5/8" in length but what size in gauge? If I try to inject subq with any gauge lower than 27g, it's too big and causes issues for whatever reason. 27g-28g is nice for everything. Subq 1/2" is nice. For IM I have always needed 1inch or longer. 1.5" I will have to hold it out some in some locations. If you inject too deep near bone it sucks too lol.
When you guys inject into your delt...

25g. I pick parts of the body were there isn't any fat, or at least nothing more than the thickness of skin. Ensure I keep pressure while injecting as well. The gear is working, just like the discussions about location lol
And 3ml to a quad is insane
Only thing I dread about quad injects is hitting a nerve done that once or twice not fun.
I was lucky enough to never hit a nerve. Only a handful of injections, though, so the odds were in my favour.
Ya i have had that happen once, it was very odd.
25ga 1in ??
Yup! BD draw with whatever is on sale. Last buy was BD 20ga 1in for $13 plus tax for 100
I Load up with 18g . So far it’s been working for me !!!! 25g the rest always
I might be odd, but pecs are the easiest site for me. 2 to 3 shots per week for 10 years on TRT in mainly pecs and the muscle is still soft (no scar tissue).. when I do delts, there is so much scar tissue that the pin feels like going through layers of cardboard when I push it in. Quads, I hit nerves and get the odd gusher.. I have done on pin in my glutes because I just don't have the flexibility in my shoulders.. Lat/bicep/triceps/calves are easy, but I tend to touch nerves.
Been doing TRT with 25g 1/1/2 for ten years without any issues. Delts and legs no problem, but left glute was left with severe scar tissue when I used to pin it with 20g back in the 90's. Been trying to roller foam the shit out of it without any success. Those days, you'd take whatever was available at the moment, and thought It was ok back then...Obviously NOT!
25g sub q doesn't work for me, it just causes pain or welts so maybe you're missing the muscle or going inbetween some fibers. Regardless however you inject, I find a vibrating massager helps and so does working out that body part that day.25g. I pick parts of the body were there isn't any fat, or at least nothing more than the thickness of skin. Ensure I keep pressure while injecting as well.

I only use 27g in my delts because of scar tissue. It's a lot less surface area than my ass cheeks so the chances I hit the spot I used 3 weeks ago are still pretty high.
Switched to 25g 1" since Amazon had the 100 pack dirt cheap and delivered to my door with Prime, and so far,so good. Long gone are the days back in Da day when I had to make the trip to Hy & Zels and ask the pharmacist for the cannons they had behind the counter @ 25 cents a piece. Been using one of our sponsors Test-E made with MCT oil and the easiness to draw with that needle and injecting as well It's amazing. All shots IM, haven't got the balls to Sub-Q, I'm just Old school, I guess, Sue Me!
