Hey guys not sure if this is in the right area. If not feel free to redirect me for next time. I have to buy some more needles and can’t find 23 g 1 1/2" anywhere I am only finding 22G or 25G so my question is can I inject sustanon with a 25G or will it not get through the needle. Thanks for everything
I would use 22 just to be sure its not too scary
I had my first pin with a 22 and it wasn’t bad

Yeah I pinned with a 22 yesterday and have enough to get through next week but I do prefer a 23 but I guess I’ll just run 22’s
I pin with 27g and put everything through it.
I found drawing with 22g and pinning with 25g works great. It’s a bitch to draw with the 25g and the needle is sharper if it does’t go through the stopper and then my glutes, but then, I’m a pussy! Tried 21g for my first self shot and it sucked!

Try drawing with a 18ga then switch over to a 23-25 for injections, so much easier! Nothing pussy about not wanting to pin with a dull needle. I never used the same needle I draw with, needles are so cheap that it only makes sense to switch them out before pinning!

I haven’t ever heard of sustanon to be very thick so I would say go with the 25G higher gauge which is a smaller needle and less damage inflicted to the muscle.
You could inject subcutaneous with even smaller insulin needle. Watch this video:
But I remember the good old days of 18G and 22G im injections, back when we walked to school barefoot in the snow, uphill.

Right on bro thanks for the input. 22 G sucks i couldn’t believe the difference from 23-22 so much more pain lol. I am glad to know I can use 25’s

Basically what I do! Extract with an 18g… pin with 25g… that 18g is like a straw! Oil comes out with absolutely no issue lol
I’ve never pinned with slin needle before… I didn’t think SubQ shots worked well with oils??? I was also told it had to be IM…
For me the 27’s work for everything and they are a good compromise between slin pins and the regulars. No need to backfill and they are quite small and nearly painless.

Didn’t you see the huge screen with video above?
Made by the doc that is re-writing all the TRT dosages and protocol. Sub q testosterone injection is what he uses (video shows him pinning himself and he gives do’s and don’ts)

Lol blocked at work so no I didn’t see it. I do now tho so I will check it out…
I usually draw with a 21g and pin with a 25g as well.
HOWEVER, I did score some slin pins (both 28g and 31g) it can make a huge difference! The 31g is absolutely ridiculous, it’s awesome for those tiny hCG pins, it’s 1/2 inch long and it literally slips right into my delt, its great. 28g are also great but they’re only 1cc so if you’re running a lot of oil it becomes a hassle.
25g is definitely the happy medium, cuz those 22g can be brutal sometimes.
