This might sound dumb but bear with me. My last batch of stuff I used sesame oil. Injecting it the past few times it seems like its harder to inject through a 25g needle than in the past. How much of a difference in viscosity is there between the different oils (walnut, peanut, grapeseed, seasame, cottonseed, etc...)? I'm thinking maybe in the past the UG lab I had used a thinner oil in their product hence the easier injects.
Also, is there any advantages for thicker/thinner oil other than ease of injecting? Thnx |

Grapeseed is said to be the "thinnest" and flows through the needle best. I also heard walnut was fairly thin.

Castor 297.0 - Thickest
Crambe 53.6
High-Oleic Safflower 41.2
Peanut 39.6
Sunflower 37.1
Grapeseed 37.0
Sesame 35.3
Corn 34.9
Cottonseed 33.5
Soybean 32.6
Safflower 31.3 - Thinnest
If buying safflower make SURE it not the high oleic. Safflower will also last longer than grapeseed before going rancid.

Shit, grapeseed aint thin at all. Safflower it is?

Um, why the fuck do you WANT the thinnest oil possible. You do realize the difference is negligable right?? Board myths. You can make thinner oil than any viscosity listed there by adding another 5% BB to any one of the oils. Duhhhh. Walnut is great, peanut is great, grapeseed is great. Who cares buy it cheap and make it, its all oil. Want it thinner, heat it up. Inject with a 22g be a fucking man.

I am kind of surprised at that list and I question if it is accurate. The grape seed I have definitely seems noticably thinner than the sesame I had.
I like grape seed because it is thin, healthy and because it has a high temperature smoke point. The smoke point is why olive oil isn't really appropriate for the frying pan. I use the grape seed for frying now as well. Good stuff.
