First time using Gansulin Pen
-
I bought a V2 two weeks ago and I am hooked now! I want a Gansulin, lol, but the other ones only pin a few times a week and I will be cycling off soon. The only one I take daily is GHK-cu and I have heard that the Gansulin releases the peptide faster, so it might not be ideal for that. So, until I decide to research another peptide, I probably won't buy one.
@jackiew If your dilution of the GHK-Cu is great enough, the Gansulin works perfectly. For example, when I'm researching with a 50mg vial, I'll use 3mL's of BAC just to get is reconstituted. Then in a new sterile 10mL or 15mL vial, I'll add 7mL or 10mL's then transfer over the reconstituted GHK to make a total of either 10mL's or 13mL's. Then transfer all that into my pen cartridges. With that much dilution, you won't feel a thing using the Gansulin pen.

For the Gansulin pen, does it use the same 3ML vial that is on sale on the site? Or do I have to buy a different kind of vial?
@iMemphis It uses the same 3mL vial like all the other pens.

@mrjoshua44 This might be a dumb question, but doesn't that make a pretty big injection? Does that much fluid welt a bit under the skin?

@jackiewatson Nope, not at all. I'm researching with 2.5mg daily. That comes out to 41 units when I reconstituted with 10mL's of BAC. I get no reaction or soreness from it.

@mrjoshua44 Good to know!

@mrjoshua44 I think it depends on what you are researching. I had the same intuition, that a larger injection would hurt more or be uncomfortable, but it really depends on what you’re researching, and my cat only has discomfort with limited peptides. Currently researching 40 units (10mg) SS-31 per day with occasional ISR but mostly not. Switching to pens and thinner, shorter needles has reduced issues a lot. I might get a bump for a little while, but mostly not. Glow and sometimes CJC still win for irritation, which is funny because they are the lowest volume doses.
I do think using the gansulin pen for larger shots helps a lot because I am not trying to pinch, hold, and depress a plunger all at once.

Once you have auto pens you can’t go back. I now have 3 Gansulin pens and 6 Gensupen 2. I like the Gensupen 2 better, it has a little green dot that appears when the plunger stops moving at the targeted amount. Like a “finished” indicator. Unfortunately you really can’t get those pens over here in the USA, I had to get them from Poland. Maybe Jeff will start to carry them here in the store

Hi Everyone. I'm glad we have a community here. I have questions about the Gansulin Auto Injector Research Pen versus the more inexpensive V3 pens I just bought (but have not yet used). The Gansulin is significantly more expensive presumably for a reason. Is it because it is more precise at micro-dosing or for some other reason? When injecting micro doses, such as 0.03ml (i.e., 3U) are any of these pens that precise at that low of a dose or should I just manually inject that?

With regular pens, you have to press the plunger manually to dispense the product. Auto-injectors are spring-loaded, so you press and hold the button and the pen smoothly dispenses the product. I think they are both accurate.
The problem that you describe is, imo, a separate problem. You are trying to dispense an amount that is barely greater than the margin for error. If you are injecting 3 units, and you lose .5-1 unit to inaccuracy in measurement or something else, and then you lose a little more due to dripping or failure to inject completely, you could lose a substantial amount of the product.
If I inject 200mcg in 3 units and lose 1 unit, I am losing 66.6 mcg of the stuff. If I am injecting 200 mcg in 10 units and lose 1 unit, I am only losing 20 mcg. It might make sense to dilute you peptide to make it easier to get accurate and consistent measures.
