Hey guys.
Not sure if there something like this already. I honestly didn't check but I thought it would be interesting and helpful to have a thread on needles. For you experienced guys I hope you share your wisdom and for the noobs... take notes!
What size pin preferred for withdrawing from vials/ ampules?
What size Pin preferred for injection? Gauge and length.
Preferred injection site?
How often do you personally pin per week? Do you rotate sites and how many millilitres per site max?
Also some funny firsts are always a good read. I almost fainted on my first month of pins, kept hitting nerves. Also tips and tricks of the trade!
I know I asked a lot of questions here guys but just answer whatever your comfortable with or have time for.
Thanks Primus
 
Withdraw - 18-21G (whatever the pharmacy have in stock)
Injection - 25-27G, 1 inch (i prefer 27, but it's slow as fuck)

This is what I use. I pin in quads and delts myself, glutes if I have help. Frequency of injecting depends on what I'm cycling, test e 2x a week, test p eod. Max 2 ml in delts and quads, 3 ml in glutes.

Injecting is like sex for a girl. If you're nervous, go slow. If it hurts, pull out. Helps to have someone with experience in the room with you who can help;)
 
I use 25g 1" to shoot everywhere and 21g to draw. I usually stick to long esters and pin twice a week, glutes, ventro glutes and sometimes delts if my ass is sore. EOD with short esters. ED pinning is a bit too OCD.

Not really a "funny" story but my first time hitting ventro glute I pinned through my TFL...

Not recommended. You want to talk about PIP?

I've never pinned glute myself but I can only imagine the pip.
 
I've always been curious why a lot of people use 18g to draw instead of 21. 21g takes seconds to draw a few ml. Why use 18 and beat up the stopper uneccessarily?

Serious question. I'm not busting balls.
it pulls really fast with an 18g .. I've tried a 22 once and it took forever I was pulling in oil and air it was a mess lol
 
Garden hose to draw Starbucks straw to pin

I move around on the stopper .. as long as your drawing pin is fresh I have never had a problem with messing up the stopper
 
Depends on quality of the stopper and I usually just draw and inject with 25g.

What size pin preferred for withdrawing from vials/ ampules?
18 and 19 gauges tend to do too much damage to the stoppers so 20 or 21g to withdraw, 1 inch is fine. Ampules suck, thick gauge and 1.5" pin to draw from them.
What size Pin preferred for injection? Gauge and length.
Doesn't really matter, the larger gauge, the faster the injection is done. Have done anything from 18g to slin pins. 18 g tends to leave a mark, not recommended unless "emergency." Most "pleasant" is 25, 23 or 21 gauge 1" pins.
Preferred injection site?
How often do you personally pin per week? Do you rotate sites and how many millilitres per site max?
Ventro glute 3ml, delt 3ml, side of quad 3ml, tricep 3ml, chest 2ml, calf 2ml, bicep 2ml, forearm 1 ml in that order. You will get PIP from a new injection site no matter what, the most debilitating PIP is the quad, the most painful and uncomfortable bicep, forearm is kinda unnecessary.
 
Only been pinning delts & Quads, been blasting and cruising for a year now, I have only hit a nerve one time and I pushed right through it and injected. I don't even aspirate.

Delta and quads are my preference too. I use to inject mid quad and it was brutal but a guy posted upper quad with pics and since then it's been smooth sailing. His tip was place the bottom of the palm of your hand at your hip and where your middle finger naturally lies is the g2g spot. Seems too high but it's not.
