To slin or not to slin

That is the question.
A discussion in another thread sparked my interest.
Some here push their oils through a slin pin and some refuse.
I'd like to hear both sides of this debate.
What size darts do you use and why?
Also why DON'T you use the opposite?
I personally use 25ga 1" for most IM injections, but I also use shorter slins for say biceps, triceps, delts. I have gone as big as 22ga 1 1/2" but found the 25ga 1" to be a good "universal" size for most muscle groups I pin.
Being a fan of Sust/Prop, I like the sound of smaller pins for more frequent injections though

I use the slin method, less scarring IMO...

23's and 25's for me.

Tried a 29 once in my delts and ended up bruising the skin from pushing so hard on the plunger. Even with heating the oil, it didn't want to come out.

Also, if you're pinning more than a ml, I would stick with 25's. This morning, I took 3ml to the quad with a 23 and it was about 20-30% of the time that it took with the 25 last week. I also only pin twice/week.

I use slins when I'm cruising, and 25x1 when I'm blasting.

If I'm pinning 1CC or less, I'll always go with a slin. When I'm blasting, pins are always at least 2CC's, so I go with 25x1.

Anyone else care to chime in?
You guys using 1/2" pins in glutes/quads/etc? I use em in pecs, delts, bis and tris but never tried in a glute/quad/ventro or bigger muscles groups.
I'm also only pinning 1-1 1/2cc per injection though

I think 1" is minimum for Quads and glutes. Otherwise the "deposit" is too close to the fascia and leaks out into surrounding tissue. This can either speed or slow absorption and I try to achieve consistency (especially long esters). With TNE or suspension, the leaks prolly would effect anything.

I use 29x1/2 time to time, either in triceps or delts with no issues. I just hate that it takes longer than usual to push. Also my doctor wont prescribe slin pins for my trt which sucks.

I much prefer Slin pens over needle and syringe .. you just dial in the ius you want and the needle is so sharp, because you don't have to pierce through a rubber stopper..

I'd eat my food through a slin pin if I could....love those things. Sometimes they are not practical, though. Large volume injects, I use a 23g and get it over with...
