Needle size for SubQ injections - help!

[desinr-gal]

The 29's poke a little more that the 31. My wife hated the 30g I had. I only had a few, and using them for something else. The 31 do bend, but mainly going in the stopper. I've got it down pretty good now. Dead center on it helps a ton.

If you get sterile vials, and transfer your pep (and I recommend you filter) into that, they have the thinner self healing caps that are easy to pierce with skinny needles and dont dull them as much!

I tried doing it in the center but I guess I'm too rough with it or something. The damn thing even bends when I pin sometimes. Needle pokes don't bother me subq. I don't think I could ever be an IV drug user though.

Most vendors are using those heavy plugs. They are not meant for re-drawing and dosing. You should transfer to a new vial with self healing cap.

I do just that but the stopper doesn't seem any more forgiving than the vials powder ships to me in.

Really? The ones I bought are just like the kind from the pharmacy. They should be described as self healing? Meant for many uses..

I got some empty vials coming in before I gotta make a new batch this weekend and hopefully they've got thinner plugs. I got like 80 of those thin needle syringes left. The syringes that I use for reconstituting are a lot thicker. Those are 26g I think.

They are self-healing sterile, non-pyrogenic vials. I just don't find them any/much easier to pierce than the lyophilized powder vials.

I use 30g 8mm insuline syringes for glp1 (sema and reta). Any advise on Ghc-cu? I'm starting it soon, can I use the same size or should I try something different?

May I ask where you buy them? If you say Hawaii, I'm out.

I have bought things from different vendors and I can't remember. Look for the phrases:

Sterile, self healing injection port, and description that mentions many uses or draws.

I just googled and found these.. I have not purchased them before.

Look for sterile, non-pyrogenic. ALK is the brand to look for, I'm told. KS-Tech also offered up to me as good, safe source.

You have a link to those ALK vials young lady? I have 10 3ml KS-Tech vials. I guess I'm going to start filtering.

I think also premiumvials.com

InjectionShop and PeptideTest also carry, I believe. Not sure if they are ALK. Can't remember.

I might need a filter supplier.

KS-Tech is supposed to be just fine. Don't go get something else if you already have them.

Do I have to do everything for you????

Hahahaha. If you could please. I have 10 filters for now. Is 1 filter for reconstituting two vials OK?

Started at 8mm 30g 1ml syringes...switched to 5ml 31g pens and loving life! Still use my 30g for recon and transfer to pen vials tho

 

[Good-Heart6425]

If you want them tiny, pens needles are the smallest. 4mm 32g are small & thin if that's what you're looking for

This is exactly my experience! Gratitude and mahalos for those little green label pen needles!
