Pinning Velocity

[Vash_]

1-2 seconds? For peptides. Slower for oils. Maybe 5-6 seconds?

I do the standard 950 fps (feet per second)

you're going WAY too fast. I cap my speed at that of a human falling toward the earth, so like 32.2 ft/s², otherwise you'll get a welt.

How fast are you guys pinning with insulin syringes? I pin 36 units over a few seconds and am just wondering how quickly I can send it before it's a problem.

use a larger gauge needle. the largest insulin one i found was 27 gauge. you can go bigger with luer lock syringes, like 25 (or even 18!). i used to have to do 150 units, for which i used two 1mL 27 gauge insulin syringes, at 75 units each. however i did try 5mL luer lock barrels with a 25 gauge needle for a single injection, but at that volume the subQ bubble was enormous, so i just did two, on opposite sides. so glad i don’t have to that volume anymore.

Are you serious about that concentration and dosage? I'm just curious if legit, does the increased concentration really effect the burn? Lol

I started out on Mounjaro (2.5mg) Everything (vials) from EL, from 2.5 to 15mg, comes in a single .5ml solution. So, I have just kept that concentration as a rule. 31gage needles or smaller are a must for me also.

I pin 10mg in 20 units (0.2mL). Does not affect the burn.

Also, if using an insulin syringe, the fluid comes out as fast as you push the plunger, so there's no reason to wait or count before taking it out. That's only needed with pens.

I don't plan on using pens, but when my wife is done breastfeeding she's gonna run Reta and I'm prolly gonna have to set her pens up lol

My wife won't do it to herself, so I have to blast her, and not the good way.
