@Randy Holding down the button worked perfect this morning, that was definitely my issue!
I do put the pen in a baby wipe warmer on medium heat overnight which I think helps with the flow (29 gauge). But my primary reason for using the wipe warmer is it eliminated the subQ lumps I was getting when injecting cold.
@ResearchCat Haha nope I wasn't holding it down. Will give that a try next time!
I picked up a Gansulin auto pen and tried using it for my TRT this morning. I had to press the button a few times to get it to deliver the full dose. Not a huge deal, and better than having to press the plunger manually. I think it's just slightly too much resistence and so the pen stops on its own.
For example, I wound it up to 30 units and clicked the button and it went from 30 to 22. Then I clicked it again and it went down to 10ish. Then another click and it went to 0.

@diesel dm me. i may have a lab in the states that can answer this question for everyone without you paying a dime.
PM sent!
I've been using a v2 pen with a 29 gauge .5" pen needle and it works great for my TRT. Nearly the same speed as a peptide through a 33 gauge.
That said, my test C is in GSO oil which is relatively thin and I warm my pen in a baby wipe warmer the night before a shot. If you use cottonseed oil at room temp it might be more challenging. YMMV
Edit to add: There are some potential concerns around degrading rubber pistons from contact with the oil. I can't visually see any evidence of this happening in my cartridge, but something to be aware of. I'm contemplating leaving a little oil in my cartridge when I'm done with it, and sending a sample to Jano after a few months of it sitting.
