I’ve been doing some research and thinking about doing this I know there's many benefits but was wondering if anyone has been doing it ? Any advise ?

AS sub-q injects?.....no personal experience here. I read some mixed reviews.

I’ve read the same but more positive than negative feedback appreciate your help.

Same here, no personal experience. But have read about a few experiences with sub-Q and it doesn't interest me right now. Sounds like an extreme way to try and keep blood levels even. You here on a regular basis about guys getting unsightly bulges or pockets of oil under the skin. The oil dissipates over time, but I don't know, for now I'll stick to a half inch slin or good old hypodermic into the muscle. If someone can convince me, I'll give it a shot, pun intended, haha. 😆

Thanks for the info that’s the only thing stopping me is the oil build up under the skin I guess I’ll stick to the old fashion way hasn’t failed me the last 15 years lol thanks for the advice much appreciated

I do it sub-q with my normal TRT injections, but its a bitch to inject every 4th day.
I usually pull out 2.5-3 mLs of cyp with a 20g pin to dispense into insulin pins. I preload everything.
I just extract the plunger side and drip the needed amount into the insulin syringe. My actual TRT is 70mg (.35 mLs) every 4th day.
The oil does not come out fast at all through a 31g pin and can leave a lump or bruising from time to time.
If I am going over .5 mLs, I opt for the quads with an insulin pin.

I tried it when I was running 375mg/wk and quickly gave up on it after a few weeks. I used some 25x1 and 27x1/2 pins. I just didn’t put the full length in the skin. 30 or 31 pins backloaded is far beyond my patience level.

Injection volume was really limited. About .2-.25ml was my limit. Small lumps would appear, but disappear pretty quickly. Gotta keep moving spots since the oil does hang for a few days. I just couldn’t justify the effort of 7 pins/wk for just 375 (1.5cc)

I think it’s viable for trt, or low dose cycle, but just not very practical for a cycle. When you add in peptides/gh, it becomes even more of a chore.

I run 160mg/wk test c for trt and split that 3 days/week

This is exactly my thinking and experience with micro dosing. I just started back with experimenting with micro dosing and I'm sticking with a Hypodermic syringe and needle. Slin pins at 1ml just don't hold enough oil for me, so I'm using 25g X 1" with a standard 3ml syringe and it's working out just fine so far, it's reduced the time to get my daily dose in. Note: to make things easier I switched from Enanthate to Propionate ester to make life easier.

Not sure if it’s considered sub-q, but I use 1/2in 25g needle to inject and literally I can tell no difference. I’m on test for life, so I try to cut down on scar tissue. After awhile it gets harder to push needle in.

There's also 27g .5" hypos you can just apply to the syringes and use the same syringe over while just changing the hypo each injection.
Now that I've said that, I'll probably grab a 100 ct box myself. I did sub-q yesterday and it sucked with the greater volume of oil I used.

I like the idea of 27g X 0.5" hypo pins 📌

There's 30g also, but I'm not sure they'd be best, although you'd have the added force from the 3 mL syringe, but I'm going to order some 27g .5" today so I can jump around the injections.
I used .5 mLs of prop + .2 mLs of cyp in the same injection with a 30g 5/8" insulin pin... Never again! :ROFLMAO:

I've been using them for a few different injections.
I used it with .25 mLs of SR9009 a few times and 1 mLs of NPP + .5 mLs Cyp..
No issues with bruising, but slight swelling for 24 hrs with the higher amounts of oil.
It does take a little bit of time to inject, but not like using a slin pin.

I use 27’s on 1cc barrels. Works great. 25’s move pretty quick on a 1cc.

It put a 25x 1/2 on a 3cc last night and it was so much harder to get that plunger down….wider plungers have much more back pressure with fluid dynamics.

The only thing I use 1” for anymore is glutes. Everything else has been shallow IM with 1/2 or 5/8”.

You can fit more oil in a 3cc, but your better off doing more frequent injections anyways…rather than doing 3cc twice a week, do 1cc 6 days a week.
 
I've been doing subQ for a while when I hop on trt dose. Currently I'm doing 0.2ml eod. So basically 150-200mg a week. T levels came back at 1130 I use to do 0.3-0.4 twice a week but it use to leave a big lump for a bit and t levels where in 600-700 range
