Peptide pens?

Anyone hear use peptide pens?

Just wondering what the typical wastage is for them? I’m wondering if the priming and dead space might lose quite a few doses.

You might see a few units lost at first prime, but not enough to significantly eat into your total peptide doses if you’re using them right.
 
Thanks guys, from some further research, most of which is only from the pre filled pens such as ozempic etc they appear to come with an extra 0.5ml for wastage. Can't find anything on the resuable ones, I was just worried with only 2ml in the vial losing a quarter of it is a big cost. Will order some and test, any recommendations?
 
I've used them a few times, didn't notice much wastage but personally prefer the insulin needles.
I've been trying to use insulin needles, but the 3ml vial stoppers are so stiff and the entry area being so small and trying to get the needle in with out touching the sides of the inside of the stopper bit, I ended up with hard to push in needles. My love handles look like a pin cushion. Tried 0.5ml 29g, 1ml 27g, I've tried and failed at back filling. Nothing worked. I've even tried the good old changable needles, but end up wasting loads trying to get some of the air out. Or having multiple attempts trying to get more air to the back of the syringe to push the rest of the peptide out. I think in hindsight I should have just transfered to a 10ml vial, but was worried about wastage and degregadtion.
 
I reconstitute and transfer everything into a 10ml
Ah ok, I thought about doing this but heard it degrades the compound, how much though is anyone's guess. I was just more worried that I'll be using the same vial for about 3-4 months so already pushing it. But think i'll do this next time. Just need to find the best place to order sterile vials.

Nah done right it won’t degrade it. What ****s the peptides are heat and light. Compounding pharmacies use larger vials all the time. There's heaps of websites you can buy sterile vials
