Poll: What's your favorite peptide pen?
-
I will preface this by stating the pens that I've purchased and tried. V1, V2, V3.5, V4, plastic disposable, HumaPen Savvio, Xulin, Convipen, and Gansolin.
I'm going with the Gansolin as my choice for the poll right now only because auto-injectors are a new fad to me. Auto injectors are pricy and may not be for everyone. There are certainly other, more cost efficient, options. If I were choosing mainly from the manual pens, I would say the V4. I haven't tried the V3Ultra or Plastique yet so keep that in mind. Yes, the Xulin may be nicer, but to me the juice is not worth the squeeze. I will admit that my (one) Xulin is my dedicated Tirz pen so it's only used once a week. I may have to move to a daily driver in order to re-evaluate. Best bang for the buck right now? The V4. But the Gansolin is getting my vote here. Feels well built, accurate (even at low units), easy to use, and so far no issues. Next week my opinion may change.

I like the Gansulin best, but it's a slim lead over the V4. I like the weight of both of them which gives the edge over the V3 Ultra. Not as big of a fan of the Xulin. Looking forward to receiving my Plastique.

Convipens and V1's. Savvio is nice as well. I have 2 of those.

@mrjoshua44 Gansolin if money isn't a factor is the GOAT. I had issues using higher guage needles anything above 30ish can create some issues in my experience
@Stevepep Yeah, when I got my first one, had a little bit of trial and error to figure out what it likes. I also found that it could also depend on how concentrated your solution is, coupled with a small gauge needle would cause it not to push. Definitely a slight learning curve with the Gansulin, but I love it!

If I had to stick with just 1 pen forever it will always be the Gansulin. I have 8 of them but I am also using a V4 and a v3.5 ultra from Randy as I have 10 peps going right now. My vote is v3.5 ultra as the runner up and what I would be buying if I didn't go all in on the Gansulin from the beginning.

Xulin for me, build and solid feel. V4 for the lady rat for its smoother delivery and easier to press.

@JtCjEfF One thing I do love about the Xulin is the case it it comes with. I've been trying to find something similar to them to no avail. There are some DIAVY German ABS cases but they do not have space for a cartridge like the Ganlee GT case the Xulin comes on.

@Randy Dang it Randy!! Can I just start a tab?

V1 and the Humapen Ergo 2. The Allstars are probably right behind, though. Like the action and weight of the V1s. Love the feel of the Ergo 2 but I foresee the rubberized part getting gummy from alcohol wipes over time. The Allstar just works well and is no frills. I like the basics.

I like my V2’s best because they are the smoothest running pens I have. The Xulin’s have been a disappointment because they are hard to press and seem to stick. The Gansulin would be an easy #1, but they’ve been a bit inconsistent in dispensing and one of them stuck, which i know is likely a cartridge issue, but still.
I need to do more testing, but hey, I can only puncture my lab-mates so many times a day. Plastiques arrive tomorrow and I will be giving a couple away so hopefully I’ll have more feedback soon.
I WANT PURPLE! (Flames also okay.)

@ResearchCat same on the Zulins I have 3 of them and stopped using them. I was not a fan of the Gansolin at 1st but it was user error. You can’t use a gauge higher than 30. It’s the goat imo but pricey.
-
I like the thinness of the v1 disposable pens you sent me the best. I wish there was a solid pen thst was thin like the Novo 4 pen, that would be the ultimate pen. I love my Novo 4 pens the best, but the adapters are a pain in the ass. Hopefully soon the one I am designing will be done.
But we need a slim, solid metal pen… -

In my opinion, the Convipen's are great alternative to the Gansulin. Exact same function and almost the same quality but less expensive.
I just learned about the 30 gauge needles. I had not had any issues before with 31 gauge, but I will be switching to 30 anyway to avoid potential problems.
