    @Commander Novopen4 is the best . How do u get cartridges or do you clean and refill the penfill cartridges ? I tried the 3d printed option for the novo4 but the normal 3ml cartridge gets stuck due to the sleeker cartridge receiver?

    Have you been able to successfully modify the Novo4?

    I use the normal 3ml cartridge we use for all the other pens.
    If you use the stock cartridge holder you have to modify it. Or you could just get a NP adapter from Max Headroom and you don’t have to modify anything. Make sure you get the newest adapter from the link below.

      @Splinter 100%. This happens every time with my Xulins, even if I bring the temp up and leave it in my subject for a full minute.

        For what it’s worth, the Gluco-Care Plus are my favorite pen needles to use. There are some others I want to try, like the Sensifine Plus, TonmiCare Plus, but I think I have enough for right now.

            I recently ordered the Xulin 3 and V4. Bought a "V2" on Amazon which turned out to be an V1. Seems nice enough though. I'm curious to compare the three. I may have an addiction before I even use one.

              I am now using Max Headroom’s newest adapters for my Novo 4. They work perfectly, no spacers needed at all…

                      Yes Daro has Max’s adapters. I bought a couple from him… but waiting a couple more days for Max to open back up is not really a big deal… 2 days…

                        What actually constitutes a pen as a V1 or V2? Is it the mechanism, the cap, or something else. I bought a pen from Amazon where the description was a V2. It's 60 units and came with a regular cap (no open springy thing), and clear cartridge holder with regular numbered markings (no blue bubbled numbers). I just bought a Xulin and V4 from the shop here, so I can't really compare it to those. Only to say the Amazon one is just as accurate as these.

                          I wouldn’t really consider anything bought on Amazon, eBay or Etsy and actual v1, v2, v3, etc… They just put whatever up and call it whatever. I think Jeff (Randy) has a few videos showing the differences in the real v1, v2, v4, etc… Not sure where they are. But I know he made them

                            @Commander I got duped by an Amazon pen because I wanted it fast it was called a V2. I never used it and returned it. It wasn't even close to accurate when i tested it. 10m was 6. This was before watching Jeff's video, which are a good send that and your posts.

                              Amazon also has a lot of fake stuff on there. I bought a Yeti tumbler on Amazon once. Then watched a video on fafe Yeti tumblers… Yep mine from Amazon was fake. Just buy from a vendor that is reputable. I think they sell v1 on here still. I bought one, it was nice. Then I went over to the Novo 4 dark side and will never come back….

                                @Commander I've seen the videos. They're great! But the Amazon pen I received seems to be an amalgamation. It essentially seems like a V2 but without the needle hiding spring.

                                  @Stevepep I too was impatient and ordered the Amazon one to get it fast while waiting on my order from Peptide Critic. I may have gotten lucky because mine is just as accurate as the one I received from here.

                                    It is a crap shoot when ordering from places like Amazon and eBay.. maybe you get lucky, maybe you don’t.
                                    I personally would just buy it from someone reputable for a couple dollars more, but that is me.

                                      Wow, you guys really know your stuff! Anyone know where I can buy the disposable Lilly Kwikpens? I have only found 1 source, on AliExpress and they want too much $$$ and it’s not the new version with longer plunger.

                                        I have like 25 Novo 4 pens. But I am curious to the size difference between the Novo 4, 5, 6 and Echo. So looks like I am going to have to buy one of each…

                                          @josephbrown said in I'm Hooked On Pens:

                                          @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 Im doing injections twice per week in the glutes mainly. sometimes thigh to mix it up. no idea what is sub q or Im is. always confuses me. im thinking of doing it 3 x per week instead so a pen would make life much easier. which pen do you use? any info on which one exactly and supplies for it is appreciated.
