@randy Question about the disposable pens on your sight. They would come with the vial so I would only need to add needles ?

@uxu Nice - thank you! I don't really need anything but I'm sure I'll find something I WANT. I had to ask my son what it was, and it's an old ender 3 pro. So it's probably not great but I can at least fiddle around!

What happens when BAC water reaches its expiration date? Should it truly be thrown out? What goes bad with it?

If you've been looking for Hydrapeak food jars lately, go check your local Sierra Trading Post. I hit mine today and found a bunch of them sitting in the closeout section for $12.99. They had the 25oz size and the next size up. I snagged a solid gray one, mostly as a subtle nod to the nature of what we do here, along with a black digital camo. There were plenty of other options on the shelf, too. Given how hard these are to find online right now without paying ridiculous markups, finding them in person was a huge win. I also see them once in a while at Home Goods and TJ Maxx (All three have the same parent company) - Your store might be a gamble, but it's worth checking. These are pretty much ideal once you drop a custom insert into them. I've been pulling designs off Printables and MakerWorld and printing my own inserts using standard PLA on my 3D printer. The PLA holds up great inside the stainless steel shell. They work nicely whether you need a quick-access layout for short-term rotation or a tighter setup for long-term storage. If you need a solid storage option that holds temperature without breaking the bank, head over to Sierra before people clear them out.[image: 1787173348321-pxl_20260819_190823725-resized.jpg] [image: 1787173348702-pxl_20260819_190908357-resized.jpg] [image: 1787173349093-pxl_20260819_190736842-resized.jpg]

@STATIEEIGHT I can confirm all those facts. Someones been around i see

@mmp used till last drop for 100 days with the following strict rule — once a noodle is out of BAC bottle no repoking with the same one. Fresh noodle for every poke. At times after reconstituting multiple peps, I'm left with a pile of 3ml luer locks to dispose but hey luer locks are dirt cheap. Use noodles liberally and BAC judiciously! My 2c.

@pep_researcher Yes, I seem to be mixing up sterility and endo... I keep cracking my head on the sides of the rabbit hole as I tumble down.

I had a tiny bit of a sting with the 50 mg bottle and two ML of BAC water. I mixed my next one with three ML and had no stinging. The problem is the one I’m using right now is 80 mg and I have a kit coming from the Group buy that is 100 mg. The 80 with 3 ML stings pretty bad. There is no way I could do 100 mg with it.

Thought about doing this actually but never bothered because i only have 31g for my peps. Might have to pick up some 29's and try it out. Ive been using 29g 1/2" pins for my SubQ for about 6yrs now. A pen would be nice. You can get ultrafiltered 50ml bottles of MCT for around $15 online. Then just filter it into a vial with your high dose Test at whatever ratio you need. Just trying my first gray market T for the first time next month after 22yrs on pharma. These are 250mg instead of 200mg but Jano tested so we will see how it goes.

@orionnilson said: Made something similar too the one that was shown on the channel for my vault and its been great so far, my cure for the tight seal and hard too open was food grade silicon grease, i put that on the threads of the lid and seal, now its smooth as butter when i neeed too break out some cold storage peps!!

Also where did you find the file? I bought that same container, both the 1500 & 2000 and am looking for inserts file to print.

I use these on my BAC vial. I like them.

I combine all my blends. Here is how I do Wolverine+Kpv [image: 1786800622348-screenshot_20260815_062942_chrome.jpg] [image: 1786800622528-screenshot_20260815_062953_chrome.jpg] [image: 1786800622719-screenshot_20260815_063006_chrome.jpg]

I use v2s and remove the pen cap. I disinfect the skin surface and I pin probe the surface for sensory nerves endings and away from hair first. Those are the nerves that inially hurt. When you probe with the pin tip find the spot where it feels the least to nothing at all (the sweet spot). You can probe the skin without breaking skin. Rest the needle tip on the skin at an angle when probing. When you find the sweet spot pin on that spot straight down. Most of the time you will not hit anything. But I had a few between the epidermis and the dermis that I would hit a nerve or a capillary. The nerve feels like an sharp electric shock, the capillary and arteries like sharp nudge (def' bleed). I usually pull it out as soon as I start to feel them and probe again. If you dont have the patients nor the *nerve to do it. Then quickly "pinch, pin and pray". There is a possibility you pinned the arteries in the subQ layer which have enough pressure along with your heart racing from the idea of pinning. lol [image: 1786796369875-what-is-skin.jpg-300x184.png]

@Paradox I looked into using it for GHK-CU thinking it might lessen my reaction. this is what I get about can I use it to recon GHK-CU... "No, you should avoid using sodium chloride solutions for GHK-Cu. GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) should instead be reconstituted using standard Bacteriostatic Water (sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol).Why Sodium Chloride is Not RecommendedCopper Displacement: Sodium chloride or saline solutions can cause the sodium and chloride ions to interfere with or displace the copper(II) ion bound in the GHK-Cu tripeptide complex, which can reduce its stability and potency.Injection Comfort vs. Stability: While bacteriostatic sodium chloride contains a preservative (benzyl alcohol), the salt component itself is unnecessary and chemically suboptimal for copper peptides compared to plain bacteriostatic water.Best Practices for Mixing GHK-CuCorrect Solvent: Use plain Bacteriostatic Water (containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol) to prevent bacterial growth over multi-dose use."

@Randy said: yeah. waiting on some bubble packing for them. Awesome. Sounds good. Ill wait. Thanks for getting back to me.

@MyB OK thank you. Good information

Theres a round spring loaded retaining ring at the base of the rod that the cartridge depresses. Push on that and wiggle the threaded part to release it.

@ResearchCat I always hated the thought of needles in my body until this year, now I'm just like you...I watch closely as the needle breaks the skin...I'm almost fascinated by it.
