Hey everyone. Haven't posted in a while but still browse the site from time to time. I have been using 25 5/8" with detachable needles. It has low dead space but I have noticed I am losing about .1 - .2 cc in the actual detachable part of the needle. Has anyone else notice this with detachable needle heads? I load and inject with the same needle syringe in the quads. I don't even really use the detachable needle and can't really find the same size and length without a detachable needle.
I went to my pharmacy and asked for two 27g 1/2" needles/syringe to just try out and maybe lessen the waste from the detachable needle and the tech started talking other employees and one of them came up to me and said they don't recommend using a 27g because the molecules will be "shredded" when drawing and injecting and it won't be as effective in the body as using an 18g to draw and a 23g to inject. Has anyone else heard of this? I know people load and inject using 27g or higher and seem to be doing just fine with that. I'm using testosterone cypionate with cottonseed oil. Thanks!
