I just ordered my first pens. I can't recall the thread where I found this resource originally (somewhere here in this forum), but I found this helpful bridging the mental gap from insulin needles to pens. TBD on how it goes

Pens, Pens, and Did I Mention, More Pens

Pens, Pens, and Did I Mention, More Pens! Introduction Insulin pens have been around for quite some time. Most have moved to disposable but, before that, we had reusable insulin pens. Most of these pens use standard 3mL vial cartridges that can be filled with whatever solution that you would lik...

Where do you get these pens? I’ve asked a lot of suppliers in the vendor section here and none of them seem to sell them

There are a bunch of pen suppliers listed on STG but I got my convipen which I love from peppys sunny box collective (sunnybox.studio). I also have a Lilly Luxura (blemishes) that I got on aliexpress for maybe $20, but I prefer the convipen as you don't have to worry about technique making it easier or harder to press. Allthingspeptides sells sterilized (by her) cartridges too. I have no collection with these sellers but they delivered for me.
 
I'm planning on switching to a pen when I've had enough of being a walking science experiment and get back to just using reta. But for now, I cycle through way to many stacks and don't feel like buying and then setting up 20 pens. I go through 2-3 boxes of insulin syringes a month. lol
 
Another small thing with pens to consider is that the pen needles are often (in the us) a regular shelf item in pharmacies and you can just pick them up whenever instead of waiting on ordering online or asking at the counter and maybe only getting 10 at a time. Im partially looking into them for this reason as well as just the ease of use behind them.
 
Yes, we use pens and insulin needles. Depends on what pep it is, what the pin schedule is, what the dosage is, and a handful of other criteria that determines for me what to "load a pen" and what to just use an insulin needle on.
 
I'm a needle guy for my reta and TRT. Insulin needle for reta and slightly larger gauge for TRT. Both subq and 99% of the time it's painless.

There are a few with good coa's but kits are about 30% higher than china direct. I don't fuss over it though.

I meant more which peptides are good for dogs, dosages, that sort of thing. Like this forum, but pets 🐶

Sure why can't dogs be included? There is a thread just for cats on here!

Do you pin the gluthatione subcutaneously or IV? What are the benefits you experienced? Thinking about it for skin benefits.

Subcu, and I do a full pen or a full 1ml syringe in my butt. I found it to be the fleshiest 😄 and least painful spot.

Also, I found the 1/2" 29g pen needles to be the least painful with glutathione. Shorter thinner needles leave me with welts and burn.
 
I've used both. I used pens with Trulicity and Ozempic. I like them much better, they are one use though. I've looked on line for pens, and am somewhat overwhelmed by how many that there are, and how little data they give on the use in the ads. At some point I will make the switch. I hate filling syringes and having to deal with the used ones.
 
I got a couple of GensuPen 2 .

They are now made with plastic insides in Poland.

You can buy them from online shops there about 45-65 us + shipping

Got mine from eBay from a German user.

Verified one pen dosage from 10 to 50 units and was spot on
