    slimmest gauge for oil

    My question is:

    Can I use 29 gauge syringes for oil based compounds, like Test-C?

    My understanding is that it is time consuming, or sometimes impossible to pull the oil into the syringe.

    Anybody have experience here using slin pins for oil based (Test)? Seems like most Test users go with a 3cc, 25 gauge, 1". That would be much more that I am looking for. I like the painless 29 gauge, as used for GHRPs / GHRHs; going IM with 0.5" length needle is easy for me in Delts, Traps, Tris, even quads.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, but I'd recommend "backloading" slin pins in order to inject oils. There's no point trying to draw with a high gauge. Regardless of what you draw with though, it'll be easier to inject if you've heated the vial with hot water first. Still, be patient because as you know, it takes a fair bit longer.

    I use 31 gauge, 5/16" insulin syringes. They work fine. I use them for all my injection needs.

    You can use 29g if you want. It will take a long time to load though.

    It depends on the chef too. Some may be able to go through, others maybe not

    30ga, .5cc works just fine for Cyp, if you're patient loading it.

    Injection is easy and quick and painless, drawing directly is slow. So draw with a thick gauge, take out the plunger of an insulin syringe (31 gauge is fine) and transfer the oil into it from the back. Put plunger back in. Make sure the plunger does not touch anything while it is out.

    Test c should be a deep intramuscular injection a 21 G in the Glutes or outer quad are your best bet.
    You can get a way with a 25 G , but a 29 G I hope you have popeye forearms to pump it in

    I see no reason to use a 21. Even the most viscous oil will flow fine through a 25, let alone a 23, so why increase soft tissue damage?

    No, even with a 31 g it is very easy to inject T-cyp. Do the experiment and you will see. What is slow is to draw it into the needle, injecting it is quick.

    Testosterone just needs to get into the body, whether into the muscle or into the fat. Many are finding that sub-q absorbs more slowly and decreases the conversion of T to E2.

    The main plus for me is less pain during injections.

    I use the 31 gauge to draw and to inject my test C. You inject some air into the vial, pull it back out, and draw the oil into the chamber. Takes a minute or so.

    I draw with a 23G, backload a 29G insulin syringe, injecting takes 10-15 seconds max.

    Certainly no need to use a 21G pin. Why add all that scar tissue. The largest I use is a 25g.

    For oils I use a heating pad around the vials and the syringe (capped then change needles)... use a 29g

    Drawing is slow but injection is easy.

    You'd need a 21ga if you are trying to push stanozolol (winstrol), or at least something closer to that size, due to the large chunks in the emulsion. You could probably get away with a 23ga, not sure if a 25 would work or not.
    The largest I've done is 23 and smallest I've used is a 25ga, for pushing IM oils, test, deca, tren. I'm all about less pain myself, so if you can swing it with a 28-29ga, then go for it! I know a guy that uses a 28ga on an insulin pin to push his test into the glute.
