A pen is...

[randompersonrandom]

A pen is obviously the most sanitary way to do my tirzepatide; since I ought to be filtering them anyway, why not filter into a cartridge, install it in a pen, and use it that way so that no air ever gets into the "vial" in the course of using up the med; and I don't have to keep piercing the vial every time.

A pen is so obviously a horribly unsanitary way to do my tirzepatide, which will surely become contaminated from backflow and I'm just fooling myself about it keeping a vial fresher for longer.

I have googled for days, watched videos, even got on TikTok (I did NOT like that, I am too old for all that), read many discussions, and discussed it extensively with ChatGPT, because "a machine confidently lying to me" is somehow acceptable to me.

I have bought all of the other supplies; I have enough of everything to last me years. If nuclear war happened, I'd be a frightened savage scavenging in the wilderness but by God I'd be a THIN frightened savage (assuming my freezer still works.) Now I am bored and I want the dopamine hit of buying a pen and feeling happy about how sanitary it will make it when I inject Chinese mystery powder I bought from someone who called me "Dear."

But, like...which is it? Is it more sanitary, or less sanitary?

IMO the answer is your sanitation habits in reconstitution and utilization.

So you think a pen, used with all the best sterile technique for a pen, and a vial and syringe used the same, are about equal?

This just in: the exact conversation I needed to either have or read someone else having just spontaneously arose in the thread about people's experience with SSA. 😂 So I guess we're good!

peptide testers did a couple of you tube videos on sanitary recon and filtering.

Sorry that was me. I forget which thread topic I'm in sometimes. Non sequitor queen..

It's like I manifested you, but in a different place than I meant to.

THANK you, I'll go check that out! The reason I'm super interested is because I've got T-30's on a 2.5 mg dose, and IF I can make them last the whole twelve weeks, then I'm pretty much done buying tirz, for years. Maybe that's fine with or without extra steps (filtering, pen), maybe that's too dangerous even with the most care and caution. I haven't figured out where I fall on that spectrum, in terms of my own comfort level.

Thank goodness. Now you can free your budget to buy the peptide-of-the-day, the group-buy-of-the-day, a dozen NovoPen 6 pens, and customized, 3D-printed storage solutions, haha.
