I'm on the 3rd week on Glow, and recently something started to happen, which is worrying me a bit. As in the thread title, when I have a syringe topped up, and pull out the needle from the vial stopper, it squirts a bit of peptide outside. So anytime I proceed the injection I lose some liquid. I always do it, due to the most of guidelines. And at the beginning it didn't happen. Basicaly started in the 3rd week of the cycle. Anybody has that kind of experience and knows how to avoid it?
 
Making sure there is no air left in the syringe, then pull out, you have to hold it for a little bit, even put some back in to remove the air, then pull again to units needed, hard to explain but once you do it, its pretty easy

I’ll bet the liquid is from the needle and not coming through the stopper.
It is not. I can see a tiny trickle from the vial, when the needle is out. Otherwise I would notice before the shot, that the needle is not entirely full, and I didn't. It looks like a pressure from the vile pushes a bit of pep out, through the pore the needle made .

Maybe...sometimes I can see a tiny bubble in the syringe and try to make it as you say. Pumping couple times, like taking a bit more and than push the liquid back, but eventually no joy. If the bubble appears while the first draw it stays there anyway...

Vent the vial. It’s been over pressured as mentioned above. Or don’t squeeze air into it on a draw or two before drawing the syringe

Are you pushing air into the vial before pull? Too much air in the vial will cause that.
Basically I do push the air to vial before the drag. Set up the syringe on the required dose before I put it into the vial. Push the air and drag. Once I forgot to do it at first, and the syringe was block inside and didn't want to fill up with the liquid.. The plunger was getting back and left the syringe empty...anyway you say lads it is better to pin the vial with no air in the syringe at all?
 
The couple times I saw some leakage I just remembered to not push any air in the next time. When you reconned the vial, did the negative pressure pull the BAC in without any assistance. It should have. Most of the time I never have to provide any assistance to the plunger. If I do, it was probably a 3ml vial being reconned with 3ml BAC. If you reconned with less than 3ml the vial will most likely still have negative pressure.

I'm not sure if there is any truth to this next statement and I don't remember where I saw it. But after your recon if you pull the plunger out and reinsert the syringe, the pressure should balance. I don't know how much negative pressure is generated from contraction when the vial goes into the fridge.

I always vent my vial when I reconstituting it. I inject my bac, then pull the plunger to vent it. It equalizes the pressure. Then the only time I inject air into the vial is when I need to get the last little bit out.

This, vent the vial. Just take a syringe, pull the plunger out, and put it into the stopper - you'll equalize the pressure in the vial.
Will it do the job, if I put the needle only in? I mean the needle from the regular syringe, which I use for adding a back water to reconnect...

Yes. Or you can just pull the plunger out, after injecting your BAC leaving the needle part of the syringe inside the vial.
 
If it's a small, say 31g needle it doesn't fill fast like the thicker ones. I agree, vent that vial. I have a box of 25g needles. just for venting when reconstituting.
 
I once had a Soonsu peel vial explode through the top, I didn’t release the pressure. (I don’t recall why I removed the foil ring completely, but I don’t do that anymore.) Lucky for me it wasn't a tca peel vial. I sometimes stick the needle I drew with back into the top and it pushes air into the syringe by itself. When I mix pla/ha it needs some air let out too. I kind of assumed it’s making gases I don’t want to know about.
 
It will only squirt out if under pressure and upside down, so if you turn it right way up before removing the needle it will not squirt out , and venting will stop it from being over pressure. I had the top blow off one vial from putting too much air in, so go easy on adding air.
 
Thanks guys for the answers and guidance. Now I'm 99% my issue is a matter of not venting the vial after reconstituting. I missed that step completely - a rookie mistake...gonna fix it today before the jab. 👍
 
Thank you all guys. I've vented the vial today and the procedure went smoothly, with not even a one drop lost. Also it eliminated air bubble in the syringe.
 
I just ventured into gray for the first time this week, and I think I'm having similar issues when drawing my dose.

So for venting, do you leave the other needle in the stopper while drawing the dose or just let it vent for a minute before drawing the dose?
