Pen Tips / Needles
-
@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.

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.

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.

@ResearchCat My friend in texas forwards me EZtouches every 6 months or so. It's so dumb.

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