Right side dosage different than left?

Just curious if anyone else uses different dosages depending on right or left side?

I never noticed any difference between sides. I’ve seen a couple guys here claim it makes a difference but that’s a head scratcher for me.

I guess if you consistently miss on one side it might make a difference or if you have significant scarring on one side.

I injected for 11 years.

I definitely seem to miss a lot on the left side for some reason? I am using 1/2 in. needles but I don’t know if I’m going too deep or not deep enough. I had some girth enhancements so I feel I need at least the 1/2 in length.

Maybe consider using an autoject. You can set it at different depths to inject. You place a syringe inside it

Are you sure your girth enhancements are ok to poke numerous holes in it?

I’m still figuring out my dosage, but it seems that I might get different results on different sides.

How are you determining if you're at the correct depth?

I don't inject regularly, but I experimented enough to know that I got the correct dosage more easily on the right because I'm right handed. Left handed injections --or trying to use my right hand to inject on the left-- were trickier.

I use the autoinject Ei, that i ordered on amazon. It is very similar to the autoinjector above. For me personally if helps with the injections.

I insert the needle until I slightly indent the skin and then inject the Trimix.

You may be going too deep. Are you checking for plunger resistance or aspiration? If at the correct depth the plunger should depress easily.
