Noob Lesson Learned - Syringes

[Zad]

Hey all,

After plenty of research (years of thinking and multi-sources). I had my blood levels. I had my stack designed. Keep it simple: 500mg/week Test C. +armidex on hand in case of sides and Nolva for PCT.
Ordered from a well reviewed source here (felt that I couldn't trust eroids).. "Wait.. I need syringes. Well where do i get syringes?"
Not much info on that.. medical supply stores had a long wait and high prices or just not what i needed.

Ordered on amazon and got sterile 22g needles. However the syringes were actually ORAL syringes. Only listed in the fine print of the product description. I figured this out when i got a cardboard box of 100, loose rolling around in there.

Long story short, ensure they clearly marked sterile and individually wrapped before buying.

Wasn't dumb enough to use them anyway. Returned the oral syringes and order the right product.

Stay safe,
Zad

Is there something wrong with my post?

It's a rough crowd here. Think of it as locker room hazing. If the locker room was filled with gorillas. Gorillas that occasionally inject massive amounts of rage inducing chemicals into themselves.

Just persist and it'll stop, mostly, after you learn more and new targets take your place.

In the meantime, there are no dumb questions, and as everyone's bound to overlook something you later realize is basic, you could do worse than failing to research syringes thoroughly.

22g is completely inappropriate in any case. It's enormous and best left to taking tissue core samples from corpses, or inoculating bison.

For 1ml injections I'd recommend 27g. I presume you've never injected yourself before?

Ask whatever you need to know, again, there are no stupid questions. We want you to be safe and successful in your goals.

Just lie still and they’ll stop beating you eventually. Also welcome back!

Lol thanks. I figured sharing a noob mistake was good idea because searching the forums for advise on syringes doesn't pull much info.

This might explain the mild PIP I've experienced. But honestly it's not like it hurts while making the injection w/ 22g, but maybe I'm causing some bruising.

strange that some sites recommend a 22g:

22 will work, pins are cheap, order more after doing a search, this topic has been beat to death.

Personally you cant go wrong with 25g, save th 22g for backup, or give to your buddies so they dont reuse theirs multiple times.

 

[Ghoul]

Old school thinking, and with most Testosterone in thin MCT oil it's especially unnecessary for Test. Scar tissue buildup becomes a factor over time, and the smaller the syringe the less of an issue it'll be. Even 27g is large compared to what many now use for TRT doses but for 1ml injection 27g is more practical.

I'd recommend using a quality brand as well, like BD, which is a "thin wall" needle, meaning it flows faster like a larger, 25g needle.

And while it's early days, consider filtering. There's a lot of shit in gear (and even in pharma injectables) you don't want accumulating in your body.

BD is great, but for 27g, I prefer Nipro.

The issue is the accumulation of scar tissue as @Ghoul mentioned. On a big blast when you're running multiple ML per day hitting multiple sites, the damage tends to accumulate quickly. Even on a small cycle or trt, daily administration yields more stable serum values, and for that, you'll want the smallest needle you can get away with.

What were you saying about Reddit?

bunch of hostile idiots from my (thankfully) short experience on that site. only one correct way of doin things, everythink else is wrong and you should die if you dont follow the correct way.
also ghoul is unbanned as i can see

 

[BabaJagga]

anyway mate, im at simillar position as you and indexited to use 23G x 1,5" for drawing and 27g x 3,4" for pinning. Also have 25g x 1", cause why not.
Will see but 22G looks like massive needle to me and i wouldnt wanna put that into my shoulder/quad/ass.

That was his first post.
Nice member intro about oral syringes, lol.
The crowd you were talking about, that was the point

but you know, this comunity feels much better and open that reddit/steroids forum or whatever its called. imo, if its not troll post (not sure if this is or not), i belive that kind of friendly approach is better.

but im here for short time and i still have patience

I am Old, lol.

Yes with Mct , thin pins work. With Castor, not so much.

Nice to see you back from Holiday!

don't worry about the "Bobbsey Twins" dislikes, they are a "tough crowd", but this is a joke of some kind isn't it??

Use 3ml 25g x 1" for glut and back fill a 1ml 29g x 0.5" for all other locations. If you get into peptides you will need 1ml 33g x 5/8". However, you can use just about anything you want. For shits and giggles, use the 22g in your quad and report back. lol

 

[mcap]

I am using 30g Exel needles for injecting Test C with grape seed oil. I warm the vial on a coffee warmer for a few minutes.

Might just do that

Just an update, I ordered 27G needles and had a hell of a time pulling the test and plunging the injection. Caused a lot more wiggling of the needle.

I went back to the 22G for the convenience. Haven't had PIP after the first 2 weeks.

I'm looking into filtering now in case that is playing a role.

This may play a role in a review I will post soon once I have the req. user privileges.
