They have a great site!

Is the 32g 4mm tip the G-care tip?
I really like the other ones its without a brand. I have no idea how they are so good. Tried other brands but these are so much better!!

Also if you are using Tirz they have bac sodium chloride for a great price too H brand!! work for some others too but not Reta

The cartridges are all 3ml, when I recon my 100mg 5-amino, I use 5 ml of Bac water and put it into two cartridges

Some things you want to pin deeper to reduce mast cell response (ISR) like KLOW/GHK-Cu. Most things are easy to pin with 32ga, but if you're reconning something thick you might want a 29ga so it flows faster (more important with the spring loaded autopens like Convi/Gansu/Allstar.

Also, if you're choosing between V1&V2 pens, you're really selecting whether you want to see the needle before you jab or cover it up so you don't have to look (like the EL Novo pens).
I just took a brief look and I'm already overwhelmed. Does this show my IQ? 🥹

I should just stick to recycling my Sharps gallon container every month....

Do I get V1 pens? There are slims and regulars, brand names and not, different sized needles, different colors dammit. They all have different functions and features wtf... Half of them are sold out on daro and goodies.

Not at all, I get overwhelmed easily too. Its a lot!! I tried goodies, they have great prices & customer service so just stuck with them.

The pen I just got from there V4 is excellent. Super smooth (better than the Ergo2 even which is known to be great & smooth). The Metallic Grey is much prettier in person too. They're in stock too

Okay, so get the V4 pens.

If I have about 14 different peptides, I should get 14 pens right?

And they are all reusable? I can use them as much as I want to?

I'm assuming cartridges are separate and must be bought and are not reusable... ?

Sorry. 😭

Dont feel bad, you can ask me.

Out of the ones Ive tried I really like it (like I was saying its so smooth) & am going to buy more of those. You might want to get different colors of them or label them to make sure you know whats inside. You can share pens with carts (I only do 2 so I had 1 pen to start & just added that new one). As long as you dont choose a disposable pen they are reusable https://goodlifesupplies.com/product/v4/

You need these https://goodlifesupplies.com/product/3ml-pen-cartridge/ Pen carts are not reusable. The ones they offer are sterile

I do like to filter its up to you

https://goodlifesupplies.com/product/pes-syringe-filter-13mm/

You need luer lock needles to fill & 1 to vent (just the tip to vent).

Try this sharps container - just cut the tip... haha just the tip... and throw the rest in the trash, it's great and then you don't have to have the gallon size sharps container.

I was beginning to wonder how I would recycle the 2 gallon sharps containers.... 🤣 🤣 🤣

I just use a pen for the pep I use most often to start.

If you’re doing something every day than start there.

I'm glad I waited because if I got 14 different pens plus another 4 different peps coming, that's 18 pens altogether. 🤣 😭

Then another 100+ cartridges, and 100+ filters....

But what you say makes more sense --- I will get 6 pens instead. 🤣

Thank you kind sir.

Why the needle tip variation?

do they make pens that hold more than 3mL qtys, or do you just have to split your peps that require additional mL's - like 5mL's of NAD would require 2 x 3mL cartriges, when you burn through the first 3mL you plug and play the second?
You'll likely end up using both at some point, and they're cheap enough that it's easier to just buy both at the start.

For me, it's 8mm for Klow so I don't bruise as much, and 5mm for most other things.

If you're getting different pens for different peps, get them in different colors too!

It will make it harder to get confused... unless you go down the path of Niimbot, but that's another rabbit hole!

I'll second the sharpness/convenience and also add that there's just a lot less "sharps" garbage. You just have the tiny. pen needles! If you use 8 insulin syringes a day you're going to fill up a box in a week or two.
I use any hard plastic container. Laundry detergent container, dish pod container, protein power container...
 
Thanks for all the information you guys are providing and the information shared with members. I can make informed decisions with all the information and research I do. The more the merrier!

You dont have to worry about the needle getting dull/er 1st drawing whatever you are using.

The 32g 4mm are so small & you can barely feel those.

I got all my supplies from Goodies. I like buying from them. To me it feels like a smaller family business & they have been really nice.

I have several of the Mrs goodlifes but just got this one & its so smooth https://goodlifesupplies.com/product/v4/ even more than the Ergo2.

Their 32g 4mm tips are even better than name brand too!!
SO much good stuff here. Thanks!!
