Trouble Pinning

Anyone ever have trouble pinning? Lately I’ve been having to push super hard on the plunger and it’s still taking 2 minutes to pin just 1cc. I used to be able to do it in 20 seconds. Using 25g needles so IDK what’s up. The only site that is still quick is glutes. Delts and VG take forever and I’m giving myself bad PIP from pushing so hard and shaking.

Could be scar tissue. Warm the oil on a coffee mug warmer. 25g u a beast. Warm the oil to make sure there’s no crystals and rotate sites to minimize scar tissue.

Any switch in oil? Pinning gso instead of mct or something? In any case heat the oil a bit. Candle warmer or even a blow drier.

Using a 1cc syringe as opposed to a 3cc or 5cc will make a big difference. Not sure why but it does. I use a 27guage and 1 cc if using 1cc or less… works great…although draw with a 20 guage

I have the same exact issue from time to time. Sometimes I can’t even push hard enough to get it to go. It’s usually the quads that it happens. I find that turning the needle around while it’s still inside the muscle. Or pulling the needle out alittle bit at a time while still pushing…I usually can find a spot where it starts to go in smoothly. But I know exactly what u are talking about. It’s annoying as hell. Happens about 1 every 5 pins. No clue why.

Edit. I’ve even tried heating the oil. It still doesn’t work. It’s something to do with that muscle and the certain spot u are in. Cause I heat up all my shots. So heating it won’t help.
And yea. The pip after it is terrible cause I’m also shaking like an addict cause of pushing so hard. Lol. Thought it was just me. It’s weird as hell. Only happens to me in my quads.

I get the same thing in my right delt every like 15 pins, it’s super weird.

are u flexing the muscle and just not aware u are? when u do delt kinda hug yr arm to yr side, take all the delt tension off. when u do the leg, put yr foot in front of the other and push back, take all tension off the quad.
if yr re-usinng the barrel could be the plunger is deteriorating. or if its the same pin there’s a clog.
been there in all the above.

I think this is caused when you pin into scar tissue?
I agree, I notice when I pin glutes and 1.5 needle isn’t in all the way,sometimes hard to push. But if I go fully in, it’s easier

I notice this pinning with 3cc syringe and 27g pin. I heat up the oil with a heating pad for 10 mins before I draw it up. Pretty sure it’s bc of the syringe size and that I’m using GSO. I do shake from pushing so hard and give myself some pip but it’s nothing debilitating. I tried a 1cc syringe once and it needed a lot less force to push the oil. Iirc the bigger the syringe, the more force is applied to the walls of the syringe instead of the bottom while pushing the plunger. Honestly thinking of replacing with 1cc syringes since I only pin 1cc atm and save the 3cc ones for future blasts.

I have 2 different sizes and the only ones that are hard to push are 27g for me. The 5/8 inch 25g comes out like water. No issues on that. I’ve had horrific pins recently just because I decided to stray from the tried and true Prop/Enanthate combo and tried Test Acetate. Never again can I use Ace alone in 1 full ML. Leg got all swollen and my ass right now is on FIRE for 2 days now. It’s such a short ester that the effects are going to end but the pain will still exist, it’s crazy. My leg hurt for 5 days and even after 8 days I couldn’t full stretch it out backwards.
