is 21G needle too big to inject the glute or thigh?

[Steve Armstrong]

I ran out of needles and only have a dozen or so syringes left with 21g pins. Have you used 21g for injecting?

You can do it but it sucks

You're in the middle of a blast? I know some old timers that have used 18awg. You'll live. Why not order some new pins in the mean time?

If you gotta use a 21g, I'd go with the glute.

Harpoon, just have a phone ready, you may bleed out

Go to the store and buy new ones... Not sure what state you are in but they are perfectly legal in many.

Holy mother of OUCH .......im not using a 21 .....no way but as the others have stated ,,,do an asscheek injection if your gonna use them.Get a whine cork for the hole its gonna leave to stop the blood loss

 

[TheClap]

Go ahead and use it. But order smaller ones today. Or like POB said go to the pharmacy and get some. Especially if you are on a short ester cycle. One or two pokes with a 21g, fine but ED or EOD? I'd say scar tissue is in the near future with that scenario.

I've used 18 x 1.5..that is a scary site. If you go ventrogluteal its not so bad..but 21 and 23 are pretty common. I have found 23 to 25 seem to be the ideal gauge "for me" for most compounds.
