Noob question about pens.

[jimjatho]

So I have never done any peptides and am slowly but surely taking my steps toward Retatrutide. I don’t plan on even starting for a few more weeks as I ask the questions and make sure I’m doing this right. I bought a V4 pen and the Novofine tips. My dumb question is, do you leave the tip in the pen for an entire batch and just use alcohol prep pads on the needle each time, or discard each tip after use?

Always discard your needle tip after a single use. Never leave the tip attached to the pen between injections, and do not attempt to wipe the needle with an alcohol swab.

@uxu Awesome, thank you for the straightforward answer without being condescending to someone new at this. I appreciate it!

Tons of great info here that is helping me get started as well. Do yourself a huge favor and spend some time, if you havent already, here: https://peptidecritic.com/tutorials

Very useful "How-to" videos that answer alot, most, of the questions us newer folks have.

Well those videos all got deleted quickly

Wow, That must have just happened in the past few days, as they were there last weekend. It looks like the whole channel was taken down. One of the challenges in this space is that if it looks like you are recommending people use peptides on themselves, they will kill your entire channel.

It’s really too bad, because the videos were very informative about safe use and handling of peptides for research.
