Noob Lesson Learned - Syringes

[Ghoul]

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.

Do you know what the carrier oil is? I have no issue with MCT, others even manage it with insulin syringes.

why not use the "tried&true" 25 g needle like ALOT of people do? Nipro needles are very good as are excel,,

"pharma grade MCT, ...+small amount of sesame seed oil" per the source. TestC.. there's been some conversation on the underground about it crashing due to cold weather. Reconstitution attempts have had some strange results from some user with it remaining cloudy.
..but I just got my bloods back and it looks good. T at 2379 ng/dl

not sure if I'm allowed to quote the thread here or go into more detail.

I should, because as @Ghoul, mentioned I may build up scar tissue. Only injecting twice a week and alternating butt cheeks.

Only the pain a third batch of needles has stopped me from doing so.

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.

With my 1st run with gear I used insulin syringes wasn’t that bad. Don’t know the carrier oil used.

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.

i feel like 27g take ageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. i prefer 23g for on cycle to tap the mls into my ass, and 25g on trt

I haven’t injected with anything bigger than 1/2” 29g since 2016…but I also don’t inject more than 1mL at a time.

All my MCT oil based gear seems almost as thin as water.

miglyol 840 is even thinner, , I have some TNE made with that, smooth like water

Heat the vial on a coffee warmer. It will squirt right out of that 27 gauge.

Did you add BB to your miglyol 840 or is it just straight mig840/BA?

I use 18 gauge for withdrawing, 23 gauge for injecting. Goes pretty smoothly.

i didn't add anything, but there's @35% bb in with @8% ba & @4% guaicol in the miglyol @100 mg/ml,, Straight Rocket Fuel and smooth no pip just good fun,, Highly Addictive
