      @randy hey Randy. I see in the resources guide you recommend the 33g 4mm.

      I have tested every pen needle on the market and the 33g is the best for daily and many shots with no pain.

      I do have some 4mm that i use for doses around 10u and below and for doses 10u+ i use the 6mm.

      Let me know what you think and i can recommend a brand for you to test.

        the best needles are novofine 4mm 32g. Those are the ones that come with the ozempic pens. If you can source them they cost over a dollar each. I use 6mm for GLP or weekly research and 4mm for everything else.

          Is 33g too thin?

              @diegoc only issue with a thinner needle would be it take a sec longer to push. Maybe @randy randy can explain to us why he would use different lengths or gages.

                Theyre once weekly so i want to make sure they are really in there. 4mm should be fine for everything subq for research. I also accidentally ordered 200 of them.

                33g isnt too thin. we link them in our research tools tab because they are the thinnest and least painful for the cost. Ive done hundreds of injections with those and no issue.

                  Randy I ordered some 4mm and 6mm.

                  I like the 4mm for some injections like for local bpc, tb and kpv.

                  So the novofine 32g 6mm will feel similar to the 33g 6mm si the novofine has the superflow

                    I think whatever works best for you is probably fine. I have tried different needles and have settled on 30g 6 or 8mm. I like the 31g but anecdotally, I think maybe stabbing the vial to fill the syringe may dull the needle a bit and cause it to catch a bit when injecting. I could be off base but i find, for example, I don’t feel 31g pen needles at all as compared with 31g syringes. Fun complication: my state restricts shipping of ‘medical supplies’ so some vendors won’t send me syringes or other items without a prescription ‘for my safety’.

                    WRT GHK-Cu, yeah, I have used wolverine stack for a few months, and switching to GLOW, it definitely burns. And diluting helps.

                              RIGHT? The glucocare ones we suggest are fine but the novofine... "Its not just an injection. Its an experience"

                                I agree the glucocare and clear choice are great options but for those who want the Ferrari, well then Novofine is the one

                                      I’m assuming that these are knockoffs? The box looks completely different than most others I’ve seen.IMG_1576.jpeg

                                        no they are asian market. They arent the same as the novofine plus though.

                                          When using the V2 pen with the retractable end pin cover, Are the Novafine plus 4mm pen tips long enough ?
