Needle size and why?

[BICEPBULG]

TweetI know what I use, and everyone uses something different. Lets make a running list of different needle sizes and gear which to use the needles. I remember I posted some pics along time ago about reusing needles. And how they look under a microscope. So to all the newbies just buy some new pinz. Plus I have had friends get infected doing it. I will try to find the pics and post them.

TweetHere is the pics for everyone that hasn't seen them. I know this is old. Also account for putting the needle through the rubber seal on your vial!

Tweet25G either 1' or 1 1/2' depends on the location..thats crazy how fast those pins dull out

[BICEPBULG]

TweetWell it has been magnified a billion times with a microscope, yes I would never looked at it that way. Just think if they do that and you use them, then spin the needle while injecting!!!! pain...

Tweeti use 25 gauge x 1" for everything. just warm your gear before injecting. this makes for a smoother shot!

This is what I use/do to. However, I draw with a 23g (BD tops get cut up pretty easy or I'd draw with a wider gauge), then switch to a 25g tip. Considering how cheap needles are, I prefer to do it this way.

TweetI never ever use the same needle I draw with to inject.

But I use for quads and glutes 22 or 23 1 1/2 inc...for delts, bi's , tri's the same but 1 inch pin.

Tweet22g for everything.Draws up fast.Primary reason is this is what I can get from work for free 22g/3cc/1.5''. Some people may not like the pain but in my experience, a 22g hurts way less than a kick ass leg routine and goes away quicker.SUCK IT UP!!!!!LOL

Tweet20 to draw, 25 1" or 1.5" depending on location.

TweetNew needle everytime, they are cheap enough that I draw w/1 then inject w/a new one....it isnt necessary but I feel better about it, especially after getting cellulitis 4 weeks ago......

25 ga 1" or 1 1/2"
