Supplies, Mixing & Storage

Will be doing this when my pens come in..

@Splinter said in Pulling more than one compound into a syringe: @Neil-McCauley Just picked up two gansulins, hoping virgin needles will be more gentle.. They'll always be superior, its one of the advantages of using a pen, fresh needle. I can tell a difference myself, when I get to the end of a bottle, often I will just pop the vial cap off (I have pliers specifically made to do this) and insert syringe directly into peptide and pre load last 2-3 dosages to empty the vial out, not going through rubber stopper. Those fresh ones I can tell never give my rat any issues, always clean injects, no bruising

Based on my experience, it is probably fine to 3 months if you keep it refrigerated. There might be some loss of potency at the end. Titration for tirz is usually to start at 2.5mg/week and increase by 2.5mg every month to a max dose of 15mg/week. I am in a pickle bc I have a kit of 60mg vials but only take 3mg/week. As always, your own sensibilities, experience, and comfort level drives what you are willing to research. If something looks funny or makes you feel funny, stop using it.

The pen needle might be too short to work with that pen. I don’t bother with the caps, personally.

also on the subject of a group buy I'm all for it. Ive just seen them go sideways. If you all band together to do one i ask that its done offsite in telegram, discord or somewhere like that. Actually running that on here would open us up to legal eagles. Linking here is totally fine and I'd join in...for the culture.

@kenhnsy - AOD is notoriously tricky to reconstitute. Apparently it gels up for a lot of people. Cloudiness is a potential indicator that there is some sort of problem with the peptide (contamination etc...) as most Peptides should reconstitute completely clear.

I'm using this drawer unit for my pens. Scaled the width and height down a bit. https://makerworld.com/models/482396?appSharePlatform=copy https://makerworld.com/models/2404553?appSharePlatform=copy [image: 1777744097939-20260430_192045-resized.jpg] [image: 1777744098511-20260502_134122-resized.jpg] [image: 1777744099046-20260502_134157-resized.jpg]

I looked at one similar to that on Amazon and now I can’t find it. It had really good reviews. I’ll keep searching.

@emcharles said in Cartridge Question: When filtering, does anyone filter directly in to a pen cartridge? Is it better to filter to a regular vial and then to the pen cartridge? Does it matter? I filter directly to my pen cartridge.

I take my pen out for about 10 minutes before I use it. I will say, for GHK-cu which can sting, the 5mm needle stings less than the 4mm needle. I have a box of 6mm, but I haven't opened them yet.

@Foodstampede Thank you!

@jamiekortan said in Making your own BAC water?: @quicksilver80 it’s the same as reconstituting your peptides. You measure out the liquid and mix in a sterile vial. Correct

@anthony when you reconned was it clear, not cloudy? I'm guessing it's probably ok but I'm no expert. good that it had normal vacuum.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6XWXDKV?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4&th=1 This is what I use for loading pens; I use a 31g 1” version for venting. They will both work fine with filters. (I use the 1.5” to get to the bottom of the vial so I don’t lose anything, since I am not as good as some people draining an inverted vial.)

I bought three peps off peptidecrafters and just got bac water in today. So reconstituted all three just now. On two of the three vials I had to push the back water in and it was like it didn't wanna go in if that makes sense. The third a klow vial pulled the 3 ml right in. Should I be concerned about the first two? They all are clear from what I can tell. They came in amber glass so a bit harder to see in.

Smart, lol If I wasn't half asleep, I probably would have noticed it! LOL

I picked up the Amber ones, Thanks for sharing the link @ctrain24

I just ordered a box of 32g 6mm, too!
