Guest guest Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hello, I have been injecting with 25g 1 and 1/2needles. I went ahead and purchased 27g 1/2 that was recommended on here. My question is will I be able to draw the testosterone up with the 27g? I normally draw it up with a 18g but the new ones that I just received don't have the same screw off top.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yes, you will be able to draw it up...it's just very slow and you have to patient. Takes about two minutes, but the upside is the smaller needle is better on the injection. Much less pain. I've been using 29g insulin pins lately, and can hardly feel them.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi, I've used the 1/2 " insulin syringes and they did fine. I tried using the " short " insulin syringes in a pinch and while the dose was undoubtedly absorbed (maybe slower) it wasn't deep enough and my thigh was SORE. > Will a half an inch go deep enough? > > > > > Yes, you will be able to draw it up...it's just very slow and you have to patient.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yes but it takes a little longer to get your dose. I pull the amount of air of my shot into the needle and push that amount of air into the vial I then pull the plunger all the way down and just hold it it takes me about a min. to get .4 mls of the oil out I let more then I need into the needle then push the extra oil and any air back into the vial then shoot. The shot will be slow but it should be.
