Yea so needles are needles are needles. Just make sure they are sterile and sharp (there's non sterile and blunt). The receiving end is on the barrel end of a syringe whether 1 ml or 3 ml. The barrels are the end that specifies "luer lock" or "slip tip". The needle end is universal and always the same. It'll slip onto the end of a slip tip barrel and it will also thread into the luer lock. You're good.

Wow, I must be using some thick oils because I have trouble even pushing through a 25g needle (it just takes so long to sit there and squeeze it through). So I just stick with 23g for pinning, and use 18g for drawing. It's nice and fast/smooth with 23g. I do use insulin needles for peptides/hgh and I believe mine are 29g (don't have it in front of me). They work fine. Just recently started trying subq injections of oils (just test cyp so far) and I can do it through a 25g but it's slow. I tried a 27g and it was a non-starter.

I don't normally warm up my oils before hand, maybe I should try that? though I don't have much trouble with the 23g for IM injections, works fine doesn't hurt much and no scar tissue. Some PIP sometimes, but I don't think that has anything to do with the barrel, more the oil itself and it's solvents.

That's what I do. 18 to withdraw, 23 to inject. Warming it can help a little, but 23g goes in pretty smooth anyway. No scar tissue or anything like that either.

Plus you don't have to use a lot of force to push the plunger which is nice.

Wow, that's crazy cheap. Thanks for the info

Some Hospira sources are back to $15 per bottle, others are requiring some sort of medical license to order.

I bought a few cases just in case. I'd rather go back to making BAC instead of paying $15 per bottle.

Decades of lurking..I waited years to drop this gem on you guys. You're welcome
Pretty certain that no two needle exchanges operate the same way. We aren’t socialist so there’s no federal dept for needle exchange.

Do you use GSO as the carrier oil?

That’s kind of why I like MCT personally. It’s thin, smooth and fast. Don’t have any issues with MCT and 25g unless it’s some high concentration oil, then it draws and pins slow regardless

Definitely invest in a coffee mug warmer from Amazon. $15 or so. Heat the vials for 10 minutes and they draw and pin ridiculously smooth, plus it reduces pip
Wow, tried the coffee mug warmer for the first time this morning and it's a game changer. Was able to pull my TRT dose of test (oil) through a 25g draw and inject subq with a 27g without any issue. So smooth, and the warm oil felt good in the site. no swelling, redness, anything. Thanks for the reco

Just wondering what brand and also what size you all use for drawing and injecting?

I used to use 18g 1" for drawing and 23g 1.5" for injecting. People say they use 25g but I tried it once and it was extremely difficult to push with such a small needle.

Now I'm moving to 20g 1" for drawing and 23g 1.5" for glute injection.

From MedVet I'm buying NIPRO leur lock syringes and Terumo needles.

Your thoughts?
Shot with a 27g 1/2 for many of year with no problems. After you draw heat up with a blow dyer on low until warm. Flows good. BD for brand works good as any.
