Can a Peptide Pen Handle Testosterone? I Tested It

[mrjoshua44]

@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.

@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.

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,

[derekg1]

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

[diegoc]

@SpaceGhost hey buddy i just realized you posted your test question in a thread that has to do with the Pen and Test.

Just so everyone is clear, your doing this in a syringe not a pen.

There are no pen needles 1/2” by 31-32

[NobleONe]

@SpaceGhost I switched to MCT just to get better viscosity for pen use. I still have to run labs to confirm numbers remain the same even though I switched from syringes to pens. In terms of user experience, I prefer pens much better than using syringes. I think this would apply to you even more since you're poking at a higher frequency. I poke EOD (M/W/F).

You likely will not be able to use a 32g though or you'll be sitting there forever just trying to push the T through. Based on this thread it seems like most people are using 29g for T (so am I). I do admittedly use 32g for all peps.

[SpaceGhost]

I use the 32g on an insulin needle. I have some 29g pen tips on order for when I get my new pen. I use 32g pen tips for peps as well.

[diegoc]

@SpaceGhost its a 32g but the longest is 8mm so your doimg Subq not IM with a .5” or 12mm

[SpaceGhost]

I’m going directly into quad or bicep muscle.
I would like to try subs for T. Maybe after my next labs.
