Can a Peptide Pen Handle Testosterone? I Tested It

[NobleONe]

@diegoc Awesome, thanks for this!

Do you leave the needle in after the pen clicks down to 0? I've been counting to 10, but not sure if that's giving me too much of a dose

29G 1/2" VG. My exact protocol for test-c in mct. Super easy, virtually painless. I do use a manual pen though, i find being able to go slow, pause in the middle, reduces any bumps or PIP. Especially if the test is mixed in with a little something extra sometimes, also in MCT.

Im pinning my test daily. Initially tried the Gansulin pen but wasn’t confident in the dosing and I didn’t take the time to test accuracy. Also wasn’t a fan of the quick auto injection. Switched to a V2 for a couple weeks and like the ability to slowly inject to prevent lumps. Currently using a Xulin pen with 29g 5/8 inch pen tips, I also take the pen and put it in a baby wipes warmer for 5-10 minutes to warm the oil. Loving it and having no issues.
What’s everyones opinion on the best quality manual injection pen? The Xulin is nice but wondering if there is something better.

[diegoc]

If your adding special sauces to your test, then i highly recommend to pin in a syringe not a pen.

Several reasons….

Im ok with mix liquids with test in the same syringe however not mixed in a pen for days.

Also when you pin test with a water base you have the water go in first. Liquid with the least resistance, then the oil travels last. So you need a syringe to empty and a pen you cant

thanks for posting this

@HockeyRat At this point I do believe that the Xulin and the V4 are my two favorites to use. The V4 is just so buttery smooth just like the Xulin.

use a 25mm PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) .22 micron filter.

I did this and it was much less pressure on the filter. Thanks.

Bump and sub! I just started self administering IM 5x/wk using insulin syringes. Doable, but am hoping a pen will work.

I take only .5ml a week, so each day is a tiny .1ml. Maybe too small for a pen.

I use a V2 with a 29G, 1/2-Inch in the lateral thigh, never have an issue. The carrier in the testc that I use is MCT so it is a little less viscous than some other carriers.

[diegoc]

@Falc its awesome you find a rhythm shooting your Test.

The more real estate rotation is better.

I didn’t even consider a pen. I suppose Mct based would flow best. Any issues with PIP? Sometimes the shallow IM can cause pip

Even backfilling syringes was discouraged if longer than 24hours in case the rubber would degrade also the open handling invites possible contamination.

Idk daily or every other day micro dosing is the way to go.

[SpaceGhost]

I’ve been doing a week’s worth in a syringe then using a new needle each day. Like this: https://youtu.be/boONIoioizM?is=IRe6uQBPI_ZFWg5N. Have a V4 on order to try with this.

My cipionate is from Walmart. Don’t know what the oil is. Penzoil? MCT would be great.

[diegoc]

What size needle?

[SpaceGhost]

I think it is 31 by 1/2 inch.

[diegoc]

I think you need to be sure….

Were are you injecting this shot?

Frequency?

Dose?

[SpaceGhost]

32x.5”. Dose is .5ml weekly, which I am currently administering in .1ml doses (10 units) five days a week. Shots are IM in quads and sometimes bicep.

[diegoc]

So your doing 100mg of Test?

In my opinion i would do EOD continuous so
MON, Wed, Fri, Sun, Tues, Thurs, Sat

Thats pretty clean…

For a 5 day split the 2 days off is pretty much the same and its very stable.

So its EVERYDAY, EOD, or 3x a week.

In that order…

Best, Very Good, Good enough

Especially if your not using any AI

[diegoc]

Like everthing… Run for 2 months, see how you feel and run blood work.

I ran Mon, Wed, Fri for 10 years and worked great

[diegoc]

You might be able to get the same results with less shots,

Another vote for the Xulin + 29g 1/2" needle. Works great.
