    I am doing the same thing by using a V4 pen with my TRT. I was tired of backfilling insulin syringes and making a mess. I’m using a 29g x 1/2” from TRUEplus (Amazon). I tested it similarly to what you described although you were much more thorough. I loaded a syringe a couple of times and it looked accurate enough for me. I’ve been doing it that way for about a month now.

    I pen 17u every other day for an average of 120mg per week. Just had my labs done and everything looked good as far as my doctor was concerned. I haven’t noticed any changes in how I feel, gym performance or libido.

    This is just my experience. I’m by no means an expert in any of this but wanted to let you know you’re not alone in this experiment. It works for me.

      Where are you injecting a 1/2 inch needle to get it intramuscular? Deltoid?

        @Nuncles not me… I’m doing subQ in the stomach area.

          I was doing this successfully with a 1/2 inch needle when I did the daily schedule. No problems. I also put it through a .22 13mm filter. It takes patience. But it goes. The trick is patience due to the high viscosity.

            @Nuncles You can also inject trt SubQ.

                @judgetoo Thanks for sharing this! Have you tried an auto-injector by chance? After I do a few more months with my current setup, I'll likely try out test with a V4.

                  @Nuncles I poked IM for maybe a year or so because I was taught that was the only way for it to be effective. I made the change to subcu and have been doing that for years. Labs have been consistent (I run them every 90 days because I'm a freak). For me switching to subq was a HUGE QOL improvement. I rotate injection sites on my thighs

                    Appreciate the info. It may be time to look into other options. I too thought that IM was the best route to take.

                      I would also like to use a V4 and test it subq. I've always had mine administered in the caboose. I guess my wife could help with that there but I don't want to bother her with doing that.

                        @judgetoo Great info! Thanks for sharing! When Noble and I ran these accuracy tests we held the needle for 10 seconds to ensure the best accurate dose due to the viscosity of T. Question I have is how long you kept the needle inside before removing from the skin?

                          @Cheeto I leave it in for several seconds as well. Don’t want to miss a tiny drop of that sweet stuff.

                            @NobleONe I haven’t tried anything other than the V4. Sorry.

                              Mine is all USP prescription stuff. But I found particles in a vial which had to come from the puncture cap. So filtering can only be a good thing for all injectables.

                                I use a V1 for my T-c. The spring in it seems stronger than the v1.5, v2, and v3 that I have.

                                  @kenhnsy That's cool! I'm all about filtering, but if I were you, and you're going to filter your trt, I would use a 25mm PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) .22 micron filter. It's considered the best choice for oil-based solutions like trt.

                                    @MyB When using a manual pen, I can assume I should go slow when pushing?

                                      I don’t go as fast as I can but I don’t go slow either. Once the plunger stops moving I count to 10 and remove.
                                      Slow with thick substances can lead to inaccurate dosing.
                                      Guess it really depends on the iu’s you’re pushing.

                                        Im currently using a xulin pen for test-cip at 14iu per day of 200mg/ml Sub-q. I use 30ga gluco-care needles and I have to let the needle stay in my belly for 30-40 seconds or so to make sure I dont leave pressure in the vial and an inaccurate does in my belly. I'm a fan of injecting daily.

                                          Are you using an aromatase inhibitor? I've done both schedules and still feel high estradiol. DIM helps. The gurus conflict on this topic.
