Needles, pinning and advice

Hi all, I've seen a few videos on pinning with 27G or 29G 1/2" insulin needles rather than using huge 23G 1" (or 1 1/2"). I don't mind using the bigger needles it's just easier using smaller ones for obvious reasons. The issue I'm having is deciding what will work for me. I'm taking 75units/0.75ml of oil twice a week and I'm just thinking as to whether that's viable in smaller needles or if it's too much. And before anyone comes with the "oh it's not IM tho", it is if you're lean enough just pin the delt. Appreciate any advice.
 
Wait what’s the question here then? lol are you lean enough for it to be IM or not? If so, just pick one and use it. Some oils you can get away with a 30g after warming the oil (especially with mct). If you don’t want to push harder or pin for a longer amount of time use a 27 or 25. I personally always used 27g 1/2” in VG and 29g 1/2” in delt. At least for the last few years.

Appreciate you big time. The question was if smaller needles are still a good option if you're using a decent amount of oil (in my case 75units/0.75ml) this has mainly answered my question but any additions are welcome.
 
.75ml is easy. You’re going to be using a 1ml barrel I would hope so you don’t need to worry all that much about gauge, it’ll go in. Stay away from 23g. Totally unnecessary. I’ll pin VG with a 1” 25g when I’m using 2-3ml of oil on cycle. If you’re lean enough, you can likely go 27-29g and 1/2” or 5/8”. Delts are 1/2”.

Thank you so much, really appreciate the advice!
