Thread: What needles are you using for SQ injections

This how I do it draw dose out of the vial with a larger needle and pull out the plunger of your slin pin and fill up from the back . I let sink water run until gets all the way hot and hold barrel of pin under water to heat it up and thin it out .

31g 5/16

no reason to go any larger gauge wise imo. Yes it’s slow but it’s fine.

im using bop sponsor goods... test e 250 , 50 units hcg twice a week.
using 30g 5/16 insulin syringes ..same needle for both and worth subq cuz to me it just easier and it goes smooth easy for me but that may depend on who makes what you got...anyway i first do hcg then inject ..then back fill same needle with test then inject and toss it in the bucket....fresh new needle for 2nd dose later in the week. ....no problems aside that the difference for me has been IM no lumps ever vs subq 50/50 chances of lumps .. when there is its usually a dime to nickel size lump at the injection site. no pain ever but for whatever reason if accidently touch my thigh in that place and i feel a lil lump and be like oh yeah and feel/play with it ,give it quick mini massage ,shoulder shrug and a fuck it, forget about it and go about my day....so yeah sub q is alright

I use 25ga 1.5", seems to work better for me the deeper into the muscle I go.

Sorry just seen you goin subQ! NVM!

I second sloppyJ it’s exactly what I use and have been for over a year no problem. Just make sure you move the injection site every time you pin you can get a nasty rash if you use the same location to much.

When you guys say it “takes awhile” to inject, how long are you talking about roughly? 30 seconds? 2 minutes? How slow do you have to go and do you just apply regular pressure or are you pushing hard to get it out?

Usually just steady pressure and it takes about 30 seconds or so. It doesn’t take long at all. It honestly isn’t much of a hassle compared to a bigger needle just a few seconds longer. I’ve never had to push really hard to get it to inject just slight pressure and it does it’s thing. Lemme know if you have any other questions, I’m no expert but have a year of experience.

27 gauge 1/2" is good. I have also used 26 gauge 5/8" too.
