SubQ injection volume?

Yeh, I was wondering if the pain was from the oil or from a needle being in me for that long.
I have no problems injecting 1 ml mct with 31g slin pins in either delts or glutes. I do 29g shallow im though, just to be safe.
It doesn't take longer at all, actually you can inject faster with slin pins because they are so easy to push. Also it's very easy to inject into glutes.

I remember my first 1-2 weeks being a touch sore as my stomach/body got used to it but never anything crazy or worth mentioning from a PIP perspective. Though, my body much prefers GSO over MCT.
He is showing with an insulin needle but he said when you lie down you pull away the fat. Isn't the point to get it in the fat? Maybe a loss in translation.
It was quite bad but I was able to just go to sleep and woke up fine.
What size needle do you use? My31 gauge 5/8" isn't bad but it took me 20 mins to withdraw the oil so I might purchase some luer locks.
I use 31g 5/16ths. I inject daily though and only about 10units. Takes about two minutes to draw the oil

For oils I use 29G 1/2" needles with a cartridge pen. I pin 0.20mL EOD. I used to do subq in the belly but once my belly became mostly loose skin I started getting lumps. Now I do "shallow IM" rotating delts and VG.

31G for oils is way to thin, there's no need to go thinner than 29G. Also, shorter than half inch and it's a recipe for lumps and irritation. With a 5/16 you just pin under the skin, it hardly reach the subcutaneous fat. I have no problem pinning 0,4ml every day with 29G half inch in my glutes. No need sucking the oil for 2 minutes with 31G
Perhaps it depends on BF %, unsure. If so, mine is high and could explain why I haven’t had any issues with reaching subq fat, irritation etc. My total t levels are at expected ranges for the past few times I’ve checked them. Just my experience though.
With half inch don't I have to be more anal about injection placement because it could possibly get the muscle? I couldn't reach my glutes with both hands so I did it basically on my hip knowing that I could shoot anywhere there is fat.

Man, 5/8 is longer than half inch
So with half inch you have a better chance to not reach the muscle. It's not necessary to reach you glutes with 2 hands, no need to pinch the skin. You turn with the hand that holds the syringe and pin somewhere in the upper or side glute. Not as high as the waist, just see where people inject with with 1 inch for their IM shots and use a half inch. You have to be extremely lean to pin it IM with half inch

I agree with you on this i draw up with a 1/2" 18ga then switch to a 1/2" 27ga on my subq i use lure loc so i can switch pin gauge and i inject upper side glute if this helps the OPMan, 5/8 is longer than half inch
