The amount of bac doesn't matter for mg, but for the volume of the puck. Most vials only hold 3-5 ml of liquid and that is enough to dissolve it. Most people use far less. Most of what you buy will dissolve in 1ml.

I would suggest you do little research, find a recommended peptide calculator and learn how to use it before you hurt yourself.
Broski I am not going to hurt myself normally I need to take a 15mg tirz dose to even quiet my food noise... ive been injecting for 8 months.. i was just curious is more water better... i can add 1ml to my vial or should i add 2 ml i know how to calculate the bac ml to mg just thought that maybe more water is needed on higher dose vials.. YES NO doesnt matter...?
No need to be hostile, you came in asking a basic question, and seemed to think 100 ml of water was a reasonable amount. You came off as new so they responded as if you were new.

You'll want to use a peptide calculator. Try https://primepeptides.co/pages/peptide-calculator. You'll usually end up using at least one mL of bacteriostatic water. Generally speaking, you won't need more BAC water if you using at least one ML of bacteriostatic water. I've never seen a peptide delivered in a vial that can hold as many mL as you have suggested. I'll assume you're using tirzepatide. Assuming your vials really do contain 30 mg of tirzepatide, I'd probably add 1.5 mL of BAC water. That would result in each unit on a syringe (which correspond to .01 mL) containing .2 mg of tirzepatide. If you wanted to take 2.5 mg, you'd divide 2.5 by .2. You then take 12.5 unit. If you wanted to take 5 mg, you'd divide 5 by .2, resulting in 25 units. Let's say you increased your dose and you're on a new, unreconstituted vial of 60 mg. You could stick with 1.5 mL of BAC water. However, each unit would now contain .4 mg of tirzepatide. Or you could add 3 ml of BAC water and stick to the .2 mg tirzepatide per unit.

For the question you asked, you'd fight right in at that Reddit site. There is a Telegram site created by the person who created the Reddit site, although he's since been expelled from Reddit. That site is https://t.me/+Rpdqj7m08x0yY2Nh. The advantage of the Telegram site is that you can discuss sources. Both sites are far friendlier than this forum to newbies who ask questions revealing that they're far from being able to reconstitute peptides somewhat safely.

FYI - For perspective all Zepbound and Mounjaro US shots are 0.50ml of fluid whether 2.5mg or 15mg. Doesn't mean you have to mirror that. Basically its however many ml it takes to dissolve the vial contents then do your math to determine dose.
Thank you. This was the answer I was looking for. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post and explain this with a neutral stance.
You didn’t give me a basic answer. You implied that I was going to hurt myself. It was very condensing and inappropriate. Your response to my response is now implying that you were victimized/insulted. I did not insult you. I just clearly explained what I was trying to do.
Your first response, from me, was neutral. You went off because you got ONE comment you didn't like.
Have you checked out meso?

For me, I start with -how many doses I want to get from a vial? I use 50cc per dose for tirz because Lilly makes it that way. Too little liquid on Glow, GHK, etc and it hurts. So I use about 20-30cc per dose of anything between 0.1 to 2mg. And I do max 50-60cc per pin for me. I suspect there is a science for the dose concentration. A density formula. Why would Lilly use 50cc, if 10cc was enough to inject 15mg.

Actually, I apologize.
I read a post wrong and replied to a comment that wasnt yours.
I'm still on sema. I aim for 10u for a .25 dose, and dose between 5-10u (oyster gave me the confidence to play mad scientist.) I can't imagine a 50cc dose, that sounds huge! (I've also never seen a real pen, so had no idea what they looked like starting.)

I will bump up from 1 ML to 2 ML per 60 MG. I will use that moving forward. Thank you!

The European Mounjaro pens hold 3ml of liquid all in - so their top dose pen of 15mg will contain a total of around 75mg of Tirz in that 3ml (as it's 5 individual shots).
I read something a while ago that with their trials of higher-than-15mg doses there was almost no difference in purity degradation storing the higher doses in the same amount of bac / pens as they already use.
I currently use 0.5ml per 7.5mg of Tirz every 7 days, but I'm going to change that to 0.6ml per 6mg every 5 days after my cartridge pens arrive from Aliexpress and I reconstitute more at one time

Got to love Wiki, etc. Nursing fundamentals. Read up on water injections, and isotonic. Its about a solution being isotonic, in balance with the tissue where injected, to avoid damage, and help the flow thru the cell membranes. To have a similar balance of solutes as the blood in case it is injected directly into a vein. Too low and is called hypotonic. Solutes and solvents (my biology class was such a long time ago). Blood is 90-92% water. Still searching for a formula.

An isotonic solution of mannitol (the filler in each vial) is 5%, which seems to be similar to an isotonic 5% solution of glucose. Really need an RN to chime in. Is the amount of mannitol the same in a 10mg vial compared to a 60mg vial? Google AI say is 250mg per vial. Need to weight a full vial to an empty vial then.
