I'm Hooked On Pens
-
I may or may not be addicted to these pens. They are just so darn easy and convenient to use, wherever you go.
-
Im with you. I now have 9 pens. Mix of v2 and v4
-
I wish I could say that I got them all from @randy, but this is what I have currently with the three new ones on the way.
-
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.
@Splinter I've never had a problem before. Then again, I'll leave mine in about 6-8 seconds after it stops just to make sure every drop has dispensed.

I have bought over 50 pens so fare. My favorite is the Novo 4. I have about 25 of them now. I was able to get 6 in Blue! The rest of my Gsnsulin/Convi Pens, v1, v2, v4, Xulin, etc. I gae to my friends. The Novo just feels way more solid than the rest. I also tested them because everyone says they are “off by 8%”, none of mine have been. Maybe it is the cartridges I am using, I didn’t know. But none of mine have been off by more than 1 unit at 25 units.
But everyone has a favorite pen. My suggestion is buy at least 1 Autopen and 1 manual pen and see what you like best. -
@commander Does the Novo 4 work with universal 3ml cartridges?
or did you have to modifiy? -

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?
