Rookie syringe question...

@tahiles Just so you understand how off you are in your plan: a drop of water is understood to be 0.05 mL, which converts to 5 units!

1mL = 100 units.

Shoot for a draw (when pinning) that's a numbered tick on your syringe, between 10 and 40 units. Work back from there. The amount of bac water to use for reconstitution in what is probably a 3mL vial should be around 1mL, maybe.

[The custom seems to be to discuss reconstitution in mL, and draws for pinning in units.]
 
I appreciate that, I really do. How many units would you try to get in one of those tiny vials? I was really surprised at how small they are.
Take a quick look at this video, and take this slow, you have time to do it right.
The jar holds just over 3 ml. 100 unit/1cc insulin syringe is 1ml

( I was corrected, 1ml=1cc )

I suggest you heed the advice of others and take a few minutes to read/search/watch videos
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THIS COMPANY IS- JUST A GOOD TUTORIAL

I’m not injecting for a couple of weeks. Did you miss my post above where I asked about injecting 10 units of water into an 5mg vial, and one unit out equaling .5 dosage? Pretty simple method without needing a calculator.

You also didn't seem to know what the vials and their contents would look like. I'm not being rude; I'm making sure you are being safe.

Make sure you check your COA- a vial is often over filled by a large amount as well. So your 1/10 measurement could end up being enough to make you ill.

you're confused about what a cc is. They are not the same as a unit, they are equal to mL

Holy shit.. you are correct.
One milliliter (1 mL) is equivalent to one cubic centimeter (1 cc). Therefore, a 1 mL syringe is also considered to be a 1 cc syringe.
I apologize and retract if I can. I do try to be accurate. That was a major mistake.
Sometimes I am over optimistic in my knowledge.
please..please.. read my disclaimer
