27G x 1/2 VS 25G x 5/8
Switched from IM to SQ a few months ago, been using 25G x 5/8 insulin syringe at 90 degrees in my incredibly fat belly. Specifically, between 2-4 inches away from the belly button on either side. The way it “feels” and how quickly i react to it, i think im actually doing a shallow IM...like im...- Spetzal

Needle Gauge for IM/Quads
Please, I'm not looking for recommendations to switch to my delt or VG. Or to switch to SubQ. I may look into those in the future. For now, I'm just asking about IM in quads. My doc gave me an Rx for 18g needles for drawing and 21g/1-inch needles for IM injections into quads. Two questions...- otus

5/16 needle in deltoids
Lately I’ve been injecting daily with a 5/16 (8mm) 30G needle in my deltoids. I wonder if this is still considered a shallow IM injection or rather subq? I’m fairly lean (14%) and my shoulders are muscular from heavy lifting for years. Any ideas?- Jurek Kletsy

Gel or inject ?
I have been using T gel for many years, 2 packets of 1% , 50mg /packet / day. I am considering a change to injectable test/cyp, really just for the cost factor. I just moved to medicare and the deductable plus the cost of the gel is pretty high. I am wondering about the cycle of high to low...- Rlud

Starting cypionate tomorrow - needle size?
What needle size can I get away with? I'll never inject more than 0,2ml (in cottonseed oil). Doctor wants me to do subq but I believe I'll do IM. And do you have any tips for muscles? I'd prefer not to do delts and was thinking about starting with quads.- trtthings

27G Needle Shredded Molecules?
Hey everyone. Haven't posted in a while but still browse the site from time to time. I have been using 25 5/8" with detachable needles. It has low dead space but I have noticed I am losing about .1 - .2 cc in the actual detachable part of the needle. Has anyone else notice this with detachable...- Wolfblood

Needle length question
I have tried subq (3/8" 26g), IM 1/2" 28g, and IM 5/8" 25g. I seem to feel way better using the 5/8" needle pushed in deep (so maybe 1" in). Does this make any sense or is it a coincidence? Or is it based on the location I'm injecting (usually ventroglute, lateral quad, or delt)? When I say...- fifty

Needle Size
I've followed the advice I've read on other threads and just ordered a 27g 1/2 inch insulin syringe. Since I started in August, I've been drawing with a larger needle and switching to either a 25 or a 27. Will I really be able to draw with the 27g 1/2? Also, there won't be any dulling of the...- Eddard

What size syringe/needle is best?
Hi all, Just started TRT 1 week ago today. Im going with subq injections for now. So far used small 31g 5/16 1cc (select brand), 29g 1/2 .5cc (covidien). The 31g took a little time to load and had to really push to get oil out. 29g was a bit better. I combine 5omg tcyp+175iu hcg 2xweek and...- Lancealot

what size needle for trimix?
I got a Rx for Trimix today and I believe the needle is 30g - 1/2 inch. I thought about it afterwards, isn't a 1/2 needle too long? I don't want to inject it into my urethra. ;) she must think I'm "girthy".- kenb
