[QUOTE="madman, post: 173022, member: 13851"] Yes you can use them to draw/inject oil based esterified T. The should be no difference in absorption/effectiveness between sub-q/IM.....mind you some tend to not do well injecting sub-q due to various reasons and prefer IM. IM can result in scar tissue at the injection site but to what degree depend on the gauge/needle length used and most of the concern regarding scar tissue when injecting IM comes from steroid users injecting with the 22 gauge 1.5 inch harpoons. Sure injecting with a 22-25 gauge will result in more scar tissue and may cause concern for some but in the majority of men on trt injecting shallow IM whether once weekly (not common), twice weekly (very common) or more frequently as in M/W/F, EOD, or daily they are all using fixed insulin syringes 27-31 gauge in 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) or 5/16 inch (8mm) which will result in much less scar tissue. Believe it or not although injecting sub-q will result in minimal trauma you are still piercing the skin and it has also been shown that there is some buildup of collagen at the injection site but again it comes down to each individual and to what you feel is best. There is a chance that when injecting sub-q absorption may be slower but again many things can effect the absorption rate other than the T ester and keep in mind that the Antares study using the auto injector Xyosted (testosterone enanthate) injected strictly sub-q that T levels peaked at 12 hrs post injection.
