@WesEqualshXc lol, was thinking of doing this, too! I'm wondering how nasty my ordinary insulin needle would become if I just did a couple of draws directly into the syringe.

Luer-Lock Dead Space When Combining Peptides -
Luer-Lock Dead Space When Combining PeptidesHadn’t thought of that! Might involve skill and dexterity possible only if I start research after coffee.

Luer-Lock Dead Space When Combining PeptidesI’d like to routinely combine two or three peptides in a 1 cc Luer-lock syringe, using the method shown in Jeff’s excellent video. I tried it today with KPV and GHK-Cu, and it worked perfectly; it also reduced the sting!
My only concern is dead space. I’ve read that the extra volume trapped in a Luer-lock syringe-and-needle setup can range from 0.05 to 0.08 mL. Should I compensate for that loss when calculating the dose, or try to find low deadspace Luer-lock needles? So far, I haven’t found a suitable product or supplier.
Does anyone have a workaround, needle recommendation, or alternative method? -
Source for 3 ml vials? -
Source for 3 ml vials?Can anyone share a reputable source for 3 mL depyrogenated Type I borosilicate vials with butyl stoppers? I can only seem to find ALK sterile vials (at Farris Labs) in 2 mL or 5 mL sizes.
