@daemonlancaster So I bought some off of amazon a while back. I did not use it. It was for backup. After those test results form different venders came out, I threw it away. Not worth the risk in my opinion. But we all decide what risks we take...

Also...Sorry guys, I left off the decimal in the filters i was describing. Meant to say ".22 micron" or ".22um". I guess nobody noticed, but 22um and .22um are vastly different things lol.

H2S here. It was my third FDM printer, and I'll never go with anything else after this one. chef's kiss

Gansulin, darn auto correct from voice text

I use 32g 4mm pen needles with w V2 pen. Hardly feel to pinning.

@pep_researcher www.farrislabs.com. That's your best bet

It did seep out I contacted NEXAPH and they responded promptly and gave me store credit so I through the vial away. Thank you.

Thank you. There is a lot to learn. Most of the coas on tirzepatide have purity but not the endotoxins and heavy metals test - and if they do - it's too much, you might as well order from a compounding pharmacy - but we'll see I guess. Thank you for your help.

@Commander said in Have I been dosing wrong? : I actually wouldn’t use a pen for more than 25iu of anything. Even if you filled the cartridge up with 3ml, at 25iu thst is only 12 shots. Any less than that and I wouldn’t go through the hassle filling cartridges. So I would just say use a regular 100iu insulin syringe I hear that, but then again, 12 shots at that rate is 3 months worth, assuming weekly doses?

When I tested pens sometimes 5iu wouldn’t fire and on the next 5iu fire you get 10 iu (both doses). The issue doesn’t exist when firing 10iu.

@Randy So does that mean I have to fully open those vials? I think with metal crimp and rubber stopper steam won't get inside fully. Right?

Spicy ones. Thicc ones (aod, tesa 5amino). I always default to a bigger needle too. 31g

@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?

@MyB Thank you, that is exactly the information I was looking for, much appreciated!!

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.
