[QUOTE="madman, post: 180257, member: 13851"] I would not say harder but definitely much slower than using a syringe with a 22-25 gauge needle. Most are using 27-31 gauge and some tend to find the 27-29s easier to load but it is still not that difficult when using a 30-31. Aside from the gauge used the viscosity of the carrier oil and dose of T will affect how long it takes to draw the oil from the vial. Warming the vial prior to drawing will make it easier to pass through the needle when drawing/injecting. I use a BD U-100 insulin syringe .5ml (50 unit) 30gauge 5/16 inch needle and inject Delatestryl (testosterone enanthate) 200mg/ml strength. My protocol is 150mg/week (75mg every 3.5 days) so I draw (.375ml) and it takes under 2 minutes. The main benefits are minimal pain/trauma to tissues and most importantly they are dead space syringes which result in the minimal waste of medication let alone you can draw/inject using the same needle. Many use the 1ml fixed insulin syringes but you have the option to use the .5ml or even the .3ml syringes when injecting daily/EOD as the volume of oil is low and it is easier to read the markings for some when trying to draw an accurate dose. When first starting trt I was using the standard 1ml fixed insulin syringe and eventually switched over to the .5ml as they are more compact and feel better in the hand when drawing/injecting and I can draw slightly quicker compared to the 1ml.
