    @brandenscheidecker Thanks very much. I've got tons of syringes and want to use them up. I don't mind drawing out of the vials; sometimes I want more of something and some days less. Good to know about the fridge. I would have thought freezer is the way to go, but would rather have the freezer room for other things.

    @brandenscheidecker That's 5ml vial. It can easily take up to 7ml if one uses the empty headspace. [image: 1780282608542-pxl_20260601_023913559-2.jpg]

    When I first plugged it in at 30 minutes it had only dropped 10 degrees, but at 1hr it was down to temp. Pre chilling would be a must before transferring research materials.

    the barrel of the needle holds 1-2 units so you need to prime it first, before you test accuracy.

    @RagnatLothbrok You don't need a special case if you get a dedicated refrigerator and a freezer. The dorm room types do not have a defrost cycle; no warm humid air, no condensation onto the items.

    @mrjoshua44 100% this: we’ve seen so many people try mixing their peps including specifically a GLP-1 and report very bad outcomes either with gelling or very uncomfortable ISR’s. I have mostly seen people report gelling. With other peps, mix if you want, but go slow if it is something you haven’t seen mixed or blended. My bride’s rat was complaining about multiple pins so her peptide concierge mixed her Glow and ARA-290 into one shot. She complained about the ISR pain for 4 days and her concierge requested a transfer to Anna Wintour. (The request, sadly, was denied.)

    @ResearchCat I just put seven vials of SS-31 into two pen cartridges. Was a little stressful but it all worked out. [image: 1780105966978-img_0751-compressed-resized.jpeg]

    No need. Nothing it going through it. The filter is to remove potential contaminants in the peptide solution, not particulates in the air. The likelihood that something bad in your house is going to find its way through the breather needle and cause a problem is quite small. Though now that you asked, I am sure I will start finding cat hairs in my cartridges.

    Pt-141 is basically the same as melanotan-2 - a 7-aa-ring-shaped peptide. It might make it really hard to be absorbed that way.

    @Randy That one is sweet, and not to terribly priced either. I've been looking for one myself. I did put in a word to my Brother's wife's cousin that's a dentist, that if he is ever getting rid of one and it still works to let me know. Maybe I'll get the family discount..

    @Randy I think that link is bad, the packaging is in Chinese, and the reviews are not great. I think you may need to update the link. Also take a look at the description.

    I swear I'm just gonna buy me a used autoclave, buy everything in bulk and start sterilizing the cartridges myself.

    If you get a raised area immediately after inj you need to a longer needle.

    The reason the B2 is so much cheaper than the B21 is to make it more appealing to the uneducated buyer. With the B2 you are locked into Nimbot only labels that require a thermal ink ribbon. Spending a little more up front and being able to use any label that fits in the machine is worth the extra IMO. You just won’t have multiple ink options and holographic labels as options. Simpler is sometimes better I say , but you make have a creative flare that wants all them bells and whistles.

    Also, there are sources for the filters that can be confirmed legit, you just won't find them on Amazon.
