26g needle size for test-enan or prop

[drv77]

I have access to bd-brand syringes(complete packs including 26g needle) and because the price is pretty decent i consider buying a few but i would like to know if any of you tried to inject(@quads) with a needle of that size.

How harder is it to inject compared to 25g ? Will it take ages to draw the oil(i have pharma amps) into the syringe ?

To pin yes it would be slower. I wouldn't draw with that size though either, you'll be there a while, especially if you have multiple compounds. Also don't know if I'm just reading your post wrong but you should never pin with the same needle you use to draw with. Dulls the needle for one and puts you at more risk of infection.

Yeah that's what i meant.The needle is attached to the syringe :banghead:

25g is the highest gauge I would use for oils. Anything higher and you will be sitting there forever trying to push the damn thing.

I draw and pin with 25ga, 27ga, and even 29ga. The 26ga should work fine in my opinion. Yea smaller takes longer but with the right oils, it isn't a problem at all.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend drawing with 27ga or smaller but it can be done. However, 25ga works easily for drawing and shooting, I can't see 26ga being that much harder.

Draw with 18g push with 27g I couldnt imagine drawing with anything but a 18g

I hear this quite often, but I have never had that experience. I've managed to pin oil through a 29g before (I drew the oil with a larger needle though), and it did not take an unusually long amount of time. Actually, I kind of liked that it took a little bit longer, it seemed like the oil had more time to disperse as it was injected and cut down on pip.
