Yea, i've been drawing with 20's and the rubber falls apart. Sometimes
I've noticed some of the sponsors are moving away from rubber and using something like plastic/silicone.
They seem to hold up better.

haven't used anything bigger then slin pin in idk how long... can't remember last time i used a regular pin... :star-:ars
I'm not sure why everyone likes to use big pins. Here's my $0.02 worth on size and why.
Use a 20g or 18g to draw gear with. Suck a little air in syringe then replace the pin with a 25g (of course remove air before you poke). Use a 1" for everywhere (quads, delts, bis. tris) and a 1-1/2" for glutes (unless you're one of those skinny guys w/no arse).
You dull a needle poking through the septum in a vial. So, doing this will give you fresh pin for the poke. It takes a LONG time to draw gear through a 25g pin (very frustrating if you do). The 25g will make you inject SLOWER. You shouldn't be injecting faster than 1cc per minute. The 25g will help injections go slower and will cause less trauma at injection site.
The exception to this rule is suspension, which can have rather large crystals and has plugged 23g pins. I guess that’s a good reason not to use suspension, since I’m tired of clogged pins.

Sorry for the newbie question, but what are slin pins? I use 23 gauge. I might have to try heating the vile up too.
Just curious as to why you guys rather use slin pins(which requires backloading and all that) then a 27-29g needle after you have already drawn?
Insulin needles
Everyone will have different opinions on this.Is there a minimum pin length that should be used? I have been using 5/8 for my TRT in my glute. Should I be using a longer one? Opinions?

I haven't used anything but 30g 1/2" 1cc slin pins in a loooong time, easy rotation, Delts, mid and high Quads, Lats, inner and outer pecs.
I save glutes for blasting w/25g 3cc
