Cheap Amazon Finds
-
For those of you who purchased this (or I guess even those who didn't purchase), what are your thoughts on the sponge that came with it to protect the top vials? Do you think it will retain moisture, even with silica packs?

Good question. I didn't even think about that. Just loaded mine in when I got it. Now that I think about it I would doubt it. Its seems like highly porous foam.

I’m in the Amazon review program called V I N E. (Had to put spaces because it’s against TOS to tell anyone publicly). I often see things when they are new and discounted to encourage sales. Anyway, I thought I’d make this topic to post my finds instead of putting them in the swag topic I usually do.
These insulated storage containers are $9.99. Usually they run $15-$20.

@bronze41 Write reviews on Amazon for your purchases. Most are invited because they have reviews with lots of helpful votes. There a few rare one that they had never wrote a review.
The items you request to review, you have to claim the asking price as income on your taxes. Amazon sends a 1099. Lots of people end up owing thousands their first year because they thought the shit was free.
Lots of people miss their invite, if you go here and sign in using your Amazon sign in information and it lets you in you were previously invited and just missed the email. https://www.amazon.com/vine -

@djoelcassell i buy multiple kits at a time. They get put in these for holding til test results are received. They get labeled and transfer to the freezer for long term storage. If you store in a frostless freezer these are needed to protect your vials from the temperature change from when the self defrost cycle runs. You always store these with desiccant packets because moisture is the enemy. No zip up soft case keeps out moisture.
@MyB Thank you for that information! Super helpful!

@MyB what else have you found through this program?
@travisboone if you search the word “swag” you’ll find research cat’s topic that I use to post under.
Lately I’ve picked up these amber pen vials. They still have a 20% coupon since they’re a new item.

Follows research backed science, not “trust me” bro’s.

These fit in V4 pens?

Today I tested this Nest NIVR-5 pen for a review. Does up to 80 units like a V1 but is the size of a V2.
Why I’m sharing is because unlike V pens this was accurate at low doses. 1iu is the only time I’d sometimes get nothing then 2iu on the next push. I tested the 5iu and down doses by pushing into a 1/3 ml syringe so I could really see how good it was at the smaller doses.
No amazing deal $40 with a case, like most V pens on Big A.

No Temu finds?
I have this case being delivered for peps water I store out of the fridge. -
@stan-douglas feel free to set up a new topic of Temu finds. I made this topic to post the deals and new products I run across so I’m no longer posting in @researchcat swag topic.

What I am doing lately is testing dosages on pens by just keeping a pen vial with Bac in it and shooting it in a syringe between reconstitutions. The V4, V2, and Xulin are very accurate. I still need to test the Gansolin. I haven't messed with that one in a while as it was very finnicky, but it was, I think, user error as now that I have read @randy's recommendations on gauge size, I was using too small of a pen syringe. Should have paid attention when I ordered it.
