Injector Pen

[aDerpyPenguin]

There’s a couple threads hovering around in various places, but I thought a thread in this category may alleviate future posts.

How many of you use a pen rather than syringes? I ended up buying the Lilly Ergo 2 off AliExpress because it was the most affordable. I travel frequently enough for work that I thought it may be easier to travel with rather than a vial and syringes. Planning on getting one of those thermoses to place it in for travel.

Any suggestion on other pens, or experience with the Ergo 2?

If you use more than one peptide you will end up with more pens. Aliexpress has a good price on what ezpens sells as v2 pen.

Do you have a link to that? When I first started looking, it seemed like most pens popping up were equal price, which is why I went with the Ergo 2. That one was only $12 shipped.

Thread 'Pep Pen aka insulin pen peptide pen information'

Sep 21, 2024

I don't think I have found all of the information in one place on using peptide pens aka insulin pens. I thought it might be useful for someone out there to have this.

Using an insulin cartridge pen you first need to fill the cartridge with your peptide. That then is inserted into the pen itself. After you load the cartridge, for each injection you will need to add a needle to the end. You then use the dial on the side of the pen to select how many units you want to give. When you are ready to give the injection you push the part of the pen where you dialed your dose.

Why I love this...

The Ergo is cheaper. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...22a874&afSmartRedirect=y&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

I haven't tried the Ergo 2 but if it's similar to other Lilly it's a good pen.

My favorite feature of the savvio is when you vial is getting lower you can twist the end and as long as it's under 60 units it stops at how much you have left. An example. This morning I only had 21 units left in my vial and last night I didn't know if I needed to make a new cart. I checked and sure enough 21 left which was exactly what I needed for this morning. The v2 doesn't do that. I wonder if the Ergo does.

It's 14.71 for me currently

Figured it out. If you don't have an account they show you a discounted price on your first item as a "new member" incentive.

I use my Pen only for daily injectons. I fly about 4-6 times in a month and nobody cares about vials and syringes. One time I got asked for what this is and I answered for diabetes and they lost intrest in it

I've ordered an ergo 2 today.
How are you finding it?
My question is though if I want to use a quarter of the total volume is that 60 clicks or 15?

More info may be needed depending on dosage and concentration but yes, one quarter of 60 is 15.
I use the Ergo pen and find it simple to use, store, and it was inexpensive. No problems with it so far and would not hesitate to repurchase if it craps out for some reason.

I'm planning to put 10mg in there, currently researching 2.5mg a week

My confusion comes from UK style pens where you have to do 60 clicks each time for a dose I think

 

[Jackal]

Ok, hold on. How many ml of fluid will be in the cartridge? If you are putting 1ml of fluid in the cartridge (which hold 3ml total) then it would be 25 clicks. I urge you to use a pep calculator to get the proper dosage.
