Can someone give me the TLDR on pens

[dancs]

I just use a pen for the pep I use most often to start.

If you’re doing something every day than start there.

I'm glad I waited because if I got 14 different pens plus another 4 different peps coming, that's 18 pens altogether. 🤣 😭
Then another 100+ cartridges, and 100+ filters....

But what you say makes more sense --- I will get 6 pens instead. 🤣

Thank you kind sir.

Why the needle tip variation?
do they make pens that hold more than 3mL qtys, or do you just have to split your peps that require additional mL's - like 5mL's of NAD would require 2 x 3mL cartriges, when you burn through the first 3mL you plug and play the second?

You'll likely end up using both at some point, and they're cheap enough that it's easier to just buy both at the start.

For me, it's 8mm for Klow so I don't bruise as much, and 5mm for most other things.

If you're getting different pens for different peps, get them in different colors too!
It will make it harder to get confused... unless you go down the path of Niimbot, but that's another rabbit hole!

I'll second the sharpness/convenience and also add that there's just a lot less "sharps" garbage. You just have the tiny. pen needles! If you use 8 insulin syringes a day you're going to fill up a box in a week or two.

I use any hard plastic container. Laundry detergent container, dish pod container, protein power container...

Got myself a V2 and did my first shot today from it. Holy cow is that waaay better than insulin needles. Did not feel a thing!

I think pens are so much quicker & easier to use.

You dont have to worry about the needle getting dull/er 1st drawing whatever you are using.

The 32g 4mm are so small & you can barely feel those.

I got all my supplies from Goodies. I like buying from them. To me it feels like a smaller family business & they have been really nice.

I have several of the Mrs goodlifes but just got this one & its so smooth https://goodlifesupplies.com/product/v4/ even more than the Ergo2.

Their 32g 4mm tips are even better than name brand too!!

SO much good stuff here. Thanks!!
