IM needle sizes and common practices

i draw with 22-25g 1" or 1 1/4"

i pin IM (side & rear delts, pecs, lats, quads) with 30g 1/2"

i pin IM (ventro glute) with the absolute harpoon of 22g 1 1/2"

i have drawn MCT and Grapeseed oil with a 30g needle with no problems, with 0.3ml, 0.5ml, and 1ml syringes.

all my needles are terumo brand, but i recently got a pack of nipro 30g after reading about them here, they work just as well as terumo. i have also used cheap name/brandless chinese 23g needles from amazon to draw with, but not pin.
You get more tissue damage from fat needles
