needles and syringes

[malcolm383]

What are some of your favorite needle and syringe brands?
I last used a 21g 1in needle and really didn't care for it too much.
It felt dull. I can't remember the brand tho.

 

[VictorZ06]

I usually only use BD.

Terumo 25g slide in nice for me...

But wow! I draw with a 20g! And your hitting with a 21g! How come?

 

[VictorZ06]

21g is a fuckn harpoon....no need to shoot with it unless it's all you have come pin time. IMHO.

That's what I would usually draw with, but I ran out of the 23g ones so I just used the 21g. It really wasn't that bad.

Prefer BD for syringes and terumo for needles. BD syringes just work smoother and have larger tabs so my fat fingers can hold it more securely when injecting

Like EZ, I use terumo from gpzservices. No problems with drawing and shooting. I use 25's. Might switch back to 21-22, it just shoots a lot easier/quicker. Harpoon baby!!

 

[VictorZ06]

I've used 21s before to pin, but only my glute. I could not keep that sucker in my quad....too painful, IMHO.

And I also get all my supplies from GPZ....just wish they still sold bac water! Obviously I can get it elsewhere....but it was really convenient to pick it up with my pins when needed.

I never used a brand I didn't like.................

My one bro when he would run out of pins would go to the farm supply store-Talk about Harpoons-Brave Man

Sorry for thread jacking, but was curious were all of you get a good quality filtered grape seed oil from? GPZ has it but in 100ml jugs.

By the way I use 27g 1"1/4 Exel

I use BD 18 to draw and 25 to shoot, works good for me. Use monoject slin pins and they seem to dull easy but they are slin pins so its expected....

25g would be the way to go for IM injections. At 21 (or anything less), you're gonna feel some pain and will have problems with scarring in the long-term.

Mee too.

Even for drawing, 18g is too big IMO. It will eat up the rubber stopper pretty fast.

I think 20-21g for drawing is more than enough for fast drawing. For injecting, 25-23g are also the standard, and it's what I use.

 

[klc9100]

i don't care at all about brand. i see what i can find the best deal on and buy a box of 100. buying in bulk = savings.

i like 25g x 1" for glutes/delts and 29g x 1/2" for triceps/quads.

i draw with a 21g.

 

[mth496]

BD 23 OR 25g 1 and 1.5 inch

 

[hill450]

I could see the 18 eating up stoppers if ed or eod injections were being preformed. As far as 2 shots a week it doesn't hurt them.

Yea but why use them anyway? is 20 or 21g that slow to draw from in your experience? I mean 18g, and I know cause I used them just today, are like faucets!

I only used them today for transfering/filtering (I was brewing) cause they were all I had.
