I have Novafine coming today. I have 2 boxes of Glucacare that I was sending back, because they are 4mm instead of 6mm. Maybe I should keep them, in case of emergency.

Do you find the 6mm better? I never got into the world of pens yet. Was recently giving them a look and possibly trying them out.

I don’t know, because I haven’t used them yet! . I’m taking the word of several people on here. I did find the 5MM better than the 4mm. I have a full box of the 5mm and now the 6mm that just came in today!

@chuxpeps I absolutely love the flat tips. The ones with the nubs are kinda dumb and pointless. Just push the tip against your rat’s skin and press the button.

I know the regular ones are not a huge deal but to me it simplifies the whole thing just enough. “Is it all the way in?” Yup. Do I have to worry about holding it in place? Not really.

What exactly are flat tips?

ResearchCat

As for 4mm vs 6mm, I don’t think it makes a huge difference, but I find I prefer the 4mm, the depth is fine and I get fewer bruises and hit capillaries. It’s a very small difference.

I do find it interesting that I really don’t like the 31g 5mm, but the 32g 4/6 are great.

Thanks for the insight. In all honesty if the 4mm did work for you without any major hiccups, given everything going on I would absolutely keep them just in case. I think most of these ancillaries have a 5 year shelf life.

@Randy Is there a certain one you are looking for. I see them on Amazon right now. In particular, this one:

Keep an eye on facebook marketplace. I just paid a total of $40 for five boxes of Novofine and three boxes of BD Ultra Fine.

Awesome!

Ctrain24

@Foodstampede Yeah definitely. I had to message the seller to confirm it was for all the boxes. This might've been the first time on marketplace I didn't try to negotiate for a lower price lol.

ResearchCat

@ctrain24 that sounds like one of those times where you just want to get out the door before they realize the mistake. That is an insane deal!

ResearchCat

Just following up on this; there are definitely shenanigans afoot. The pen needles I ordered have been delayed, and the link to the product is a dead link now. But there is a different gauge and length available.

Odd stuff going on.

Is there a reason you are all only talking about novofine and glucacore and not others like easytouch? Not sure why any of these would be out of stock permanently. I feel like I’m missing something.

@ms amazon is removing all medical supplies. Youll find the remaining jabs and pen tips are listed as lab use, or similar, and say in the listing not for medical use. Novo and Gluca are branded and licensed as human medical use.

MyB

I’ll also add that you’ll still find syringes or tips (for syringe and pens) will still be listed. There’s a dozen states that limit quantity of all in one delivery devices. The seller work around is smaller quantities packaged, that’s what you’ll find listings for 10 and 50. Pen tips do not have the same restrictions as insulin syringes, unless they are licensed for human medical use.

@MyB ok wow that is crazy! I had no idea! Ugh..thanks for the informative post

Chuxpeps

@ResearchCat, thanks for the real-world feedback. Now to stock up grabs wallet

Chuxpeps

@jackie, it's how the plastic part of the tip is designed. If you look at a tip, some will have a small plastic nub that secures the needle to the threaded portion. A flat tip widens that attachment point and effectively eliminates this little nub. Here's a traditional with the nub
and a flat tip

The 32gx6mm I ordered Sunday arrived Tuesday. the two orders of 32gx4mm are still delayed. Hopefully arrive this week.

This is a clown show. The syringes and pen tips I ordered Sunday got delivered (32g/6mm) but my two orders of 32g/4mm have now been indefinitely delayed. Same brand and vendor.
