Needles for Reta

[Neelix]

I really struggled to pull BAC for my reta and I realized shorty after that I started it was cus I had too small of a guage.. 31G... And I realize I am better off getting different sized needles and one syringe. But I got thru it... The harder part was pulling and injecting the reta... It really faught me for a simple 3CCs.... It took me 3 needles...

Suggestions?

Thanks!

31g will work fine. Vials are vacuum sealed so you need to inject the same quantity of air into the vial as fluid removed. There likely will still be some resistance. I use 27g needles for reconstitution.

Suggest watching a few YouTube videos on reconstituting peptides if you haven’t done so already.

This is not what's recommended, but if I'm going to withdraw a certain number of units, I'll inject that much air plus another another 10%. I find that makes withdrawing stuff easier.

The recommendations on youtube from medical folks is that you inject the same volume of air. Since I'm not involved in healthcare, I'm allowed to do it wrong.

Nothing wrong with 31 gauge needles.

If you're injecting 3 cc into you, you ought to try reconstituting with less BAC water.

That's all I use for all my Peptides including Reta and never had any problems with 31G needles.

Well, clearly looks like I did not do my research properly on how to extract! lol. Did not inject air first! lol thank you!

Be sure to be dead center of vial hole, can be almost impossible if needle is in stopper portion where thicker.

Expanding on @GLP1Pharmacist advice there are syringe guides available on Etsy. I have hand tremors and depth perception issues and can't imagine not using them.

Look what I found on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1795081847/syringe-guide-reusable-peptide-vial?ref=share_v4_lx

Do they making something like that for toilets for those of us who stand? Asking for a friend.

My grandmother had 3 grandsons and a sign that had 3 frogs on it a over her toilet that read:

My aim is to keep this bathroom clean, your aim will help

It doesn't seem like it's the toilet that needs a guide. If your "friend" is willing to sit the Panda Ear should help.

You know how there's that central circle in the top of the vial? I usually will fill a syringe with air and pop it in all the way at the inner edge of that circle after adding the bac I want. I let the vial suck in the air it needs, and sometimes it will take 2-3 sticks depending on the strength of the vacuum. But once the vacuum is gone I can add the amount of air that correlates with what I plan to remove, and I don't have to fight the damn vial. (Keep in mind air itself is not sterile so please don't do this in the same room you poop. Not medical advice blah blah blah.)
