Cheap Amazon Finds

@stan-douglas feel free to set up a new topic of Temu finds. I made this topic to post the deals and new products I run across so I’m no longer posting in @researchcat swag topic.

Today I tested this Nest NIVR-5 pen for a review. Does up to 80 units like a V1 but is the size of a V2.
Why I’m sharing is because unlike V pens this was accurate at low doses. 1iu is the only time I’d sometimes get nothing then 2iu on the next push. I tested the 5iu and down doses by pushing into a 1/3 ml syringe so I could really see how good it was at the smaller doses.
No amazing deal $40 with a case, like most V pens on Big A.

What I am doing lately is testing dosages on pens by just keeping a pen vial with Bac in it and shooting it in a syringe between reconstitutions. The V4, V2, and Xulin are very accurate. I still need to test the Gansolin. I haven't messed with that one in a while as it was very finnicky, but it was, I think, user error as now that I have read @randy's recommendations on gauge size, I was using too small of a pen syringe. Should have paid attention when I ordered it.

I’m in the Amazon review program called V I N E. (Had to put spaces because it’s against TOS to tell anyone publicly). I often see things when they are new and discounted to encourage sales. Anyway, I thought I’d make this topic to post my finds instead of putting them in the swag topic I usually do.
These insulated storage containers are $9.99. Usually they run $15-$20.

@meatsmoke hydrapeak is a true vacuum insulated chamber. You can’t go wrong them. There’s tray inserts that come with an ice pack instead of the shallow tray. If I was spending money I’d go w/ them and a hydrapeak.

MediVena, seller on Amazon of gluco-care and one-care, has new listings for flat top pen tips for $8.87-$8.89. They are listed under odd categories like visually impaired writing aids to get around state restrictions. 31g and 32g, 4mm-8mm.
If you click the seller details and at the bottom click “see all products”, the majority are on the last page.

@MyB
beware purchasing these: I purchased 5 of these. Performed a test to verify air tight seal for freezer storage,
I removed the foam insert do not use for the test, , placed 2pcs 2 gram dry/dry desiccant packets into the containers, (all 5 of them) then placed a dry/dry Humidity indicator strip inside, 1 week later. I removed from the freezer, let settle to room temperature, open the lids, and the HIC sticks were pink all the way to 60%.
I tested 2 containers again, same test , same results,
I submitted pictures along with all my documentation to Amazon on the through test. I returned them -

For those of you who purchased this (or I guess even those who didn't purchase), what are your thoughts on the sponge that came with it to protect the top vials? Do you think it will retain moisture, even with silica packs?

@nwagner70 i have some of these vessels that have been in my freezer storage since February. I got into one last week and my color desiccants were still yellow. I opened and closed the vessel while still in the chest freezer, so the hot humid air was not able to get inside. My experience has not matched yours.

Same here. I have had to go into mine. Packets were fine. Replaced them anyway before I put it back in.

unnecessary if you have large quantity. get mylar bags and a pack of dessecant packs. label the bags and stack them. peps will be good for 12yrs
