      I tried drawing water with it for fun and it was fast?

      Lasts longer like how long?

      I didn’t do before so just wonder if I’m doing something that I may regret.

        Estrodiol esters is usually dissolved in MCT oil (or another oil to avoid allergens) which is more viscous than water. I use 22G to draw and 25G inject personally. As for how fast 30G will be, it depends on how hard you push (to a limit). It will work and you will get an idea for the time it will take when drawing. There is quite a bit of leeway in setup so I would try not to stress over it too much. If it becomes too annoying, you can just lower the gauge when you get more needles later.

        I have 25g, it takes longer with something more viscous like estrogen so 30g will be longer.basnitnthe time it takes to get the fluid in and push out.

          Longer like how much time? How many minutes? Examples?

          I just wondered as I want to know what to expect.

            I’m not sure for other gauges but mine 25g takes like 30 sec to fill .5ml and it creates bubbles that I have to clear. I see some people on YouTube that have a separate draw and injection syringe but most just go with 1.

            I’ll have to time mine when I take it today.
