone. The is absolutley no need for anything more trhan that.

The quicker you push it in the more sore the muscle gets.

 

[da_Fonz]

Not to mention the more chance of it coming back out when you draw the needle back out of the muscle you just stuck it in. Also, i hope you like getting some of the rubber from the stopper in you since an 18 will destroy the stopper and most likely will end up in you.

 

[da_Fonz]

I'd love to see you stick a 20 gauge in your biceps or anywhere else besides the glute. Youd change your tune if ya did.

This is why I don't even draw with 18's. 20's are plenty to draw with, no need for anything more. Sucks to have a little piece of rubber floating in your gear and one day you don't see it anymore...

I was seeing if you were paying attention. I use 23 below the waist and 25g above. I used 20 before, but 22-23 are much more comfortable. I do draw with an 18 though and jay is right it destroys the stopper but I'm too impatient to use a 23.
