I always use a 25G x 5/8" needle and a 2ml syringe, always!

And I only use TERUMO brand needles and syringes. FUCK BK AND MICROLANCE garbage.

I always have a 100 pack of both needles and syringes at home. When the boxes are hgalf empty I go to my local pharmacy and buy new ones.

 

[voodoo lady]

28g. or whatever i can get, typically. our local pharmacies require a perscription.

currently 31g BD 1cc short tips i think its 5/16" but the next box i get im gonna go back to using terumo and i think there smallest gauge is like 28 or 29 so ill be back to that. im going back to that cuz my friend has troubles with the thin gauge when he gets some from me. i personally dont have any proplem with any guage just dont like long tip needles.

I don't think anyone uses less than 27ish, so I put the poll down to 26. I also added preference on tip length, barrel size, and brand.
I can redo it if you wish, I just thought I'd throw something up there for now.


Also, you can vote for each category - gauge/tip/barrel/brand - you have more than 1 vote

Enjoy your syringe thread.

Currently trying out Monoject 29 gauge 1/2 cc short needles , i also have yet to try but did get a few 27 gauge 1 cc short needle tuberculin type syrings . with the removeable tip . the 29s are nice i couldnt register with a 31 gauge but the 29 did a very nice job .

 

[phatass]

get all my shit for free... needles, water, filters... the whole lot.... havn't re-used a needle siiiiiiiiiiince................................. used to get the orange tip 1cc, but recently all theyve had is 2cc removable tips, and theyre fukin difficult to register.....

I've only IMed, but I've used 28g BD syringes. I also have a really fancy glass syringe I use for measuring solutions which would work great for injecting. I mostly use fat tips you wouldn't want to poke yourself with, but I do have a few IV grade needles saved up for a rainy day. I wonder who's using 26g needles, that's big.. hopefully you're not doing that regularly.

i use 28 gauge, 3cc, "nipro" brand. i find with smaller needles i can't "feel" when i enter the vein and so it's harder for me to register and stay registered.

 

[dankstersauce]

I'm not even sure what i used to use...but they were always BD. Pretty much whatever the pharmacist hands me as long as the CC's are right.

I don't inject very often, but I use 25g 5/8" 2.5 ml BD syringes. As I only inject perhaps a few times a year I don't think this does any significant damage. Recently I also got a pretty nice all-glass 5 ml syringe, that I will probably try out the next time. The plunger runs really really smoothly.

I have considered getting some 26g needles though.

 

[DemonXstreeM]

I usta always use 31g or 29g BD Ultra Fine II 1cc 5/16

However my last purchase was online for a 100 count box. They are Easy Touch 29g 1cc 1/2 and I must say that I like them better than the BD brand. The plunger has the smoothest action out of any of the BD syringes I have used. Also only came to $17.70 with s&h fees.

BD 1cc 30guage long tip.

~CTdopeLove

Never missed a shot with that particular combo. Been staying with it for over a year.

 

[bingey]

I got the short tip bd's once and boy do they suck you have to put it in like vertically to get some blood in there

29 long tip bd plz

I use 1cc 29g short tip terumo's, they come in the fitpacks around here which you can get from vendors, perfect for me and supposedly terumo's are the best(ive never used any others so I dont know) so thanks NSW government for giving us the best! Ive used these for meth, ritalin and oxycontin, ive never needed a bigger barrel coz you can fit a shitload of any drug in 1cc, I couldnt imagine needing 3cc.

I have some 19g needles in my medicine cabinet for some reason(my mums a nurse) if anyone knows why would they make such a thick gauge? I hope they dont poke people with needles that thick, I cant think of any reason why you'd need a 19g needle?
