Highlights from this day
- protein_floor — bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all 10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100 19:09
- lyophile_liv — coming back to this update from 25 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since 20:16
- lyophile_liv — is a slightly cloudy solution ever ok or is that always a bin it 20:28
is there any reason not to just always use 2ml
10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100
too dilute imo
swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back
sorry to jump in anyone got a photo of what a properly dissolved vial looks like

it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop, i have it written down somewhere
15mg in 3ml is 5mg/ml. same numbers as 10 in 2, just more of it
do you draw up with the same pin you inject with
the powder is stuck to the stopper, do i care
took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience
thats the vacuum
5mg in 2ml gives 2.5mg/ml, 0.25mg is 10 units. good for a starting dose
the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol
