    I’ve read that pens last 18 months or 300 injections, whichever one comes first.

      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?

            Wow!! Impressive!! I feel completely inferior. The past two nights, I've loaded up cartridges, packed everything up in the super handy Peptide Critic travel pack; adding a spare syringe, but in case... then the next day, after I cant make the pen do anything, I used my spare syringe to pin the doses. Does anyone have a YouTube recommendation for how to inject with a pen?

                @ResearchCat probably a dumb question but do you have to use a new needle every time?

                Its a bad idea. I know that. But when I am in a hurry in the morning to inject into my girlfriend's big brown beaver, I will go a few times. I have never had a problem.

                BTW, the Novofine brand is by far the best and slips in easily even multiple times.. Must be the coating and/or the grind.

                    I just started with 6mm for GHK-Cu into my reasearch beast's butt. It seems to diffuse better than 4mm's - no topical welts. And I don't know why anyone would not use the slightly longer needle to certaInly get it past the skin layers.
                    The asian made ones on Amazon are pretty cheap.

                              @phiberopttic I think it was Jeff that mentioned that Xulin only make Blue pens normally, but do a run of Red for a limited time when launching a new product.

                              I also bought both colours of it straight away, cos he said they were Randy's favourite. Red one is out for delivery today.

                              I wonder if we can 3d print pen bodies. 🤣
