Are these syringes good for testosterone injections?

[GoldenPlague]

The testosterone uses sesame oil. I will post photos of the syringes I got, and, please, tell me if I should use them or buy better.

I bought insulin syringes, and measurement is in units, not milligrams. A full syringe is 1 milliliter.

I will start with 100 milligrams per week, injecting 2 times a week, so I need to know how many units correspond to 50 milligrams.

Also, take a look at the extension the seal has. Can this prolonged extension mess up with the doses, since it takes up space?

Needles look very short. What are they?

This depends on the test concentration you have. if it's 250mg/ml you will get 125mg if you use 5 units on the syringe. 10 units would be 1ml or 250mg. Need to know what you have.

This is a low loss syringe. It's fine.

One is 25G, the other is 27G.

You mean 5 small units or 5 big units?

 

[s.gentz]

One is 25G, the other is 27G.

Length? You need to use 1" to inject unless you are really lean or using delts.

Big lines. Each one is a unit. it's a 10 unit syringe. Each unit is 1/10th of a ml. Units and ml are interchangeable.

Why didn't you buy right the first time? Pins and syringes can be brought separately

Yeah, I bought them separately.

Anyway, I will keep the needles, then buy standard syringes.

Isn't the deep intramuscular injection to make testosterone better absorbed just a myth? As far as I know, testosterone will be absorbed no matter if it's deeply injected or not.

Do you think it's ok to inject in the hip (vastus lateralis)?

You’re better off deep in the muscle. It will have more consistent absorption.
Hip is fine ventro glute. Vastius lateralis is quad. Lotta veins there.
For a beginner though I would just go glute with a 1” needle.

You said my needles look short, and I agree with this. They definitely aren't as long as the needles I have seen video tutorials.

But they are still 1 inch long (a little bit over 2,50 centimeters). I will upload a photo for you to see.

So, this is the recommended length and I don't need to buy longer needles, ok?

It's the issue of volume (so a sub-q jab will be less volume unless you like what appears to bean abscess. Also suib-q tens tol me more frequent for the same reason.

There are, because once again you seem to have done little research, tens of videos on YT on where to jab

Drawing up with a 25g is slow and annoying.

Just get some 21g to draw up the oil.

Then use a 1 inch 25g to inject.

you don't even know how to use a measuring tape...fuck put the zero where it belongs, these needles don't reach 2 cm

One is 25G, the other is 27G.

You mean 5 small units or 5 big units?

now there are small and big units...good to know
Thank you

@GoldenPlague why such a small pin? you should be doing 1inch needle and go IM
and depends on your gear mg/ml and if its 250mgs/ml thats roughly 1/2 ml per time

 

[ceo]

bros come on man and where is your long you keep promising us
we want to see you put one up

 

[ROIDDERS]

if you want the best results its time for a log now
we haven't even seen what you look like

 

[chesty]

you definitely need to put up pictures it's way past time to do it
