Completely agree. Semantics are confusing when we are new to this. Maybe they should call it "bulk" or "set", but exactly, like you said ", kit" sounds like it comes with the R20 plus extra bits to get us started, e, BAC, pins, alcohol swabs, etc... Perhaps vendors need to have a better description on the pages, such as a FAQ section?!?!

You figured out the R20 was 20mg of reta in the vial. The rest will come too.

This forum has a lot to be mined.

In the tirz world, as you guys know a kit comes with everything, I was just hoping for the bac water, even told the vendor I was new and unsure of what I was doing. He could have said "buy some bac water dummy". Surprised he didnt.

Yep I understood the two vials, but wasnt sure about the bac water. Where would I learn about dehydrating the reta pucks? And the transfer syringes?

Youtube has videos about reconstituting peptides. Here is one that's pretty good.
---> reconstitute peptides <---
For supplies
---> injectionshop.com <--- or ---> allthingspeptides.com <---
The 1st link sponsors this website but doesn't carry injection pens
The 2nd link is where I have personally bought from without a single problem

You don't need to learn about dehydrating anything because you won't be doing that. Perhaps you meant rehydrating? I call that reconstituting ... adding the water making the puck into a liquid.

I get the impression, they have no idea what they are selling.
My friend said she wanted to buy XX from Uther, and he didn't even know, it was on his list, lol.

No it doesn't. If you buy tirzepatide from big pharma, it's an auto injector. If you buy compound, you get the reconned vial. No where do they sell everything you need.

Also, sales reps aren't your friend, they sell. That's it. They're not there to teach you protocol or what to do/buy.

Brello does, and some of the others. That's where I came from. You get a cooler with the vials, and enough alcohol wipes and syringes to get all the way through them.

For the amount they charge, I guess I'm happy they include $1 syringes and $0.50 alcohol wipes.

I did two orders before cancelling; one for me (I didn't know about grey) and a second for a dear friend who doesn't want to do grey and can't swing the $500 all at once, so she's getting it out of my fridge a vial at a time. I gave away the first cooler, but kept the second. That's like a $300 styrofoam cooler, I'd better get good use out of it!

Shit, I forgot about the $300 cooler. You're totally right, my bad. 😄

Not true. The compounding pharmacies do include the sharps, the wipes, enough for the alloted
no of scheduled uses. At least I did.

We all start somewhere. I’m going to share a couple you tube videos that show the basics. When you reconstitute, you don’t have to filter the fluid but the video shows it so you’ll know how if you feel that’s a good idea. I linked to a forum sponsor, the prices are ok, except BAC water which is the least expensive I've found it. These are all just starting off places, not the best not the worst. everyone will have an opinion I'm sure. But this is what I found to be most helpful when I started a couple months ago.

Buy these supplies:
Sharps container: https://injectionshop.com/acc-mediclip.html/ (clip the needle, toss the body)
insulin needles: https://injectionshop.com/insulin.html/ (pick a gauge 27 bigger, 31 smaller)
Recon needles: https://injectionshop.com/ts-bd-3ml-25g.html/ (transfer BAC WTR to Vial)
Alcohol pads: https://injectionshop.com/sup-prep-pads-bd-100.html/ (scrub the top of the vial, scrub the skin on your body)
BAC Water: https://injectionshop.com/sol-ba-diluent-30ml.html/

If you choose to filter:
Filters: https://injectionshop.com/flt-pes-2213.html/ (13mm for 3ml volume, push it through slowly, gently)
Transfer/fill needles: https://injectionshop.com/ndl-bd-pg.html/ (18g, 1.5", 10 pack)
Sterile empty Vials: https://a.co/d/5YKyPoE (something like this)

Reconstitution/filter instructions:

Hey I just wanted to thank you! My first order of reta is coming at the end of this week, I ordered everything you listed from the injection shop and then the empty vials from Amazon. Lol only cost about 80 bucks. I am seriously grateful.
Its not so much about spoon feeding, as there is so much info and paths to follow and it gets really confusing. Thanks to this post I have a very good path to follow, soooo, thanks again.

So I ordered a ten vial RT kit. What the heck comes in a kit?

It's a good question because a kit can mean all types of things. My personal pet peeve with GLP-1 terminology is the use of "unit" to refer to one hundredth of a cc (or ml). I'm used to unit meaning something more general. E.g., "Any determinate amount or quantity (as of length, time, heat, value) adopted as a standard of measurement for other amounts or quantities of the same kind." Webster's Revised, Unabridged Dictionary (1913), definition 4.

You may know this but the terminology comes from insulin, and is only being used for GLP-1 because we are using insulin syringes.

A unit of insulin is… well here:

“One international unit of insulin was the amount of insulin required to lower the fasting blood sugar of a rabbit by 2.5 mmol/L. With the advanced technology nowadays, we now know one unit of insulin is equivalent to 0.0347mg of pure crystalline of insulin.”

To make things easier, they developed a formulation that contains 100 units of insulin per 1ml, and sell u100 syringes that have these units marked out.

Since GLP1 injections are subcutaneous, and u100 insulin syringes are ubiquitous, u100 insulin syringes became the go-to method of administering GLP1s. And since the insulin units are already marked out, and it’s easier to say “units” than “hundredths of a milliliter”… well there you go. “Units” is technically incorrect in the context of GLP1 dosing but the terminology is here to stay.

Buying grey is different than any type of online "shopping" you've experienced before. It's unregulated and often described as the "Wild West". Customer service is minimal, you won't get a tracking number for several days after ordering, if a vendor stiffs you there's no one to report them to (other than sharing your experience in the forums), and there are dozens, if not hundreds, of vendors. Getting all of them to add FAQs would be like herding cats. It can be frustrating, especially when you're new, but it's the nature of the game. Keep reading in the forums, make some small orders, and you'll figure it out in time.

Depends where you've been before. I found purchasing peps surprisingly easy for what I expected going in lol
