Pen vs syringe in the office.
-
You really can't go wrong with your first. I'm embarrassed to admit I now have a dozen of them in various stages of use and only one has given me trouble. I must have viewed the Gansulin on here 50 times just haven't pulled the trigger. The 2 Xulins seem the most refined- by just a bit.
-
I have several of the V2s. Not sure about life span, but I sure do like them.
-
I’ve read that pens last 18 months or 300 injections, whichever one comes first.

I have a bunch of pens I use daily, including V1’s, V2’s, and V3’s. I like the V2’s best but they are all about the same to me. The Gansulin is my favorite, and the Xulin pen is good.
No idea how long they last, but the QoL improvement and cost relative to syringes probably makes the break even less than a year and they will probably last much longer than that.
@ResearchCat probably a dumb question but do you have to use a new needle every time?

Yes! You don’t want to risk infection -
Yep. I go through about a box a month. sometimes more.

How would an unused pen go bad?
And even a pen in use, I'd have to imagine would last for at least 5+ years (and thousands of injects) before the parts would start to break down

@ResearchCat ok thanks. Is 31 gauge 3/16 inch 5mm a good size?
-
Yeah, apologies for being long winded. Basically my question is does a syringe, filled with peptides, travel well? Or dont bother and invest in a pen?
@phiberopttic PENS!!
