22 gauge to draw and 23 to stick

[LiftMaster]

Just curious as to what everybody out there is using. I got test E and plan on using 22 gauge to draw 1.5 and 23x1.5 to inject with. Mostly glutes and outer thigh. Although I kind of want to use 21 to draw, but can't get my hands on it. So will 22x1.5 be alright?

Ya 22g is perfect

22g is perfect for drawing, 25g is amazing for pinning!

Sounds good, but wouldn't using a 25 take too long? I suppose if it's less painful then that's the one I would go with

21 or 22 or 23g for drawing, not a big difference IMO; they all work. I use 21g but 22g isn't much smaller.

As long as your hardware is sterile, work with what you got and you should be fine.

I draw on 18g, pin 25g.

22-23g for drawing the gear will be fine...25g 1.5" for injecting, no need to go to base of the needle if your bodyfat is 15% or below, one inch in will be deep enough...smooth and painless...be sure and warm the gear up under hot water after drawing it out to get it to around body temp before injecting, really helps out with the soreness...won't knot up and be sore if the solution is warm...also highly recommend the quads for the injection spot over the glutes, easier to self inject and less painful IMO.

i draw with 19g and shot with a 23g anything bigger it takes to long to inject !!! i even used a 21g to inject ....... it hurt a little bit so did the test 400 i was using too hahahah

22 to draw and stick. I have noticed much of the gear (at least "recipes") using blends of oils and Ethyl Oleate (EO) at varying percentages. One of the main advantages of EO is its lower viscosity thus lowering the overall viscosity of a solution when used in a blend or as a standalone. Anyone have any real experience with EO blends and its ability to be drawn and pushed through higher gauge pins with comparable concentrated gear?

Take me around 10 seconds.
Thats for 1.4ml

agree.. cycled for many years using 23G ans switched to 25G..OMG!!! you don't even feel it..amazing.. not that much slower for inj at all. don't understand why everyone doesn't go with 25G!

I don't understand either! It doesn't take much time at all to dispense the solution into the muscle using the 25g, especially when you heat it up after drawing it out of the vial...25g is as smooth as butter and no pain whatsoever. I use to use 18g, then went to 21g, then to 22g...now I'm at 25g and will be there for life!!! Due to my HRT of course!!!
