Additional supplies

[theguy91]

what size needles do I need to reconstitute?

What is everybody using? And what’s the best supplier ? I’m in CA, usa

What other supplies makes the process easier? I see folks on here use pens, how would I use that reoccurring, eg if I mix 30mg, can I use a pen, and only dose 7.5?

For reconstituting, I use 3ml, 23Ga 1 inch needles that I get from Amazon. 100 individually wrapped cost about $15. I use just the needle from one to vent the vial and leave it in there to equalize the pressure while using another another to inject the solution.

Same as @AndyPanda above but I also got some 1.5" needles (25G) for use when filtering. I find that the 1.5" needles are great for getting to the bottom of the vial to get everything out. Got them from Amazon.

I haven't used the peppens but I have heard multiple people express great satisfaction with them here.

Yes, you can. You will need pen needles, an insulin pen (pep pen) and a sterile cartridge. I encourage you to search the forums, quite a few threads about different pens people like.

I prefer the pens. You can turn the dial to however many units you want.

Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information

Sep 22, 2024

I don't think I have found all of the information in one place on using peptide pens aka insulin pens. I thought it might be useful for someone out there to have this.

Using an insulin cartridge pen you first need to fill the cartridge with your peptide. That then is inserted into the pen itself. After you load the cartridge, for each injection you will need to add a needle to the end. You then use the dial on the side of the pen to select how many units you want to give. When you are ready to give the injection you push the part of the pen where you dialed your dose.

Why I love this...

Thanks for these specs ... I'm trying to pre-plan my supplies needs/sources before making my first peptides (tirz) buy.

Is the pressure-equalization fairly necessary, or just a little more convenient? Assuming these are syringe/needle combos, do you pull out the plunger first?

Supposedly the GLPs are quite sensitive so it’s good to remove the vacuum before reconstituting. You want to be gentle with them. I find this method is the most effective for most peptides though.

Got it, thanks.

Another question, for anyone to answer: When these are listed as "only for pet dog cat hypodermic, horse medicine Injection, industrial, science lab..." is that a formality, and these are the right ones for cleanly transferring BAC water to the peptide vial? My guess is yes, but...?
