Thread: 27 guage needles are nothing short of magical! Who knew? (everyone but me)

Lots of TRT docs are now recommending patients use these smaller needles. Actually read where they're recommending SubQ injections.

Currently pinning 0.6mL Test-C 2x/wk. Been using Insulin pins b/c I can just nab a couple every week from work. OR, if I need to buy them, they're CHEAP. I use a 3cc 22ga syringe to draw & backload 5-6 Insulin syringes at a time. The smaller barrel on the 1cc syringe lets you produce plenty of pressure to push the oil through the 27ga needle. The smaller needle AND the slower injection causes less trauma to the muscle. So, it's a win/win!

I don't think the mg concentration of the gear has much to do w/ how hard it is to push...it's more the viscosity of the solvent. Put your vial in hot water to warm the oil. It'll push easier.

Take it from a healthcare pro: The injection will be more comfortable if you use a different needle to inject than you drew with. The rubber on the bottle dulls the needle quite a bit. The sharper the needle, the less you feel it.
