What size needle?

[Myosin10]

Hey I have some EQ and Test E and I was wondering what gauge needle you guys would use to draw out the solution and what size needle you would use to inject. I plan on using 500mg of Test E and 400mg EQ a week. The EQ is in a 10ml vial and the Test is in a 1ml amp. I used a 25g today to draw it out of the EQ vial but it was very difficult to get it out.

heating up the vial in some warm/hot water will help draw it out quicker. Otherwise you can use a 23g to draw and a 25g to pin. I honestly never noticed a problem drawing with even 28g needles (for test prop). Just takes a little longer but it does draw through the needle.

I was using a 6ml syringe because I wanted to put the B12 in it too. What I did was put 2ml of B12 in the syringe and then took a 25g needle and put it in the 10ml vial of EQ and I really couldnt suck out any EQ. I had to get another syringe so I used a 3ml syringe with a 25g needle and I drew out 1ml but it was hard. The EQ is clear oily liquid right? Even sucking up the 1ml amp of Test E was a bit difficult. Maybe Im just use to sucking up the B12 so easily that the oils are just a bit harder to do.

I would use a 18 or 20g to draw and 23-25g to inject.

No pun but just a side note 18g is going to really tear up the septum which is there for sterility. Does this mean you will get infected? I highly doubt it, but obviously it increases the chance's. I would recommend being patient and using a 23g.

Same here!

If it's a 10ml bottle I wouldn't worry about eating up the rubber topper. I never had a problem unless your twisting and pulling from side to side, abusing the rubber. But now if it's a 50 or 60ml bottle thats going to take some time finishing which means more poking through the rubber I would use 20g for sure to make sure it last.
