22G for drawing?

[noveskeelite]

anyone used a 22 to draw? is it difficult? I have only tried 18 and 20. I imagine 22 will work since its pretty easy with a 20.

There are certainly exceptions, such as high density stuff ( 300+ mg/ml), but lots of gear will draw just fine even with a 23, albeit slowly. Temp of the gear has a lot to do with it too. When I was living in a cold, Chicago basement I had to warm slightly it up first.

yeah I wont be using any thick stuff. but I don't want it to be a slow annoying process either lol.

By slow, I'd say roughly 20 seconds per mil at 75 f. for things like test c 200, or tren e 300. Short esters might be even a little faster, but it also depends on the oil the lab uses.

always have it works great and It doesnt ruin your rubber stopper

Nope 22 will work fine . oil shouldnt be so thick it cant go up a 22 . You can even pin w a 22 if you want, Dr does .

yeah that was part of reason why I ordered some some. thanks for the reassurance everyone.

I've drawn and pinned with 22g. It works fine for both. I do prefer drawing with 20 and injecting with 23g or 25g though.

22 should be fine you just might be sitting there for a bit. I always heat my gear so typically I never have any issues.

Im liking the sound of 22 sometimes the 25 ,just dont want to go in ,, its only been like 3.5 years and scar tissue already , the real vets must be like rock

22 works easily for drawing. Been using entire cycle doesnt really take any longer than 20s. Also saves stopper a bit.
