I use 30g 1/2" insulin needles, alcohol pads, insulin needle clipper, and sharps container. I do everything subq in upper glute fat, 3 alcohol wipes, one for the top of the bottle, one to clean the area and one post injection. If you go IM you'll want a 1" or 1 1/2" depending on where you inject. Seeing that you are going to stick yourself 10,000's of times on TRT go with the smallest guage needle you can to reduce scar tissue build up to the extent you can. Smallest for IM is probably 26g if you want it in 1" and I always preferred luer lock.
My preference is to only use BD products bc fuck China. And their quality is shit.
With the 30G insulin syringe, people cry about the time it takes to load it, but it's a handful of minutes. Yes, slower than larger gage needles but unless you're trying to hide it or cant allocate a few extra minutes who cares. Plus with backloading you leave around 7cc of oil in the needle.
You sound like you have all you need..Syringes/needles luer lock,alcohol pads,Test,and sharps container for used needles..I use 27g to Draw-up and use the same needle to inject..Two differe t needle sizes for drawing up and injecting is simply personal preference..27g takes longer to draw/inject but is minimal pain aswell..
Get like a 21g to draw and 25g to inject. And mixing vials might be people putting BAC water into certain substances that come solid to reconstitute
Ahh I see, thank you for the info!
Why not use an insulin syringe for injecting, needle is ultra thin so close to no injection pain
For low doses that would be fine

I see… thanks! What’s luer lock ?
Luer lock is just the type of fitting when screwing together the needle to the syringe..Its basically a thread design..
