Hello and welcome! This has been the bests site that I have found for friendly help and great information.

@Commander That’s alright - I found it - thanks.

@TrueNorth ah. makes more sense now you put it that way.

@bjrobinson1 fine in the fridge for a year or more. Provably 5 but i dont have data on this. Anything I'm not touching for 2 years gets the medical freezer

I remember going through that line and getting all those shots on Paris Island, ouch!!

I believe Atomik Labs sells an opener for around 3 or 4 bucks.

@jackie said in Traveling with research material.: When I put my back up up and removed my ipad, I said "I have refrigerated medicine" and they told me to leave it in my backpack when I flew out. When we flew home, they had me take it out of the backpack and put it in the bin with my ipad. They didn't ask what was in it or even look at it Yeah have read from many others on other forums too that TSA doesn't give a fk about your meds in the cabin bag. Maybe they are researching them too and understand. LOL

@afkar7 I wasn't able to locate it on Underground supply site because they don't show their entire catalog unless you are logged in, like most pep vendor sites. I got confused by not finding it on Underground supply without logging in.

@Commander said in Desiccant canister: Here is a link to one of his listings https://ebay.us/m/YSKzu1 Can't wait for my Bambu to get delivered. Another project to add to the list.

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.
