Switching to 2 injections

[tezip]

Hello all! I've been on trt through my urologist for about a year. I'm thinking of going to 2 a week injections and trying the 27g syringe. Currently using pharmacy provided 25g 1" for inject and 21g to draw,today I noticed the amount left in the syringe after injection(looked like a gallon of my money. UGH!) I inject 1/2 cc every week alternating thighs. What would the amount be on a easytouch if I were to inject 2 times a week? Also, is 1/2" long enough to get into the thigh? Havent tried my delt but it seems the shorter needle may make that easier? Or is there a low dead space 1" syringe available? Any links or recommendations would be appreciated.

Consider an Easy Touch 29 gauge half inch syringe, it works excellent everywhere. I haven't seen your labs but it was me I probably just inject the same amount.

I use a 25 gauge needle on but I am moving up to a smaller one very soon. The only problem is with the smaller needles is it takes a lot longer to load for me because my oil is thick. I find I have to pull the plug on her way back and let it really feel up and then I'll push it up to the half milliliter Mark to where I want. 1/2 cc is a half CC so as long as you're not using anything less than 1/2 cc syringe and 1/2 cc is going to be the same on every other syringe it's a 1/2 CC. So if you go to double dosage you would inject a quarter CC twice a week which would be .25 even if you used a .3 syringe you would pull it to .25 good luck with the needle choice.

27 1/2" should be OK for thighs unless you are pretty fat. I found some 26g 5/8" I might try for glutes. The 27 works fine for my delts and quads but I don't think I'd want to go smaller. Squeezing the juice through the 27 while the needle's in the muscle takes long enough. I get shaky hands.

I think low dead space is the key. I use 25g 5/8 inch and whatever I'm losing each injection is extremely minimal. Going to a smaller gauge needle wouldn't save me much. I tried a 29g but really took forever to load and inject. Might give 27g a try at some point and if they don't load and inject too slow go with those.

The only thing I would add, make sure you inject a lot of air into the vial, before filling the syringe with testosterone.
