Pen Tips / Needles
-
Theyre once weekly so i want to make sure they are really in there. 4mm should be fine for everything subq for research. I also accidentally ordered 200 of them.
33g isnt too thin. we link them in our research tools tab because they are the thinnest and least painful for the cost. Ive done hundreds of injections with those and no issue.

I think whatever works best for you is probably fine. I have tried different needles and have settled on 30g 6 or 8mm. I like the 31g but anecdotally, I think maybe stabbing the vial to fill the syringe may dull the needle a bit and cause it to catch a bit when injecting. I could be off base but i find, for example, I don’t feel 31g pen needles at all as compared with 31g syringes. Fun complication: my state restricts shipping of ‘medical supplies’ so some vendors won’t send me syringes or other items without a prescription ‘for my safety’.
WRT GHK-Cu, yeah, I have used wolverine stack for a few months, and switching to GLOW, it definitely burns. And diluting helps.
Yeah, well, I’m just here for the research, man. - The Dude
If I haven’t liked your post, no offense. I have exceeded my daily allowance.

@ResearchCat My friend in texas forwards me EZtouches every 6 months or so. It's so dumb.

I’m assuming that these are knockoffs? The box looks completely different than most others I’ve seen.

I just checked...wasted a needle. Yes it works. I forget about that "feature" on the v2. I've never actually used it.

I recently got a box of 500 "PIC insupen 34g 3.5mm" and they are probably the smallest needles on the market; you don't even know that it went in, and they never cause bruises!
