I have used 27g 1in. For delts, little slow on drawing but well worth it imo. When I inject I like to go in slowly, and just make sure the needle is bottomed out so it doesn’t move around.

Did you use the 21G for your first injection? I did my first in the upper glute with a 21G, never did that again! use the 21’s to draw and the 25’s to inject. Like REED said, heat it up some; I like using a hairdryer.[/quote]
I was going to use the 21 since thats all I had but I got ahold of some 1/2ml .5inch insulin pins and I used those, I didnt heat it up and it took fucking forever to draw but my friend pushed the shit in fast as hell and my left shoulder hurt a little the next day. Got my 27g 1.25inch needles today.
Anyone ever used 27g 1.25inch???
couldn’t get the 25 so I figured it would be better to go down in size rather than larger.
Also should I really be pushing the needle in super hard when I do the delts? I dont know why but I feel the deeper it is the better haha.[/quote]
The 25g are painless for me so I stick with them. I can feel it when I have used 23g but not bad. You should be fine with the 27g if you can get them but like I said before warm up the oil and draw with a 21g.
There is a school or thought that feels the small 30g needles can actually do more damage then a larger gauge. It has to do with the force created to deliver the thick solution. Think of it this way; your water pressure at your home is for the most part constant. when you hook your hose up and run the water it does very little. Put a nozzle on the end of the hose and constrict the flow, the pressure increases. The theory is the same for needles.

Hit it with a book ^^^???
Anyway My needles are STILL not here ( i’ve ordered more) but Would it be cool to pin my delts again even though they just stopped being sore.
A little FYI, I pushed the shit in WAYYY too fast, wont be doing that again. [/quote]
^^ haha yep I’ve done that plenty of times. Then had to to explain to my girlfriend why I could move my right arm hahaha
Well just figured I would update this with how my first quad injection went with a 27g 1inch pin…
Last night it was great, no pain, not alot of blood, and I loved it.
I cycle 3 miles to work everyday, 1.5 miles of that is up hill…I was good when I left this morning but im guessing with my virgin muscle and the amazing pump I had, it aggravated the injection sight and now ( after my 3 miles back from work) I can say that this shit hurts.
Now to find my ibuprofen and stop being a puss.
Inject higher up on the leg the closer to your knee the more painful atleast in my experience
