Thread: Pin sizes?

Thinking about starting to use slin pins after all the positive feedback I have been reading. I am about tired of the 23 gauge.

I heard they werent good to use because the oils had a hard time going through the pin, and where would you inject it?

most oils are hard to get through a slin pin

Arent slin pins like 1"?

Man up and use the 18g, in the hip or the shoulder. The oil has no problems going through it.

I was wondering what size people use for the quad? Cause I have my girl do it for me in the glute and for the quad I could do it myself if I wanted.

people like them for delts. you have to pull the plunger out and add the gear to the syringe then replace it and pin. It takes a while to get it through. My bro does this I dont know if I would.

Man up and use the 18g in hip or shoulder. The oil goes through with no problem.

yea if that

25g 1.5" is a good all around size.

generally quad and glute are the same

Do you know what size people use for the quad? I heard it was like 5/8 or something like that.

Man up and use the 18g in hip or shoulder. The oils have no problem flowing through it.

Someone told me 1.5" is too big to go into the quad so if you wanted to do that you wouldnt be able to put the whole needle in.

I know a guy on another board who does this. He is a nut, that thing is a freakin canon.

Use the smallest g pin u can get the oil through. I never use anything bigger then a 25g and never anything longer then 1" (only for the lean). Bigger pins don't mean your a man it just making more scare tissue.... Nobody need that.

I might get some 1" for my quad.

for delts and quads the norm is 23g 1in

I'm like you, I only do glute injections and always use a 1.5" 23g. Been doing that for years and have no scar tissue build up either.

I love my slin pins, depends where you get your oils. run it under hot water for a bit runs right out...love slins on bis and tris

I sometimes get a 1cc slin pin pull the plunger out fill the oil from the top and shoot it.... Takes maybe 30-40sec to push heavy oil through it. Pin is a 30

Incredibly stupid, stupid advice. Hope you are joking..

Almost any oil will pass through a 25g pin without issue. Although it will
take some time and definitely slower then larger guages but that's good.
You want to inject as slowly as possible with oils as it gives the oil time to
spread along the muscle fibres once inside the muscle to aid in absorbption
and reduce the chance of abcsess.

Optimally you want to inject at a rate of 1ml per min. Although hardly
anyone does..basically the slower you go the better.

1.25 - 1.5 inch pins are good for glutes and quads
1 - 1.25 inch pins are good for delts.

Any smaller muscle groups I wouldn't go above 1 inch pins.

Been there and done that with crappy test suspension, which even clogged an 18 guage, was done after I hit a vein once and I bled so much I said fuck that, too much scar tissue, though I hardly think your post is serious, figured I'd post my feedback on such a choice. 18guage is the black cock of needles.
