31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back, i could be wrong

how far from the navel is actually far enough

quick one 90 degrees or 45
push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards

dont recap

do you aspirate, or is that only an intramuscular thing

the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small, your mileage will differ

warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is
