Thanks, for that price it's worth checking out.

Anything that’s polished and silicone lubricated. The ones that drag and pull the skin on the way out are what I end up with bruises on. I liked EZ Touch until they went to crapolla post covid. I liked BD Ultra Fine but they stopped shipping to my state. My fallback is 31g 8mm UltiCare VetRx.

Looks like we all agree on the 5/16 or 8mm, 30-31 gauge.
I'm a big fan of the .3cc.
Huge price jump for the Clever Choice Comfort EZ in that size. -
Gluco-care 33g+ from Amazon, although these days I've gotten so used to needles that pm anything 30g+ seem to do the trick. Even the cheap aliexpress ones.
Depending on injection site, prefer 4mm if using a syringe and 4-6mm if using a pen.
Pens seem to leak more after removing from skin tho so sticking to syringes looks like the way to go -

What is the philosophy/consensus around syringes lengths, and when to use shorter vs longer needle? Would you choose a different length depending on the amount of units you are injecting, say a small 15 units, vs a larger 35-40 units?
I recently picked up some 4mm needles and have been enjoying them, but did get a large bruise in the lower stomach after one injection of MOTS-C, 20 units if I recall.

@afkar7 Yes, often even more than that. Drives me crazy.

Agreed. I asked because I thought I was doing something wrong. I do love the autopens though.

I did just see the needleless injections tho online. Idk how good they are tho. Has anyone tried them out?

I had that needless injector years ago. It is a pain. You have to buy special cartridges and loading needles. It gets expensive quick. It basically shot the stuff sub-Q through force. I used it for MT2 back in the day. Used it for about 2 weeks than threw everything a way

Hello ! I'm an old lady (70) trying to get rat in shape. A complete newbie at this and have to learn DIY; never reconstituted a thing in my life; be kind to me. Avoiding pens and other automatics for now bc I don't know anything about them. Sent 29G Sure Comfort w/NAD+ which seems too small, IDK. Have the 31G EZ Touch sent w/Tirzep and they're great, but am going to try Clever Choice 30 because of price. Wish me well and TY all for the great info & to PC for this wonderful site!!!
