For more than a year now I've been using 28g 1/2" needles. Recently, I've been using 30g 1/2" needles and like the smaller gauge, mainly because I rarely get any leakage of oil from the injection site when using them.
Lately, I've thought about going to 30g 5/16" needles.
I inject SubQ in the VG area. Assuming I go more or less straight in with a 5/16" (8mm) needle, would it be long enough for effective SubQ? I do pinch the skin and inject into the pinch when injecting SubQ FWIW.
I honestly know nothing about skin thickness, etc and I guess I'm not sure at what depth things go from subcutaneous fat to intradermal if an injection is too shallow, etc.
