@pc.envy I have a lot of Convi and Gansulin, wish I could get them in more colors. The sleeves are ok, but some sleeves fit good and some don’t. And the labels don’t stuck to the sleeve the best. I am actually moving over to almost all Nova 4 with that adapter. The Nova 4 just feels really solid. There are a bunch of other pens out there I want to try, but none look as solid to me as the Nova 4. My friends are lucky, I give them all the pens and other stuff I buy and don’t like.

@ResearchCat What is a flat head needle?

Same. Had a post about the tips I got not even fitting through the hidden cap feature. I'm using the Novofine Plus! 32G 4mm and the base is fatter so I have to skip that step of putting the sheath back on. Much easier tbh

I freeze anything I plan to not to use within the next year. You’ll want a vacuum wall canister if storing in a self defrost freezer. Place a couple Desiccant packets inside the container too. I use these containers that come with the inserts. I prefer the flat top one. https://community.peptidecritic.com/post/1384

@Juan-Doe MarioPrintCo. He made trays for the one I posted. They hold 21 vials per canister

I'm curious of the longer term storage of a reconned pep in a cartridge vs in a vial. I understand the suggested usage of a reconned pep within 28-30 days has more to do with the BACw keeping potential bacteria growth down with repeated poking of the vial top diminishing over time. With loading a cartridge and purging the air, would it be plausible the pep would encounter less contamination possible? It's been on my mind for a while now and figured this is the best place to ask! Appreciate the community, great place for learning and sharing

@jackiewatson said in Xulin Pen 3: What makes it better than the other manual ones? Just curious! Just had a better feel about it to me than the V2 that I got. V2 is a good pen also.

I realize there are a lot of Pen users, and can see the benefits of the Pens. For now I still use disposable syringes. I'm not an EZ touch only kinda person especially with their prices on the rise. I found CleverChoice EZ and SureComfort work just as good as EZ touch imo. For those of you who are still using syringes and are looking for a good price point, I found a site that offers a very good prices compared to EZ touch. If your state allows, ADW diabetes offers cases of 500 for $50 - $57 CleverChoice EZ and SureComfort, .3cc, .5cc and 1cc. If this isn't allowed, please let me know and I'll delete it Just thought it would be helpful for those looking to save some $$

@Randy Thank you!

A few of them do: AOD9064, MOTs-C, Semax. And it is as much as 6 points over a few days. But now that I think about it (I don't know much about biochemistry. But I do know something about passing gas.) when I get the bubbles, no equal amount of liquid gets forced out after sitting for a couple days. And the vials are laying on their sides. So, I am going to throw out there that maybe this is a coalescence of micro bubbles already inside the vial after filling them. It would be good to degas them since, if you have a bubble during an injection, it does waste peptide when you withdraw and the bubble is still expanding.

So I have determined that I like the sleeves because they are easy to put on, but…. The D11 labels don’t stick to them that great. So I am looking for a source that makes the wraps in different colors. It is times like these that I wish I still had my Roland Printer/Plotter, I would just make them myself.

Remember the days when we cringed when we heard “Made in Mexico” (Thing Fender Guitars), now when I see Made in Mexico, I am like oh this must be a good one, it isn’t made in china...

I just ordered a box of 33g, which appear to be back in stock now. I will put the 32g away in case of emergency!

@Randy said in Nasal Spry Bottles: thats up to the end user. I know some that run isopropal alcohol then sterile water through them between fills. I toss em OK thanks

They use to have them on Amazon but were pulled. I stopped using them and switched to hospira. Peptide is only as good as it’s bac H2O. [image: 1776086970958-img_6686.jpeg]

Not at all…I went through that too. It is designed to hide the needle from view, while you jab.

@Sable-Darqness said in Pens with peptides that "sting"?: I have noticed with the GHK-Cu that it never stung going in but about 15 mins to an hour after it was achey, a couple times it ached for a couple days Same for me, don't experience a sting while going in, but I had 2 nights, at about 2 am, was woke up out of a deep sleep with a sting that came from the depths of hell, lasted until about 5! The devil incarnate, oof. I gave the Annela protcol a try and that has worked wonderfully, no sting since then(hope I'm not jinxing myself).

@MyB Thanks

I would agree and advise you to fiancnailly invest in Syringes, Filters, Luer Lock needles from Amazon, Directions from Jeff and Randy, BAC Water from Uncle Wangs and peptides from gray market.

I like keeping a bit of a diary here in case it is helpful. I find that when I am doing my prep, I often refer back to Randy’s videos to make sure I am doing things right. Today I was reconning 3 MOTS-C vials and loading into a pen, 2 vials of NAD+(500mg buffered), 3 vials of Tesa, and 4 vials of ARA-290 for the bride’s rat. As you can see, there is a lot of prep gear to be used for this since I am basically running 4 lines at once. Everything went smoothly, though I have to say that my fixation with process and cleanliness ran directly into my desire for economy. Once done, I loaded the carts into one of my Gansulins, a V2, and a new V1 I just got. Most of the stuff you see is either available through Peptide Critic or is the same stuff used in the videos. There is always a lesson. This week’s lesson, actually last week’s, is to recon NAD+ with 2.5ml instead of 3ml. If I use 3ml, then by the time I have dissolved both vials, the volume is more like 4ml and it won’t fit into a cartridge. There is a lot of stuff in a 500mg vial, and not just filler.
