I'm Hooked On Pens

Do yalls Gansulins emit a few extra small drops of compound after the needle is pulled out but still screwed in? Both of my gansulins are doing that. Going to look for a way to calibrate it maybe.

I don't think it is the mechanics of the pen. I posted about how bubbles which coalesce in the vial slowly keep expanding even after the push is done. Just leave the needle inside your research beast for 10 more seconds after the push.
I have found that more careful filling (metering in slowly onto the side of the vial) has greatly reduced the amount of micro bubbles you see clinging to the glass. I waste less research juice now since I do not have to purge air three times.

Thanks for the tips.
You don’t think it’s temperature expansion, coming out of the fridge?
Why would air be expanding, regardless if it coalescences into one big bubble?

@Stones67 Im also curious where to find them.
So you can buy them from Max Headroom on TG. His channel there is Big-Time Broadcasts.
He sells them with his special adapter. And also give you the stick adapter if you want to modify it and use it that way. They use the standard 3ml carts we all use. With his newest adapter, you don’t need any spacers or anything, it just works how you get them. Note- they only have silver ones, I had to buy Blue ones in Canada, but I have 25 or more Novo 4s… -

Gas in the vial compresses when you press the pen. When you release, and think all is injected into your cute and cuddly research subject, the bubble(s) are still compressed like a spring. Viscosity through the micro orifice of the needle throttles the speed at which the bubble(s) can expand until vial pressure reaches atmospheric pressure. I have seen 10 seconds is enough.
You can witness this if you watch a little bubble in the plunger end of the vial while you inject your happy little research participant. It shrinks instantly and expands slowly after the push.

i cannot recall the pen that had the spring actuated thingymabob, bird-something or other

will pens work for Testosterone Cypionate?
-
Question when your loading the 3ml vial for the pens with 13mm filter, Randy and Jeff there is roughly 10 unit left in the filter. Wouldn't a bubble at the end of injecting syringe just push 10 units thru? Or would it be a good idea to load say 9 or 10 units of BAC to push the peptide x that is in the filter thru?

@RussBechthold I have been using a pen for Test Cyp for about 2 months now. It works with a 29g pen needles. Also if you make sure your test is in a thinner oil like MCT that helps also.

What length? Are you doing the Test Sub Q or IM?

@Commander Ive also been using a pen for subQ T for a couple months now. 29g 10mm tips and I put the pen in a baby wipe warmer for about 5 minutes to warm the oil. Work like a charm.

@Commander 1/2 . subq except when I pin in my shoulders. Then I can feel that slightly different feeling of entering muscle.

@Commander Nope, not at all.

How many iu are you doing at once?
-
@drummnl Great question and the answer is yes. Always, always, always use an alcohol prep pad to wipe down the tip of the pin, making sure you get good coverage on the butyl rubber stopper. I will usually kinda roll up the alcohol pad and push it and rub it down in there. And always use a new pen needle, and never keep a needle screwed on to the pen.

@Commander I was originally doing 2x per week 60mg which was 30 units. Im now doing 20mg per day which is 10 units for a total of 120mg per week.
