Needle size for SubQ injections - help!

[Mr. Blonde]

31g 8mm. These are the best for sub q in my experience.

I’ve used 12.7, 8 and 6mm. My preference is 31g 6mm for most peps, but all three worked ok. I use 12.7mm syringes for KLOW to minimize ISR.

ok ok noob questions , really confirmation. Went to buy syringes yesterday. They are not on the shelf but are legal to buy in USA North Carolina. One CVS looked at me like was a dr** addi**, The other one was slightly confused but did sell me the following size.

Please confirm these are fine for reta if ya don't mind w a 90 degree straight in jab of pinched stomach fat .

1/2ml 31g 6m. Cannot believe how tiny the needle is. first jab is today.

I'm not too worried about feeling them, more so that I am injecting correctly, not hitting intramuscular etc - I know with for example 4-8mm you just directly inject with no need to think angles etc

I pinch a little and go straight in, no angles.

I use an 8mm. Just got some 6mm to try.

Curious on the 6mm, let me know.

Those are fine. How many mg are doing?

31g are great, but as @Calm Logic mentioned it can be hard drawing out of the vials to fill the syringe, and it's not vial vacuum. I found this out when I just tried these 2 pins ago. I thought it was me. Letting the vials sit at room temp for a bit seems to help. I have a couple of hundred, so I'll get used to it, just a few seconds longer. My 30g was way easier to fill.

ya so to walk thru it all so someone can tell me " ahh hell no don't do that " I'm adding 1ml bac to r10 to reconstitute so that is 2 syringe fulls - 50ml syringes .5ml

or....

I guess I could do 4 fills at 50ml (200ml) and then 10ml would equal .5mg reta vs 1.0. ( my first dose will be .5mg)

Which do u think is easier.

I plan .5mg this week then 1.0mg next week for 2 weeks and see how I feel.....

31G/8MM are all I have tried

Pinch works fine, but I have been experimenting with not pinching and going in at an angle in the buttocks.

GHK Is real spicy for me, as is Tesa so I am trying to mitigate that a bit using butt fat.

The few Tesa pins I have tried in the glute have been great, with no pinch and no pain.

Once my next set of KLOW comes in I will also try it this way.

No 1ml syringes?

 

[gimmeshelter]

No 1ml syringes?

it is what the drug store gave me yesaterday

so no, not right now.

 

[gimmeshelter]

ya def gonna get a larger syringe for re constitution, that was a pain. took 6-8 min to re constitute just gonna assume that is normal. Onward !

You need to peak on-line. I personally like Easy Touch or BD, now Embeca. Injection Shop here in the Vendor section has ET decent pricing and a member discount.

You seem to be mixing up your units and ml. A 0.5ml syringe is 50 units. So 4 fills at 0.5ml would be 2ml or 200 units.

yes thanks. i ended up just adding 1ml into the r10 vial to keep things super simple. First timer.

The best we have found are 31g 5/16" or 8mm, they pin easy and pain free. A good brand is on amazon.

I had a look at Amazon needles, most of them say they aren't sterile, which is why I resort to getting them at the pharmacy, only problem is the length they give but from this thread people seem to manage

 

[RENjutsu]

12.7mm work great. Pinch an inch and jab it straight in.

Straight in? Are you not worried about it going intramuscular? A lot of online info points to this likely going IM

Best way till you get to the higher quantity vials

Which one?

Zero concern. Zero. I pin growth, BPC, and TB nightly with a 12.7mm needle.

Hi all, I have been taking retatrutide for a few weeks and I had the effects (atleast the weight loss mainly) (hard to say if it was mainly from the hard work put in though) I have now purchased from a supplier here, I was using 13mm needles and now I have some 12.7mm ones (the ones supplied from UK pharmacies) I was wondering if these are too large/long - I know a lot of people use 8mm, could I just choose not to insert the whole needle? Or what angle would be best, I do have a decent amount of belly fat so I believe angled the 12.7mm should work - just wondering if any advice ! Thanks

For syringe needles 31guage, 4-6mm.. For pen needles for glps etc 32G 4mm, but for GHK-cu and blends of that 8-mm has been long enough to avoid sting. For me..

I dont like the idea of a longer needle swirling around nickking bloodvessels etc. I go as short as I can.

I have 31g 8mm because I got them for free. When I have to get more I am going to get 29g or thicker. The 31g bend too easily for me.

The 29's poke a little more that the 31. My wife hated the 30g I had. I only had a few, and using them for something else. The 31 do bend, but mainly going in the stopper. I've got it down pretty good now. Dead center on it helps a ton.
