I think I'm the one who has brought Pegasus to people's attention. I LOVE IT! It gives me fantastic energy, not jittery, just energized and so very happy. No, I have no crystals in my vials. Nor were my vials dripping or wet or smelly when received - glad to hear Kimera Chems refunded or did whatever needed to be done. I have only ordered once from them, when I bought two vials of Pegasus. No, there is no lidocaine in it. I guess it could be added. I haven't thought to do so, I personally would not bother. Yes, it can sting a tiny bit, but not often for me. If it stings too much, try splitting the dose. Also look up the right way to inject the insulin needle, there is a right way, for all injections, and it eliminates the ouch of the needle, a fact I wish I had discovered months ago. It is hard, I find, to draw out of the vial. Use a larger gauge needle, if necessary. I have kept mine at 31 gauge and am simply patient. With all hard to vent vials, some people use a Vial Spike. You can find it cheap on Nexus Aminos. I have not procured one of those, but those who have seem to love it. Pegasus is dosed like all lipo-cs and Mic-Bs - by the mL/units: Low dosing is 1mL (100 units) weekly. Mid dosing is 1mL (100 units) two times weekly. High dosing is 1mL (100 units) three times weekly. I have never dosed 1mL at a time. I only ever dose at 50 units at a time, and typically 2 or 3x a week. I use my outer thighs. For those just getting into other peptides beyond GLPs, do know that peps such NAD+ and MOTS-C are considered very spicy, meaning stinging. SS31 is considered a bit spicy too, as well as itchy.
