Thread: Slin Pins is the way to go

I'll second that brother! I am freaking tired of jabbing with long ass needles.

I have only pinned with long needles in the glutes. I'm afraid to hit a nerve or blood vessel pinning elsewhere. Getting tired of pinning one spot.

hey db let me know how your legs feel tomorrow and the next day.

Just be careful with those slin pins....at .5", you really have to push the sucker hard against your muscle (leaving none of the pin exposed). It would suck BIG time if the needle would happen to break, because you don't have anything to grab on to in order to pull it out. It's happened a few times to guys I know....and yes, needles are designed to bend, but they do often break/snap. IMHO!

Slin pins are awesome. I have done literally thousands of injects.

What's the benefit of slin pins for something like test (considering a dose of only 1cc test twice a week)? Is it just that the capacity at 1cc is more suited to test? Or is it the price of the pins? Easier to store/keep in a container?

The gauge of the pin is really thin, thus causing less pain. Takes a long time to push oil through them though...I don't have the patience nor do I inject only 1cc at a time.

I've been slin pinning tren but needed a little more room than 1ml. Honestly I felt I got a much better delt shot with a 25g 1" with minimal pain difference.

Lower scar tissue, less pain during inject and very accurate dosing. I think slin pins are ideal for females.

It takes about the same time to inject 1ml with a slin pin as a 23g. I have never once had a slin pin break either.

I have done one quad before and I couldn't walk for a few days, but that was with a 500 blen. This is 250 from a compounding pharmacy. Tommorow will tell the tale though..

Agreed. Im pushing it in as far as it can go. I am just being really careful not to move it around so I don't bend or break it off. That would suck

I know for allot of guys during a cycle 1cc is not enough. If you wanted to use slin pins couldn't you just use multiple pins? I mean for me I am a stay at home Dad so I have all day to pin if I wanted to.

You could chose to pin long esters more often if you like. I was slin pinning 1ml of test cyp eod - it's a good way to go

Once I tried slin pins, I'll never go back. I only use them on tris and delts. They will def. help keep scar tissue down in the long run.

^^^^The reason I've never tried slin pins was because I thought it would take all day to push it in.

I'm now going to give it a 'shot' though.

Odd thing I've discovered is I actually had more scar tissue from pinning quads more often when I got up to higher dosages due to more frequent pinning. I had to go back to conventional glute pinning due to lumps forming on my quads. Also, as I leaned out I began hitting more blood vessels with slin pins.

Never had a slin pin break though. Bend allot but never break.

I like delts the best with slin pins and then pecs second best.

Quads seem to give me troubles most of the time no matter the pin size but slin pins still work best in my quads overall.

I should try slin pin the next time. I have been pinning with 23g 1" on quads and delts and 23g 1.5" on glutes. I hate the pain the following day after pinning guads and glutes. Anyone experience the same thing? Sound like with slin pin, there is no pain after injection or the day after. Can someone confirm? Thanks!

After 1cc of test in each quad using a slin pin my quads are a little sore, but just like after a good workout, so not bad at all. Im going to rotate between glutes with my normal 23g x 1.5" and slin pins on the quads. I did have trouble locating a spot that didnt have veins in my quads. I just shot between the veins.

Wait, I thought slin pins didn't have interchangeable tips? Are you guys using the slin pins to draw? Wouldn't that dull them significantly cause they're so small?

What would you think about drawing and injecting with a 25 gauge 1 inch (or drawing with 25, using a different 25 to inject) (for quads, glutes)? Would that help keep scar tissue down if injections are 250mg 2x a week? Or would you use slin pins?

IMO unless you're doing ED shots then don't bother.

And no, you backload the slin pins. Meaning you pull the plunger and fill it up from a regular size syringe.

I backfill 3-4 1ml slin pins at a time with an 18g pin, 3ml barrel. I almost never draw with a slin pin.

I think ur putting too much hope in slin pins. If u have a particularly inflammatory compound like prop, it's gonna hurt no matter what. However, ur injecting less oil so pain is reduced. U also get dramatically less scar tissue which is a huge plus if you've been in the AAS game a long time.

The plungers for slin pins don't dissolve/react with the oil in the gear (I know regular pins do this because of the ethyl oleate the test is dissolved in).

Edit - also, is it ok to reuse the drawing syringe (If I sterilized with isopropyl alcohol each time of course)? Say I got an 18g and used that to draw each time (after cleaning with alcohol), and the slin pins to inject? It isn't a matter of cost, it's a matter of not keeping a separate 18g and slin pin for every injection (I travel a lot for work).

Backload the slin pin mate. I will use a 5ml barrel and load 5-6 slins for the week.

Takes the same time to admin the gear, just warm the oil. Tris and pecs are my fav spot.

Never had any stopper react with the oil.

Once I fill 3-4 slin pins (you can fill more if you like) I use the larger pin to inject a big nasty dose of T or whatever else I have on hand. Waste not want not...

Would Using a regular 3 ml barrel but use 12 28-29g needle be as easy to inject with as a slin pin? (not in terms of injection pain but in realtion to pressure required to drive it through)
