    Default needles

    I know the proper way to draw the gear out of the bottle is to use a larger needle then change to a smaller needle for administration. I never switch, I just go with one 23. Never had an issue.
    I have built up some scare tissue in my delts, but I do favor them

    I always draw with a 20 and then switch to a 25 and I still worry about scar tissue. I used 23's years ago, but I'm sticking with 25's from now on.

    I have been pinning with 20's...Pecs, delts, biceps. Would you guys rather recommend that I use a 25 gauge? I am sure it is less painful!

    20s??? That's the size they use for blood donations I think bro.. Like the Dude says stick with the 25s you wont feel like you just got hit with an elephant dart.. Imagine how the 20 cuts thru tissue and you will realize how scar tissue would build up quick..

    I draw with an 18 or 20 and pin with a 23 or 25. I'd never pin with a 20 or bigger, you guys that do are insane. I might as well just stab myself with a bathroom towel rod

    I have heard of people using a 20 gauge shotgun to draw so many times in one vial that the shitty quality of rubber seals that are out actually piece off not seen to the human eye , sucked up into barrel then either plugging new smaller needle and worse case senario going into the human body as a foreign substance causing health issue..Why the 20? Why not 25 after warming the filled pin with a hairdryer? Quality takes time. You don't see a Dr. racing to stick someone..

    Guys, I have to thank you for your advice on this...Pinned the biceps last night with the 25 gauge (5/8" length) - what a difference! Doesn't feel like I have dug a big hole in my arm! I know this was probably obvious to the veterans but to newbs little things like this are important...I know the biochemistry of the stuff well as that is my field of work but the practical stuff like pinning is learnt from this forum...Props to you guys! I will be able to stick the outer head of the biceps also no problem as well as the delts and pecs a lot easier...SHIT it was painful injecting into the pec with a 20!
