Gansulin Auto Injector Pen

Just bought a gansulin off of ebay... it's 1 iu short at the 10 and 20 dose. Then it is 2 iu's short at the 30 and 40 dose, and 3 iu's short at 50 and 60. I guess I'll just have to remember that and crank it up depending on my dose.
 
More info from TG, saying Gansulin and (much cheaper) Convipen are the same except for color:






Another person on TG said they only spent $45 on their Convipen.

For the Gansulin, "You can find them for $60-$80 most of the time from resellers."

So back to square one:



Website and manual for the Nemera Advapen (Bird pen / GensuPen 2):



I really appreciate all the footwork on the manufacturers, I now know the roots of my new GensuPen 2.
 
So what are the chances that this is a legit knockoff? 😆
It says manual pen. The Gansulin (now Gensu2) pens were automatic (spring loaded). So I'd say, you'll get something labeled "Sulin". You can also find the Gansulin pens on AliEx for ~$100 which is a giant rip off. You can get them through group buys from Poland and India for <$10ea, but the shipping is hundreds. If the group gets 100 pens you get a decent price ~$25-35 with a US reship.

You can find Convi pens around a bit easier on the different sites and those are almost the same manufacture and same quality (but different colors) but ~$40 shipped from a website.

I sent @littledragon25 a DM trying to join a GB and then saw that they weren't taking any new peeps. /sigh

I can pick up a Gansulin from a stateside vendor for $58 IIRC.
If I'm not mistaken the GensuPen2 is the one manufactured in Poland. The GensuPen2 and Bird pen are variations of the Nemera Advapen.
Gansulin and Convipen are manufactured under Ypsomed's Servopen license. Convipen are made in south asia/middle east, Gansulin are made in China.
/ Hat tip to Calm Logic for the pen history.

I suspect that they may take more people sooner than later, but that's sheer speculation. They got A LOT of STG refugees, and some of those were real beef jerky.

Pen vendor Daro claims "This pen is like basically the Gansulin, both are Ypsomed’s Servopen. except it is not manufactured in China but in Switzerland."

Which would make me more interested in checking one out.
Gensupen2 being made in Poland is why I chose it for my first pen with the thought that European manufacturing might be better than China's.
 
I have both the Convipen and Gansulin... Gansulin has a nice slow clicking release and the Convipen just releases as fast as it can. I like both but the Gansulin just feels nicer with the slow release. My Convipen is more accurate than my gansulin tho YMMV. I also have V1 slims and V2's and they are surprisingly accurate from low to max doses. I just find the auto injector's much easier to administer on myself.
 
Got 3 Gansulin2 from Poland , built quality is ok , same for accuracy price between 45-65 us.
V1 I think. Is the best , i couldn’t find any to buy
 
Aliexpress seems to have run out of Gansulin pens or they have been removed. I'm getting an ops message. There are quite a few new ones as a lover price there now nova 4 looks like it may be ok.
 
I tried to order to Europe they don’t deliver, Us only Goodlife Goodies

Bought 2 more from a shop site liki24 40us + shipping
 
If you know a eu shop in eu for a automatic insulin pen of any brand please share the info , it seems the number of peptides stack is increasing for me 🙂
The liki24 shop is now empty.
 
Definitely not the right site. I’ve ordered from goodlife before and appreciate their prices and selection. There are actually 2 sites - one for supplies and another (the Mrs site) for other products. They have a telegram server where you can stay up-to-date on offerings, sales, etc. You can find that channel linked openly on Data Mining Site.
would you my dm me the Telegram server, I cant find it for the life of me.
 
Been a while since anyone put something in here, checking in on how these pens are holding up for everyone. Thinking about pulling the trigger on one soon.
 
Big dog , mines fine I had a recent issue and posted on it , but that my error that I've since worked out was a mistake on my side . I'll get around to updating that post and sharing my mistake.

Otherwise I have three of them and they work great .
 
In addition to above , for my water based peps I've found the rare but obtain able 34g 4mm pen needles really good. Genuinely pain free, no skin marking at all and I'm sure the smaller insertion into the cartridge is also a good thing as I run fairly high concentration and my usable cartridge time is probably more than most. I figure less impact on the cartridge is preferable compared to larger diameter needles

None of my auto injectors have proven reliable. I have 2 Birds and they are the worst. They tested great new, but before getting through a full cartridge, they started hanging where they don’t inject the full dose. You have to keep clicking the button and “helping” it by also turning the cap at the end. Defeats the whole purpose of an auto injector. When I asked around, people said “yeah, they don’t like to be cold.” But peps are stored in the fridge and I’m not going to take the cartridge in and out of the pen every day as that also defeats the purpose of having a pen to begin with.

The Gensu2 is basically the same design but metal and better, but also started hanging about 1/3 of the way through its first cartridge.

The Convi is the best, but also hangs. It now takes 2-4 clicks to get it to dispense the full dose.

I’ve checked all of my cartridges to make sure the rubber stopper isn’t in backwards. (I saw pics of a batch of cartridges where this was the case.) I also tried putting a little olive oil on the plunger/screw mechanisms and working them in and out multiple times but that didn’t improve performance either.

So, honestly, it’s hard to beat the manual V1 slim that I paid $17 for (but can frequently be found for $13). I’m probably done with auto injectors at this point.

I think I am going to get a couple and test them out (including V1 & V2). I hope I get some good ones.
