Needles for Gansulin

[Commander]

I know, but they are the same Servopen design and patent. One is made in china, the other is debatable if it is made in asia or middle east.

Ive taken them apart. One is not like the other. The ansupen also exists. Same cast internals as the convi.

@Randy
I have been looking for the Ansupen (I want it Because it is blue), but I can’t find any place to buy it reasonably…
I also want the black servopen, I just don’t know who sells them (What the brand name is). B
But that is a great idea taking them apart. You should have done a comparison video with them apart. I have an insane amount of both. I am going to figure out how to take these apart to compare them. Any pointers on how to take these apart?

@Commander Theres a tool you can 3d print...but be warned getting them back together is a nightmare...near impossible. I originally took them apart when we decided we were going to put an auto injector in the store. I had stacks of both and I have had a convi break after 3 carts. I have yet to see a gansulin broken but we have had complaints from people who cant follow instructions or stuff spacers in them for some reason.

Let me see what i can do on the "sample" front for the other colors. If i can source them ill hit you with a dm. Bangladesh on whatsapp is a completely different beast than China.

@randy
I have that 3d tool. I thought that was just for resetting the pen if it was locked.

[Commander]

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to take these pens apart with this tool. It looks like I have to cut them apart with a dermal to actually get inside of them. Good thing I have a bunch of these things...

@Randy said in Needles for Gansulin:

@Commander the gansulin and convipen are made in different countries by different companies. One is not like the other.

Xulins are my favorite.

@randy For the life of me I can’t find your post sharing the 3D printing of these pen holders. Can you point me in that direction? Thanks

[jackie]

I see that my Gansulin shipped today! Woo hoo!

[brandenscheidecker]

@afkar7 I need a pen holder as well

[jackie]

I have the tracking for my Gansulin, so excited, even though I am giving it to my hubby. I do his shots for him, lol. His Wolverine in his V2 will be empty tomorrow, so I will need to reconstitute and fill a pen for starting on Saturday. His Gansulin will be here sometime next week. Can I load the new cartridge in the V2 to use now and then take the cartridge out of the V2 and put it in the Gansulin when it comes? I would think it would be okay, I just don't want to miss something and mess it up or contaminate something?

[Commander]

@jackie
Yes you can the cartridge out of a different pen and use it in the Gamsulin.

Someone opened both a Convi and a Gansulin and found that they were identical down to their casting marks.

I've bought both and can't tell the difference at all.

[Commander]

@pc.envy
Yes, that was me…

[pc.envy]

@Commander Thanks for sharing that. I've switched to all Convis at this point and tossed my manual V2's aside. Tested Convis many times and they are just as accurate as my Gansulin for my needs. Love using the colored covers to differentiate.

[Commander]

@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.
