Rookie syringe question...

[indolent]

@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’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.

Well, if you’ve never received them before will you really know what they look like?

Ok, good luck then!

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

I try to use enough BAC so that the draw I need is about 20-50 units. This means it fits in a 0.3 cc or 0.5 cc syringe, and it is easy to read the marks. It also means that it will be impossible to make a dumb mistake and accidentally draw up a big overdose, because the dose simply won't fit in the syringe.

Even if I could easily measure and dispense 2 units from a 1 cc syringe, I would not choose to mix it that way.

@tahiles you may enjoy the spreadsheet in my signature as it calculates dose options once you provide the vial mg and BAC mL. (Or it may make no sense to you, I made it for the way my brain works!)
