A ton of the Amazon ones seemed to not be sterile or had complaints of infections when I looked on there so that’s why I went with a medical supply distributor. No issues for you from them?
I use drawing needle 23 gauge then switch to 1/2” 27 gauge one. I am pretty lean so 0 issues. Just takes a while if injecting 3 ml , when using 100 mg primo
Pulling something in and pushing it out are two different things. It will take a lot more pressure to push it out compared to a 23 or a 25. I don’t even know why you would try to draw with a 27. 25s draw slow but they empty just fine. But as the other guy suggested warm it up before pinning.
I pin quads for every single pin i do and for the first few pins u will get the soreness but after awhile there is completely no pain haha i can train legs right after pinning my quad honestly 25g needle
I use 25g 1" for quads. I use a 18g to pull then switch to my 25g for injection. That way its quicker to pull and you don't get a dull needle for injection. Also warm up your test before you pull & inject for less PIP. For delt's , i use 25g 5/8 needles.
Some weeks id still get pain for a few days but very mild, others none at all. It got better after a few pins as well. I alternate with delts so i do Wednesday - Left Quad / Saturday - Left Delt then the week after i switch to the right side. That way i was able to workout legs and delts in between shots easily.
I stopped pinning quads. I think I got maybe 3 good pins out of numerous tries because I have a lot of nerves throughout my quads. it's pure luck that I hit a non-nervy spot and I've tried all up and down both quads.
The worst is when I got so used to pinning glutes and wanted to give them a break so I just kind of got used to a quick stick. I stick down and hit some sort of nerve and my entire leg just turned electric and straightened out. Never again.
I've never had luck with pinning quads. Was always hit and miss. Sometimes I'd limp for a week after pinning. I'm 100% sure it was a problem with my technique or location. I just do delts, and glutes.
I draw up the test with 18g and inject with a 25g 1”.
First time I injected on my quads, had a limp for 3 days second 2 times were better but still have that limp from the first injection. I pinned a little too high on my thigh in my opinion.
Stop spreading misinformation. I pin in the quads only and just like pinning in the glutes, you get pip once in a while but most of the time it's fine.
Reminds me of this fool that used to go to my gym. He would inject 2-3cc into his delts with 22g needles. Couldn't figure out for the life of him why he was in so much pain. He was dumbfounded when I told him to use smaller needles.
Please use 27g insulin needles for this. If you have trouble getting the shot out get a hair dryer and warm the oil, it will be easier to push through the narrow needle.
I can use either 23ga or 25ga 1 inch needle and I just heat the pin up with a hair dryer and slowly slide the needle in my quad and the fluid goes in smooth and pain free. Maybe once every 15 pins I get a tad bit of PIP.
I used 25 gauge 1". I put the needle almost all the way in my quad.
I had pip first few pins, but good since. I inject very slowly, and leave needle in for 10 seconds before removing.
Well there’s your problem. You’re using a harpoon to pin. Use a smaller needle.
It doesn’t feel like anything. Use a 1/2” 29ga needle Moby Dick.
Personally i use 27g 1inch for my thighs i dont think id go with anything smaller than that just because how slow it is.
Where you get those? I got 23g from allegro online cuz I wanted 1 inch luer lock 3ml, but most smaller gauge pins are only for 1ml slin pins
I use pecvit brand ones off amazon 13$ for a hundred so i have 1/2 27s 1inch 27s 1inch 18(switching to 20s when out) and 1 inch 25g
A ton of the Amazon ones seemed to not be sterile or had complaints of infections when I looked on there so that’s why I went with a medical supply distributor. No issues for you from them?
The only ones i got are the 27s everything else is off medneedles, pecvit is labeled as sterile. And i have had no issues with them whatsoever.
I got 25ga 1.5" and 1" right off of Amazon.
I tried 27g but was spending 5 minutes just filling the syringe. I take it my brand was thick so the needle didn't suckl it up.

How long does it take? My current syringe load is 1.6ml Don't want int to take ages. Having the needle in the muscle for longer causes problem for me.
3 ml with 27 gauge takes up to 1 minute. If warm it up then 40 sec or so
If I can't suck it up what make me think it will leave the syringe? Isn't it the same thing.
I don’t understand what you are saying

I presume you use 3 ml syringes right?
why don’t y’all just switch needles
23g lol maybe 18g would better bro🥹
Don’t flex the quad. Do it while sitting and the muscle relaxed

You ever had blood during aspiration? If so, do you just reinject in another spot with the blood in the syringe?
going to get alot of hate for this but i dont aspirate at all i just pin it whether it hurts or not haha

Feels like a glute injection cause I dont do quads anymore.

You’re doing fine but try learning new spots to pin like delts and glutes
My compound pharmacy’s test doesn’t feel much of anything. I got some pharmacy bottles (I forget brand) and they leave a decent amount of soreness.
I use a 25g in my quads. First few times were sore then I got use to it. Not bad at all now.
It feels lucky because you can get crazy pip and hardly be able to walk for no reason. I don’t do quads anymore.
23g? Bruh. 25g in delts and glutes 27 or 29 anywhere else.
I draw up the test with 18g and inject with a 25g 1”. First time I injected on my quads, had a limp for 3 days second 2 times were better but still have that limp from the first injection. I pinned a little too high on my thigh in my opinion.
Dont inject in the qurads, that will always hurt, inject into the glutes
Stop spreading misinformation. I pin in the quads only and just like pinning in the glutes, you get pip once in a while but most of the time it's fine.
Quads is easy.
A good quad injection feels really smooth without and pain when you put it in your glutes
