What is your experience with using PENS?

[ConnieL]

I purchased about 5 pens to use with research meds used frequently. The fist one I loaded didn't seem to deliver anything so I took it apart and figured out the plunger thing was stuff.

Since then I found an issue with half of my pens plungers. They are stuck and I haven't figured out how to fix them yet.

I find myself doubting that I am even getting correct doses delivered.

Has anyone else experienced this or any other issues using PENS?

I love my eli lilly huma savvio pens, in metal.

Pens sound like a hassle. Is there any advantage over just a regular insulin syringe? For daily injections maybe?

I was skeptical too until I got them. Now I love them. The waste of syringes really really bothers me. I load up several vials into one pen, pen cartridge, and it’s so quick. Now I’m on a few different peptides, and it’s such a breeze to pull them out, slap a needle on and pin it. And a lot less waste.

Don't have any issues with using syringes to inject my RS. Kinda liked playing mad scientist. Then I tried switching to a refillable pen. Weekly pin is now done in a flash. Keep my loaded pen in fridge door. Open door, grab pen, inject RS, return pen to fridge, licketysplit., Once a month I get my 4 7.5ml Mounjaro non reusable, inject directly into a 5ml lurloc syringe, then into a pen cartridge. That's all that's left of my playing with chemistry set.

I’m curious which pens you’re using as well. I have a V1 and just got a Luxura, both are solid and I’ve had no issues at all with my V1.

I'm sure I'll find a pen that fails or doesn't work right the first time, but not so far.

Savio, Bird Pen, V2, Gansulin and they've all just worked. I do have a couple of 3ml cartridges of water that test them with when I first get them. If you have a good coffee scale (0.1g) you can do a decent job of checking several 20-50unit shots with them.

Yes, for daily injections, so much nicer and easier. (but i do use them for weekly too, just because it's nice)
