@ResearchCat not a fan of of the gansulin too finicky and they inject to fast imo. V4 is my favorite even over the xulin
-
@EXTROPIAN I find the mechanism better on V4, it's smoother and sturdier, but I still use the V2's on occasion. I actually travel with my V2's, so if they get confiscated, I will feel a little better about it. I don't think it's worth the upgrade though, to be honest with you.
-
@Stevepep What would be the difference between the v4 vs the V2. Worth the upgrade?
Just had both delivered. Tried both and completely agree. The V4 has a better and smoother feel. Also the V4 hides the needle which is interesting.

I just got my first V4s and I can't inject with the concealable cap on. Same needles as I've been using with my V2 for months. Here's the link to needles I bought 3 months ago. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSTYW1TP?th=1 Is there a trick I'm not aware of? The springy cap is hitting something and not allowing the needle to protrude fully. Only 1-2mm or so and on an angle. Any ideas? Quite disappointed with the 1st experience, I must say.

I started using V4s this week and have had an issue myself. Not that the cap doesn't depress but not getting depth with the needle length. I bought 4mm. I've just been taking that cap off to expose the whole tip. Don't want to waste what I have but would buy longer tips in the future.

@genel they don't work with the gluco care PLUS that fat flat base. It stops the spring from fully depressing.

@Nuncles Do you use it with the cap on? I find that to be pain so never use it. I just leave the cap off

Agreed. Mine are 6mm, but spring-cover was hitting the outer edge of the needle housing. Got different box of needles. This https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GFW5DFY4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title seems to be a good fit.

@unknown1 Sincere link. Not trying to be a smartass. I had to look it up myself.

I think the spring loaded cap isn’t supposed to be just about visually concealing the needle from people that or “scared” of them or even just as a safety thing so you don’t accidentally poke yourself before injecting - the theory is something along the lines of when you use them the cap touches your skin 1st and “tricks” your body sort of so that it doesn’t feel the actual needle puncture your skin.
More of a psychological thing I think.Me personally I’ve got a few V2’s but have never used them with the caps on - find them annoying and avoid pens with that feature nowadays- if a pen needle hurts you I think there is something else going on that needs looking into more than those stupid caps.

@STATIEEIGHT I don’t know if it is a fixation or an obsession or something else, but I feel compelled to watch as I slowly push the needle into the skin.

Hahaha - I’m the same - but then again I’ve also had operations under local rather than general just so I can go home earlier and am known as “the one that went local” at my local hospital

Surgeons have really boring conversations when they’re chopping you up. -

@ResearchCat I always hated the thought of needles in my body until this year, now I'm just like you...I watch closely as the needle breaks the skin...I'm almost fascinated by it.
