hey guys what size needle would be best for oil-based IM injections, i was thinking 25ga?

i've injected water-based stuff with a 22g and it was rather unpleasant...

I use 27g, have had no issues so far. Used to use 25s

27s go slow for me, I use skin pins for everything but quads and glutes, 23g 1inch

Man up! 1.5" 18 g, anything will fit! LOL!

I load with 18's, shoot with 23 1's in glutes, 25 5'8 in chest, lats, delts, and 27 1/2's in bi's/tri's.

When I first saw a 23, I thought holy shit this is going to hurt, I had the 1 inch ones and it didn't hurt a bit. I then got the 1 1/2 and though fuck me these are long but liked it better. I then tried 25's, 27's, slin pins and felt they caused lumps, the gear didn't feel like it went in right, pushing so hard to get it out. It was a pain. I went back to 1 1/2" 23's and love them. Easiest way to inject.

depends on the sauce. i get some stuff that i can pull up relatively easily with a 29g insulin needle. love it. other stuff is just too thick. what matters is the diluent.

IM is 21 to 25 though (by the book).

I use insulin syringes for most of my IM shots. Never had any issue with lumps and I have used them at different levels of bodyfat. Some oils are a bit slow to draw with and some you cant at all, just backload if thats the case with a 23 gauge.

1 inch,23 g for me...................... ..most of the time.

you don't have a problem pushing it out though?

For most sites such as delts, pecs, tris and the few times I have hit bis, 25g 5/8" have been perfect. I actually have been using 25g 5/8" on my quads too and that has been going great, as well.

23g 1 inch crew

Not at all. I would guess it takes me 30-60 seconds to inject but I am perfectly fine taking a little bit longer in trade off for even a chance of reducing scar tissue with smaller needles.

Either 22 or 23 gauge. Never tried anything higher. For ED IM - the 25 gauge + is the way to go. At times, it does get a little painful.

Same here - try your local pharmacy first. I get 100 syringe+needle for less than $20

If usng slin, warm the vial in hot water, draws and injects easier.
