Brand new. First order. I need help pls

[MeedzMoar]

I made my first testing order. When I removed the cap from the product, some of the metal rim came off with it and now I cannot recap the reconstituted product vial.

What do I do?

I feel so dumb. The bac water vial cap came off easy peasy.

Oh, and don't make my rookie mistake and get 30 unit syringes. Duh. Of course, I bought a box of 100. Because I don't do anything small. LOL

Just store your vial properly and wipe rubber cap off each time to draw with a syringe. I store mine in fridge in a case. Follow good clean technique, wash hands, use alcohol rub on skin. You should be fine.
I use Tirz 30 mg vials. I dilute with 60 units of BAC. I draw up 20 units for a 10 mg dose each time. Order 100 unit syringes and put those away for maintenance maybe someday. Good luck.

That’s a tear off cap. It’s fine

You can’t replace the cap on any of them….

Wipe off before use should be with alcohol pads. Plastic cap is meant to be discarded. Some come off easily and others with great care.

You are not supposed to recap it.

It supposed to happen like that so you don't mix up an open vial with a sealed one. Think of it like that plastic ring on a gallon of milk. when its broken you know its been opened.

And re the 30-unit syringe... that's fine, for the weight-loss peptides anyway.

Use the reverse calculator that's linked in my signature (rotate phone to landscape/horizontal to view).

Choose 20 units (regardless of mg) if you'll be at the same dosage in milligrams for the whole vial. Or even 10 units if that'll help you with anticipated increases in the dose. Try to figure it out so you're only using the numbered ticks on your syringes.

I hate those caps so much.

Thank you. For as much as I thought I understood and know, I definitely didn't know this. Again, thank you. And thanks for not making me feel any less smart than I already did.

Now that I have encountered them, me too. Glad I'm not alone.

This is a brilliant analogy. Thank you.

Thank you. I clicked the link in your signature when I first joined. The calculators have helped me wrap my head around dosages and what to purchase.

Thanks for the tips on how to approach dosing with these 30-unit syringes. They will be fine for dosing. I ordered a small quantity of 100-unit syringes to make reconstruction simpler.

Generous of you (& everyone) to take the time to reply to such a (stupid) newbie issue.

We were all newbies when we started down this path. 😉

I went with 100unit syringes for everything. Cost is the same-ish and I can still see the marks within one or two units for a pin. Most of my pins are 15-40units, but I’m also okay with my hygiene practices pulling 300-400 units of BAC water for recon. If I have questions about it, $0.21 each is easy to toss. Dose math makes sense to me as I deal with parts per million and gallons per thousand barrels for work.

Also, glad to have you here!

Well.... My intention was to go with 100 unit syringes but ordered 30s not thinking of reconstituting and how much SIMPLER it would be in increments of 100 vs 30. All good. I can math on the fly in my head. LoL

Thanks for the kind welcome. ☺️
