Putting Air in the syringe and into your vial.

[Whiynot20026]

To be or not to be. I read things every day that putting air in the syringe can contaminate the vial. I personally don’t do it. But I have a few friends that do. My philosophy is the more sterile the protocols used the better off your peps will be.

Some of these vials have such a hard vacuum id lose weight from waiting to draw a dose and otherwise unable to use my hands for anything else. Be old and grey by the time that shits done with a 31g needle lol

I wonder how it even works for you then?! I mean, the vials have a vacuum in them. Is it hard to get the peps out?

I have no issues at all. The 31s are slow. The 30s are better. It drips in like an IV. But I’m doing super small doses currently. Nothing over 3mg. I could easily see doing a large dose, and adding air as a benefit for sure.

That's the purpose of the benzyl alcohol in the BAC. It stops any bacteria growth for a reasonable duration of usage after reconstitution.

I usually inject the same amount of air as I'm intending to pull out.

Same here.

Not all do, and not when you filter into a new vial. I normally vent, so no pressure at all. Pushing the air in lets you draw the product into the injection syringe. Drawing into the vials with a 31g is slow enough.

Well, that's putting air into the vial 😛.
